Woman:   Dennis! There's some lovely filth down 'ere! (noticing Arthur) Oh! 'Ow'd'ja do?
Arthur: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that?
Woman: King of the 'oo?
Arthur: King of the Britons.
Woman: 'Oo are the Britons?
Arthur: Well we all are! We are all Britons! And I am your king.
Woman: I didn't know we 'ad a king! I thought we were autonomous collective.
Man:     (mad) You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
Woman: There you go, bringing class into it again...
Man:     That's what it's all about! If only people would--
Arthur: Please, *please*, good people, I am in haste! WHO lives in that castle?
Woman: No one lives there.
Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Woman: We don't have a lord!
Arthur: (spurised) What??
Man:     I *told* you! We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week--
Arthur: (uninterested) Yes...
Man:     But all the decisions *of* that officer 'ave to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting--
Arthur: (perturbed) Yes I see!
Man:     By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs--
Arthur: (mad) Be quiet!
Man:     But by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major--
Arthur: (very angry) BE QUIET!   I *order* you to be quiet!
Woman:   "Order", eh, 'oo does 'e think 'e is?
Arthur: I am your king!
Woman:   Well I didn't vote for you!

Nice flag, but would Uncle Joe have allowed such an obvious spelling mistake?

Bungle · « **Reply #22 on:** January 25, 2009, 11:44:35 AM »

The spelling, use of capitals, positioning of wording are taken from a real union banner.

The original was almost black with age and the lettering wasn't very clear, so I ripped the embroidered bits off and reproduced it as close as I could. The letters should rise and fall a bit and look a bit more hand cut out, but the spelling of Yorkshire and class is as per the original.

I guess the Russian workers weren't used to our alphabet.

I have been working on a few for the competition at GWP, but I guess I will miss the deadline as the site is offline. The hardest bit was getting the flag effect.

Now chaps...I know this a long shot...

But how about slicing some of those militia greens in half, sculpting a Kilt and replacing the tin helmets with glengarrys or balmorals??

Perfect for the Scottish republican forces which no doubt are small and lacking somewhat in equipment, but keen to maintain their new independance!

Go on...you know you'd love to!!
