Fun trivia!
* Tom, I will send you the photo with some caveats.
* Jeff, can you clarify exactly how the flag of St Patrick is incorporated? That's a surprise to me.
* "Limey" is indeed still in use, at least on this side of the pond, although my understanding is that it's used in a vaguely playful and teasing way, much as the word "yank" is used, i.e.: no Brit would refer to another Brit as a limey, and no American would refer to another American as a yank.
* Belize, formerly "British Honduras" has been independent of the crown for some time.
* Isle of Man is under sovereignty of the British crown but lacks the standing of Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. It is also an international tax haven, just behind although not used quite as much as the Caymans, Jersey or Guernsey.
But then I've already said too much... ;-)
Anyone feeling the need to sing "Three Lions" should now do so.
