Erm, it is a cartoon and drawn with no pretensions to accuracy. I don't think we are supposed to query it literally - after all, do we then query all of Giles drawings (he did draw the union FLAG enough times...)

Judging by the accuracy of the bus, I suppose we can cut them some slack on the Jack. :wink:

Yup, never seen a Beefeater drive a London bus with loads of police as passengers... :lol:

Isn't it only a Jack if it is on a ship?

That's correct. Unless know otherwise it should be called the Union Flag.

It is the Union Jack through common parlance for nearly 100 years, of course if you are older than that...

Ah! but the bus is cariacture and the flag cannot be given that designation! So grump.
