Suggest you stick to a jersey with a Union Flag on rather than a Union Jack.

Cycling around with a Royal Navy ship on your cycle can be hard going ;-)

NB: The UK national flag is the Union Flag. It is only a Union Jack when flown (worn) on the
Flagstaff on the front of a Royal Navy ship.

Do you live in (or near) Hull, by any chance?

I thought it was the jack staff and at the rear ( blunt end)?

I thought so too, but I checked jdawiseman.comunion jack.htmlOpen ↗ and it
said this:

The Naval Historic Branch directly, of 3-5 Great Scotland Yard London SW1A 2HW, answered as follows:

Both and neither. A jack is a sea flag, a small flag, generally rather square in its proportions,
flown from a flagstaff rigged on the bowsprit or stem of the vessel. The earliest known reference to
a 'jack' of such a type occurs in 1633, the first reference to the Union (rather than the 'Britain'
or 'British' flag) dating from 1625 - the Union Flag and the naval jack are much the same age. The
jack was initially simply a particular instance of the Union Flag, but as the distinctive flag of
warships it quickly became an exceptionally well-known instance. Technically, all Union Jacks are
Union Flags, but not vice versa. It is a fine point and one that was much argued over, but it is
beyond question that the habit of treating the two terms as interchangeable developed early, and it
would not be difficult to multiply instances of individuals who undoubtedly did understand the
distinction nevertheless following common usage and using the term Union Jack when Union Flag is
clearly meant.

The RN website is quite right in that the Union Jack flown in the bows of commissioned ships is the
only one which really is a jack (unless you count the white-bordered pilot jack), but not quite so
on that being the only occasion when it is 'correctly' so called - because the Flag Institute is
right that the use of Union Jack to mean any Union Flag has been sanctioned both by the Admiralty
and by Parliament. Equally, it is questionable to suggest that the distinction between Union Jack
and Union Flag is of particularly recent origin - the Union Flag was also employed as a command
flag, and there was (and is!) a necessary differentiation to be made, so it is possible that both
websites could have chosen their words better, but it would also be difficult to avoid questions
like this arising without going into quite inordinate detail.

Actually not. Language evolves through usage and if you check Chambers it says "Union Jack, noun,
(also Union Flag) the national flag of the United Kingdom combining the crosses of St Andrew, St
George and St Patrick". It just goes to demonstate what a gay language we have.

On ceremonial occasions the Union Flag is indeed flown from the bows of a Royal Navy ship, when it
is called the Union Jack. The flag flown at the stern is the White Ensign. Outwith ceremonial
occasions flags are seldom flown from the bows and the White Ensign is usually flown from the main
mast, to avoid it interfering with helicopter operations.

This depends upon whether you consider a ship being alongside as a 'ceremonial occasion'. The
following is taken from www.royal-navy.mod.uk

"THE UNION FLAG - The national flag of the United Kingdom is worn as a Jack at the bow by all HM
ships in commission when alongside or when 'dressed overall'. This is the only occasion when it is
correctly called the Union Jack, although it is generally known by this name through common usage.
It is also flown during Courts Martial and is the Distinguishing Flag of an Admiral of the Fleet."

The Welsh one rocks. I'm technically Welsh (well, I was born there), so I'm tempted.

I agree, being a Cardiff boy and all that.

One could argue it both ways. Certainly this is when the crew tend to wear sailor suits and other
things that tend to see little use at sea.
