Maybe a few of you Brits can help out here. Does Herefordshire actually have a flag?

Check out the first few posts of this thread: http://forum.watmm.com/topic/52097-fuKCing-nice/ (reverse the K and the C)

This can't be real?? haha





Here is the supposed flag, which is now offered on Amazon and elsewhere...

Like the comment that Herefordshire "sounds like something you named your mothers basement so that you'd feel better about still living there"


Herefordshire, not Hertfordshire.

Herefordshire has a coat of arms



So I suppose the flag would be based on this.

There is no flag for Herefordshire and living in Herefordshire I have never seen one before.

However the idea that some guy on a website (with poor grammar and a lack of capital letters hehe) can randomly claim to have made it? The only people accepting it as real are, it seems, two rubbish websites selling cheap flags and fridge magnets based upon the exact page taken off wikipedia.

Ah yes, apologies, so it is! Hertfordshire, Herefordshire.... It's all the Midlands really, so I guess my confusion can be excused...

This may be true, but it is North of London, thus in the Midlands.
