    That is me, that is. 😳
    .
    I am stuck with faffing with a word templated ( 🙄 ) document from a colleague that I need to add some way of indicating Scottish or England & Wales. The ‘best’ I can come up with is like this.
    .
    Any suggestions…and no I am not allowed to get rid of it from Word, as (words) need to be editable from this template…

    That’s a bloke with sacred Hindu symbol tattooed on his manly chest waving to his mates.

    I like the idea of the diagonal split of the flags, but then the thistle, rose and daffodil idea might be a little less nationalist.

    You could just extract the relevant parts from the Union Flag which would simplify things:

    It’s a bit messy having different sized icons.

    Can you use an outline map of the British Isles with the relevant England/Scotland/Wales bits filled in? Might need colour to work well though.

    (flash, I was trying so hard to be equitable with my lazy, cheap stereotyping – where did I go wrong ? 🙁 )

    Can you not just write the names of the relevant countries?

    I said that. Apparently it looked unbalanced to have two names vs one, and Sco or Wal/Eng didn’t cut it either….
    My next bid was to pay a proper designer to sort the whole template out properly…apparently that costs… 😉

    OK, how about a big version of something like this

    as background with one (maybe transparent ?) text box over scotland and then another over E&W ?

    Not sure how Scotland and England match the requirements in the text, Wales is the imperial measurement of land mass/area, and Belgium the metric equivalent.
