If there's an insight that tells Dairy Crest "British" sells more than "English" then I'm fine with the change. http://www.dshott.co.uk/milk_doorstop.html Hi, we should support exported goods, not boycott them.

]]> Comment on What Flag is Fair to Northern Ireland? by Highlander http://www.fairflags.org.uk/blog/?p=100&cpage=1#comment-2094 Highlander Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:06:56 +0000 http://fairflags.org.uk/blog/?p=100#comment-2094 As flags are so divisive in NI, there is never going to be a solution as to what is correct for food packaging so it should just be left at 'produce of Northern Ireland'. This distingushes the product as coming from the six counties that comprise NI. Ulster can include products from a further 3 counties and could be offensive to people from both sides of the divide. Rab above is an example of the very people he calls uneducated, ignorant and bigoted. The flag of Ulster is definitely not the Union Flag just as Ulster is definitely not a country. In your efforts at political correctness, you will only succeed in becoming bogged down by becoming involved in the politics of NI.

I personally would reccomend that you change the logo picture to a the flag of England (thats the Cross of Saint George) or changing the company name to British instead. Yours Sincerly George Ireland. I’m having trouble sending an E-mail to these people. can anyone do this for me?

The national flag of the UK is the Union flag (a combination of St Andrew/St Patrick/St George flags). The rest (Northern Ireland/Ulster flags etc..) are regional national flags.
