   I fully understand why the livery colours applied to this ‘new’ flag.
   ‘When I were a lad’, the flag had a white background and I continue to fly the ‘old’ version where I now live, in Herefordshire (for which two different flags are generally available, neither of which are registered)

     Thank you, John! I was wondering about this. I think white would probably be better than yellow— the yellow seems a little harsh combined with that red. I’d probably still by flying the white one too, seeing as how it was first. I wonder why the felt the need to change it.

   I agree with John. The “proper” flag when I were a lad had a white background. However, I have conceded to officialdom and daily fly the new one. There is also an attractive 3 rose version in a zig-zag formation – but no-one seems to know its provenance.

     I believe the 3 rose zig-zag version you’re referring to is derived from the coat of arms of the county council

   This is a bit slow for a reply but just wanted to say that the last time I flew the old flag with the white background I was aked why was I flying the flag of Japan! With the yellow background, no confusion.
