Liam's Z Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 .......but the point is we don't have Autobahns in England were everybody does 150 mph. We live in England and ....... Since this is the 350z-UK site, then I'd like to clarify that we don't all live in England, and that there are also no autobahns in Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW what the f88k is a vexillogillollogillist? A person who studies flags is a vexillologist The word vexillology is a synthesis of the Latin word vexillum and the suffix –ology meaning "study of". The vexillum was a particular type of flag used by Roman legions during the classical era. I use wikipedia too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek_ZR Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 They wave England flags in England Gus - the place was full of them. Cant work out the reason, but flying from poles, buildings, cars - stuck on back of cars etc.... Still not sure why they do something like that. A little flag on my number plate is more than enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, you obviosly didn't read all that page, so I'll paste the specific bit I was referring to, ie about the BBC "The BBC website disregards the term "union flag" because of its "great potential for confusion", preferring union jack" Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
