Okay Shan, where shall we pick you up? Will you fly to London? Or to Birmingham? Bristol?

I think i`ll fly to Birminham (in the Midlands) anyway to visit my aunt. She`s German, but she`s living one hour away from Birmingham with her husband. The village she lives in is called Bishop`s Frome, a very tiny, little village still looking like "good old England". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I can`t go on a trip to England without visiting her! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
20 minutes away from Bishop`s Frome is Worcester , where the famous "Worcester Sauce" comes from.

This is the "Union Jack", the flag of Great Britain.
"The Union Jack is a combination (union) of the flags of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick. The flag of St George is white with a red cross. [Linked Image] The flag of St Andrew is blue with a white diagonal cross [Linked Image] and the flag of St Patrick is white with a red diagonal cross. [Linked Image]
The flag is normally called the Union Jack because it represents a union of countries — England, Ireland, and Scotland and Wales (although the current flag does not include a flag from the latter*).
*The national flag of Wales is a red dragon on a background of white and green. Wales is not represented in the Union Flag because when the first version of the flag appeared Wales was already united with England, but the Welsh flag is in widespread use throughout that country."
