'cut the flag in the wrong place'?That explanation doesn't work. There's only one part of the Cross of St George where a horizontal red stripe meets a vertical red stripe, and that's in the middle. There's no way that flag is just the result of cutting it in the wrong place.

I know, that's what I thought.I can't work out how it could possibly have happened by accident.

Looking carefully at the diagonals in the photo,it appears that the ends at the left and right edges of the flag should be at the corners, and the ends at the top and bottom should be at the middle. If it was stitched together from horizontal thirds, then they've put the bottom third at the top and the top third at the bottom.

I have a theory,that it was cut from cloth used for more than just flags. If they print union jack patterned fabric for general use, with a repeating pattern that has the diagonals always meeting where verticals and horizontals cross, then you'd also have verticals and horizontals crossing without diagonals meeting, despite there being no such part of a union jack.
