union jack tie needed (west of scotland)

Union Jack tie? A Union Jack is a British flag flown aboard a ship, in any other context, it's a Union FLAG.

Unless the intended target for the tie, was to be tied to a ships mast? :eek:

That may be true if you still live in the late 1800's

The flag is officially known as the 'Union Jack' and has been since the early 1900's whether it is flown at sea or on land

I don't live in the 1800's, but then you misquote yourself, and say 1900's. Name your sources. Or do you just MAKE STUFF UP!

Micky, I know you hate being proved wrong....like I have done to you on a coupel of ocassions!

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".
