Happy anniversary holidays to our British friends!

[Felix DiCestria]

I'm sure someone will accuse me of having a cavalier attitude...

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

You can shoot at Scotland, nobody will mind.

Rude.

Im not sure it really matters whether your a monarchist or like me don't really care for them and support an elected parliament.
Its a great excuse for a good old fashioned knees up and a chance to appreciate where we live.
The media love to bash our Islands but we enjoy freedom (especially of speech) that many other country's could only dream of.

I'm sure Julian Assange would appreciate it if it was the case!

This has turned political rather quickly, which was not my intention. I perceived the anniversary as the Brits having a huge party, and had hoped for everyone to enjoy the weekend (be it four, three or just two days, wherever you live), and maybe get some screenshots. Let's get along nicely, despite different opinions on monarchy, Brexit, Scottish independence and anything else. Although, if the forum allows civilized discussion about such topics, then why not, but I think it would be even more off topic than this thread might already be.

More ship skins should have their pattern continue underneath

A macOS salute.

Dont worry mate its our British gallows humor, we are having a party, even our new look (normally dodgy) Cricket team are getting in on the act.

Back on the carrier, 1000ly later:

Noticed in the underside pic the flag is mirrored on each side rather than displaying the full flag correctly. Top is right though (I think!)

I haven’t made my mind up about whether I want my ship to look like the flag is wrapped around it or I want it to look like a ship shaped piece of the flag.

As a compromise how about more flags for more ships.

Down at the bottom.

So your source is a single sentence about a poll run by an anti-monarchy organisation?

FYI:

Platinum Jubilee: where does public opinion stand on the monarchy? | YouGov

With the Jubilee marking 70 years on the throne for the Queen, YouGov looks at the British public’s attitude to the monarchy: past, present and future

"... While the majority of Britons have consistently been in favour of continuing the monarchy, there has been a decline over the last decade, from a high of 75% in favour of a monarchy in July 2012, to 62% now. "

I have the Union flag skin for the Viper too but don't have a Viper with me on the carrier. IIRC the viper one is slightly off-set to one side which is annoying because it's clearly intended to be central, the Cobra one avoids that issue (on top) by putting the flag at a jaunty angle, I like it

Happy Celebration to all of you...

55% in Wales,
45% in Scotland.
Suggesting England's a bit higher than that 62%.
Although in my experience it's a split of 100% support vs 0% support depending if someone is above or below the age of 50
