yeah its still called the union jack, or the union flag either way
"the national flag of the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories is the Union Flag, which may also be called the Union Jack."

Only in the same way that people refer to Trivial Pursuits, or to going to Tescos.
Notice that the phrasing used states that it is called the Union Flag, but that it 'may also' be called the Union Jack. What Wikipedia doesn't say is that it may be called the Union Jack by ignorant pricks.

Hope this helps.

The only thing worse than an ignorant prick
is a self righteous one who won't accept when he's wrong.

What, wrong about not being culturally British?
thanks Q dog, thanks for all the time you've spent being me.

It means a lot.

because that's not what you said
you said "I'm not British, I'm Scottish."

which is clearly wrong, our school system let you down though, not your fault

Actually Q dog, I was schooled in Scotland, which has the better educational system, thanks for taking an interest.
Plus, 'British' has two meanings- one geographical and the other cultural, as does Scottish. I was using the cultural meaning.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, but we paid for it for you

Nope.
Wrong there. Especially considering it was Aberdeenshire, which in the 80s was at the peak of its (still considerable) oil wealth, hence local and income tax receipts being rather high.

You are from Britain though, soz.
Though I do get what you mean when you distinguish between culturally British and British by geography.

I know where I'm from thanks, but my initial 'Scottish not British' declaration was one of cultural identity.
