Non-UK resident with no Scots in the family closet, so I have no dog in this fight. ;)

Post by: Gingie on July 15, 2013, 10:32:30 AM: Q on the blue used in the Scottish Flag: So, I *thought* the Union Flag was made up a composite of flags, the Scottish St Andrews Saltire forming the white X and blue background. But on many Scottish flags I see the blue is not the Navy Blue of the Union Flag, but more of a Royal Blue. Is there an "official" colour for the blue on the Scottish Flag?

Post by: Claymore on September 23, 2013, 11:36:47 PM: Given that this is currently such an emotive subject within Scotland, regardless of individual politics and leanings one way or the other, I don't feel particularly comfortable with the issue potentially being reduced to a tartan and bagpipes parody.

No doubt your submissions will be as outstanding as always but I think I'm going to sit this one out.
Title: Re: The Scottish Independence GB...It's here
Post by: Weaver on September 24, 2013, 12:28:11 AM: A reasonable concern Claymore.

All I can say is that mine certainly isn't intended to fall into that category, nor does it actually represent my personal views/hopes/fears about the politics at all.

Thanks for your understanding mate and, as always, I look forward to your entry. :)

Post by: Claymore on September 25, 2013, 05:09:15 AM: I really don't mind the banter either - 28 years of military service does that to you ;) I'm not really sure what it is... I just know that I don't have it in me to do no damned tartan tanks! :o ;D

Lassies wear kilts too ye know. ;D

Kilt, lava lava, fustanella or skirt, all describe the same basic thing, and gender differentiation
is in the mind of the beholder.

When not competing in the Inverbogie Highland Fling Festival, Big Jock MacTavish was a spot welder in the Govan Shipyards. You don't get much manlier than that! ;D

Remember that weathering aircraft is as much about taking stuff off as putting it on - not much mud at 30,000 ft.... ;)
