Er...the Americans also do this, as do the Canadians (as has been mentioned) and I'm sure if you think about it alot of other countries do so too. Of course selective memory/thinking is great though. Isn't it?

Not really....I think you'll find that with the majority of canadian people/americans who wear their national flag is as much a result of the clothing manufactores having it as a logo/design (i.e. Tommy Hilfigher/ Company that has canadian maple on backpacks...name escapes me) as it is a deliberate attempt to pimp ones nationality...if that was the case, half the 14 year old overly faked tanned teenie bopper girls on Grafton street would be canadian/american...merely a result of them being some of the largest manufacters in the world selling those cloths..where as the Union Jacks all over the likes of Ibiza and simular sh!t holes, hanging union Jacks outside every building from accomidation, to the local "Rose and Crown" pub, to the "Bull Dog" resteraunt is a very deliberate attempt to inflict the nationality on the locals. It is very insulting and probably intimidating to the locals, and i am certain it wouldn't go down to well if your local area became a holiday destenation for british/germans/americans or any nationality. My point was that it was distastefull, not to have a particular dig at the British, i was merely pointing out that they do it the most, and in the most vulgar manor, as is the reason i said they are not famous for their Respect for foreign cultures. Every nationality does it to an extent, including the Irish, Americans, Canadians or whoever...but nobody does it with such disregard and disrespect as the British, possibly due to a "empire syndrom", they feel the need to "invade" rather than "visit".
Besides...i did say it was a matter of taste....that just happens to be mine on the subject :rolleyes:

I'd shag em.
Swimsuits look terrible tbh..And i think the wearing of the flag that blatantly at anything other than sporting event/music festival is pretty crass.
There is a Canadian brand Roots that has the maple leaf as its logo...not mad on that but at least its not as obscenely large as he union jack always is..
