Colours of the Union Jack
| The national flag of the United Kingdom consists
of three heraldic crosses: |
 |
| The cross of St George, patron saint of England since
the 1270s, is a red cross on a white
background. It was the national flag of England until James I
succeeded to the throne in 1603, after which it was combined in 1606
with the crosses of St. Andrew and St. Patrick. |
 |
| The cross saltire of St Andrew, patron saint
of Scotland, is a diagonal white cross on a blue background. |
 |
| The cross saltire of St Patrick, patron saint
of Ireland, is a diagonal red cross
on a white background. This was combined with the previous
Union Flag of St George and St Andrew, after the Act of Union of
Ireland with England (and Wales) and Scotland on 1 January 1801,
to create the Union Flag that has been flown ever since. |
 |
The Welsh dragon does not appear on the Union Flag. This is because
when the first Union Flag was created in 1606, the Principality of Wales
by that time was already united with England and was no longer a separate
principality.
Colours of the U.S. flag
 In
the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Red represents
valour and hardiness, while blue signifies
justice, perseverance, and vigilance. The stars represent the heavens
and all the good that people strive for, while the stripes emulate the
sun's rays.
Warning
Jenny Joseph (1932-)
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go,
and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
I Will Wear Purple
Joyce E Vranich ©1996
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple,
Smoke a cigar, spit at the cat.
I might decide to dance on the table,
Tell off-color jokes, what do you think about that?
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple.
Ride a big hog, get a tattoo.
How about if I pierce my navel,
Or some other part I couldn't tell you.
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple.
Streak through the church on a Sunday at noon.
Then as they leave I'll stand in my glory,
Thank them for coming, come back again soon.
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple.
Do all the things they said not to do.
For then it won't matter, they'll think I'm unstable.
I'll give them the finger and say, "to Hell with you".
Don't wait to grow old, why not wear purple?
