🏆 My Goal 🏆
My goal is to share the stories of flags on CZcams to as many of you as possible. To bring them to life through quick and simple facts, history, meaning in as entertaining a way I can.
I want to cater to those of you who might want to know a little more about a flag linked to a holiday to a vexillologist who knows their sh.... stuff. I want to help YOU, whoever you are out there reading this, increase your knowledge and expand your horizons in the world of flags. And maybe have some fun with it as well.
Be seeing you!

    From what I heard, the Russians did not care about the flag. They had the Tsar Symbol. But the Dutchman delivering the ships gave a strong suggestion that they would need a flag that would show their bought ships as Russian on the seas. And they were like, whatever. And they rearranged the colours.

    I have always said UK flag or Flag of the UK because of reasons outlined in this video. Though I never like to miss an opportunity to annoy the type that feels the need to correct people about this issue.

    • @FlagsinFocus
      @FlagsinFocus Před 4 dny

      I guess the point is, like with Big Ben, if someone says Union Jack, we all know what they’re talking about. Life is surely too short for these types of arguments?

      @@FlagsinFocus I have aways found it to be a pointless intellectual power play, a sort of “I know this and you don’t” kind of thing. Same with Big Ben as you point out, or Hoover/vacuum cleaner and HotTub/Jacuzzi. No body really cares and everyone knows what you mean! Though I might start a change petition to “make ‘Union Flag’ and ‘Union Jack’ both official names for the flag of the United Kindgom”. Not sure how many would sign it though and might need to add a “regardless of when, where or how it is flown” stipulation lol.

      @FlagsinFocus Před 4 dny

      @hxduck at least it might make it officially official then, not that I would question the Flag Institute with its findings, but maybe at last having something that declares such a title for the flag…. but then…. time….
