Potholes
They appear, get badly filled and reappear, get badly filled etc.
There are some near me that have now been filled badly about 10 times and they aren't cheap Do it properly once

Having gone to school for math, mathematical nits in general are annoying. I think editors of news articles don't do much calculating of things, and articles where two figures are given (that are supposed to go together) often have two figures that ,well....can't go together. It's distracting and avoidable.

83.916% isn't a more useful number than 84% in this sort of context. Two significant figures is accurate enough.

I'm truly sorry if I've caused you to miss any sleepDroogs, I think you mean two dimensions, not planes, but that aside you've given me a lot to think about. I've printed flags and fiddled around with them and I'm now convinced more than ever that the flag can only be 'upside down' when it is attached to a flagpole.
View attachment 128426View attachment 128429
Flag A shows the flag displayed correctly and Flag B shows it 'upside down' but, ignoring the poles for a moment, flag B is only flag A looked at from the other side - in other words they are the same. What makes A right and B wrong is the position of the flagpole relative to theflag.
The main reason a Union flag can be upside down is that the flag has 2 lanyards to attach to the halyard on the pole, they are not the same length. The short one is at the top of the flag and ensures the flag is as high as possible on the pole. If the flag is attached with thlong one at the top the flag will be upside down due to the fact that the flag has the pattern on both sides but only one shows the flag pattern in the correct way with the thin stripes in the lower left corner.

I think that's what I said but without mentioning how the flag is attached to the pole. My mental exercise is done - I'm flagging!

I get quite unreasonably annoyed by reviewers that say 'I don't know if it's any good because I haven't used it yet.' Screwfix is rife with them. WHY SAY IT????

And one star - why? because the courier was a day late. Another gem was a very good chainsaw given one star because it arrived with no petrol in it.

I didn't have the heart to tell him to put fuel in it!

Why does ME going to bed before I am knackered result in YOU being awake until 3 or 4?The worst thing you can do is go to bed before you are actually knackered.... that usually results in me being awake until 3 or 4, wishing i could go to sleep
Is this some new form of telepathy?

My nose too; although I am a hypocrite, because I have the habit of often starting answers with the word "well".

I know I know Masks are another pet hate for some.

Here is the definitive answer to @Droogs assertions regarding the correct orientation of the 'Jack' :
Union Flag: FAQs - College of Arms
Also the correct dimensions here:

And to answer the question:
Why is the cross of St Patrick offset on the Union Jack?
This was considered unacceptable by the designers and St Patrick's cross was offset to give more prominence to St Andrew's cross as it was part of the original flag, and Scotland was seen as a more senior partner in the Union.

Waking up at 3-4am needing a pee when you have only drank half a pint of cider.
Then cannot get back to sleep!!
What will the " Union Jack " look like once Scotland has gained independance and is no longer part of the union?
And loyality, no longer seems to pay because all the best offers are for new customers and companies like BT do not make switching easy because to become a new customer means you have to be disconnected for a period of time unless you have a new address and new name, you cannot just open a new account in your partners name.
