I consider that to be more important than being British - ask a Welshman, Irishman or Scot. Merry Christmas everyone  I agree that this is a real omission. It is very strange that us Brits cannot fly under our English, Scottish, or Welsh flags. Sorry, was not intending to disrespect any group of people gathered under any flag. Again, I do sincerely apologize. 
We know you weren't - just a little point we like to make sometimes.
If I were from the Isle of Man I can have my own flag, and as that is a sovereign state of Britain it does seem strange that England, another sovereign state is not represented.
How can we re-create the Six Nations Cup - if three of them cannot be represented, I ask you.
So no insult taken, just a bit of honest to goodness humour.
I do understand though - it would be very upsetting for the Italians to always come last behind the other five nations as happens in Rugby.
Better not to let the English fly under their own flag |
