algy Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Going to to be a bit of an anorak 'again', here is a site displaying and having animated world merchant navy shipping company flags to download, just for you the sailing fraternity amongst us, (asperity). When on site scroll the page as the first line of flags don't download. http://merch.no-ip.biz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 What is the plural of 'anorak' is it 'anoraks', 'anori' or 'anarackie' Only kidding Algy as I think your little flag avatar is cute.. and it reminds me of those little paper flags we used to buy as kids on holiday in wales to put on our sandcastles. As Harry would say... 'happy days' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Dizz, it isn't the fact that they are 'cute, colourful flags' each one represents a shipping company that has a massive amount of history to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Most countries flags (including the UK) are "flags of convenience" these days. Even Luxembourg has a shipping registry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I had no idea there were so many shops that had their own flag. Just saw this shopping company flag, on me way to Specsavers. www.virginmedia.com/yourlocal/banksy.php?ssid=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 How good is that though ... I wish that Banksy chap would come and paint something on my walls... he does some fantastic pieces of 'work'. I wish I was that artisitic and imaginative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
