When a plane replies to you, you know it's weird.
What makes this even more funnier is that India has a STRICT flag code , so even if Hammond painted the right flag , it would have gone down horribly.

Surely it doesn't matter since it's a double sided flag? It looks correct when you look at it from the outside. By the way, I love your profile picture. :)

No; the Union Jack's diagonal stripes, as you know, are not centred along the diagonal, they're to one side. The direction then ends up being clockwise or anticlockwise. If the flagpole is on the left of the flag, the direction is anticlockwise; and the reverse for if the pole is on the right. James' was the other way round. It's better to explain with a diagram. Also, thank you. It was drawn by my girlfriend.

An Aga is a big wood/oil burning iron fire/cooker. The manufacturer who makes them is called Aga. They're usually found in old British country houses and are used to heat water, the house and to cook food.
