If all the Welsh b3tans are complaining that they're not includedyou should suspect that you're wrong really.
The Union Jack was redrawn 200 years ago to include the following:
St. George's cross - a red cross on white to show England
St. Andrew's cross - a white cross on blue background to show Scotland
/EDIT: St. Patrick's cross - a diagonal red on white background to show the then subjugated Ireland, so now by inference the six counties.
St David is not included, as his flag is a YELLOW cross on blue - not black as I'd previously typed.
Yup, I fecked it up first go! :)
That mrflag.com is no help though. >

Maybe....maybe, the addition of the black to the union flag, is not just to represent the multi-cultures in the UK, but also to keep the welsh happy as the black is on The St Davids Cross.

according to mrflagSt David's cross is a yellow cross on blue background tho - so unless yellow gets put in they're still getting shafted.
And for the record, I think the welsh dragon is very cool - and a nice counterpoint to St George! :)
