When asked about the English flag people generally think of the Union Jack which is the flag for the UK. The white flag with the red cross shown on my logo is the official St George flag of England. The flag of the United Kingdom, known colloquially as the Union Jack, is a superposition of the flags of St George (for England), St Andrew (for Scotland) and St Patrick (for Ireland).
This superposition is quite intricate, and often drawn incorrectly.

I did try
to find out why the Welsh flag is not included on the Union Jack. I
cannot find an explanation anywhere.
The best reason I can think of is because it is a yellow flag with a
red dragon on it. Where on earth would that fit in?!
If you know
the correct reason please contact me
