Welsh dragon call for the Union Flag

A iuntresting idea that crops up every now and again.

Not going to happen tho.

Cost
Sentimentality
Tradition
Recognition

Any one of those is enough to veto it.

Imagine: the dragon without the white and green bar, put in the low right corner, not bigger than 1/9 of the union jack's size.

Wouldn't look too shabby.

If anywhere i'd imagine it would go in the top left as most flags seem to do it.

Let's don't be picky.

Only spare the centre. That would be a bit rich. :p

Sorry, my old graphic design picky-ness flowing through there!

The centre would be a catastrophe.

Here's a flag I found with not only the welsh dragon, but the Cornwall crest! Can't see this one coming to light!

There's a nicely done explanation of the flag and it's history here: http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch...nionjack2.html

Intersting that they say Wales aren't entitled to be on the flag because they aren't a kingdom, they're a principality...
