The Solution to the NI Flag Issue?

Geek Note : The Paraguan flag has a different front to back and is the only flag to do this. Others have the lettering not reversed so it is readable but the Paraguan one has a different symbol in the middle. Stange but true.

I thought the French toyed with the idea of emulating this when they were asked to take part in GW1.
The Yanks suggested one with all white on one side and a yellow stripe down the back.

In naval warfare a whole language based on flags evolved.

This is actually the origin of the word "slag". The original message was "your flag is dirty"

Flags were invented because of radios. FACT!

well, a lack of radios to be exact.

In the olden days, in a noisy battle , rapid communications were impossible. The only way you could quickly discover where units and the line was, was by looking at the unit flags.

Flags were used to pass messages. In land warfare, an army would use a maximum of three, to avaoid confusion. In naval warfare a whole language based on flags evolved.

I thought they could print the Union Flag on one side and the Irish Tricolour on the other side. On a windy day no one could argue which one was flying..

Sorted..
