    Although, Merionethshire ceased to exist in 1974 and that flag was adopted in 2015 :p

    Surprised there aren't arrows on it too, they've slung everything else at it!

    SCENE ONE: an olde time flag shop, interior. Customer enters...

    "Hi! Got any unique flags left?"
    "Just these two, but they're both ex display. This one is stained and this one has a bad tear in it"
    "Could you cut the two good halves out and sew them together?"
    "Ummm... yeah"
    "Great. Can you make sure the two halves line up nicely?"
    "Errrr.... sure...."


    But they must be over 800 years old and come from the Holy Roman Empire ;)

    "It was selected by readers of Scilly News in a 2002 vote and then registered with the Flag Institute as the flag of the islands"

    thats enough to disqualify the silly flag for me

    Thank the Lord!

    And it looks even better in a real photo.

    Those who voted Connacht deserve a two-tournament ban :)
