So it seemed - as well as being wrong...


This from The Flag Institute, the UK's national flag charity... (yes, there really is such an organisation!!)


"It is often stated that the Union Flag should only be described as the Union Jack when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a relatively recent idea. From early in its life the Admiralty itself frequently referred to the flag as the Union Jack, whatever its use, and in 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that Their Lordships had decided that either name could be used officially. Such use was given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that ?the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag?.

      Our son goes to Dulwich Village Pre School and i can’t recommend more highly. Set surrounded by fields and run by a group of kind, straight forward and competent women.

      Temporary traffic lights on East Dulwich Grove

      By ed_pete · Posted

      The TW leak is right outside JAGS at the top of the hill and water was flowing in both directions.  At one point, combined with the thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon, the road under the bridge on Village Way was flooded as it couldn't drain fast enough.  Traffic was turning around rather than risking it. I don't think the lights on the bend are related but could be I guess.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      I am bowing out of having anything to do with the community notice board issue now. I just went back to the beginning of the thread to read it through again,  because I couldn't remember how the whole discussion started. I then saw that the OP appears to have recently  been right through the thread they started in January and added various emojis to posts, including a quite inappropriate laughing emoji on a post concerning their own editing and/or deletion  of  at least one very nasty post about at least one  other forum member. It seems a bit ironic that that should be on a forum thread they started about an issue supposedly to benefit the community. And  they have also put  "confused" emojis on some of my posts which seem perfectly clear to me. I imagine that  when they read this they will go back and remove the emojis. Hopefully they  now have  enough information from Pugwash about the keys and the location of  unlocked noticeboards to finish their original excellent quest, which apparently started well over a year ago when they began emailing councillors, because I no longer have any inclination to spend more time on it.
