Flagging standards

The graphic above the excellent item “Buses faring badly” (Lives, July) has the Union flag upside down. (The wider diagonal white line of St Andrew’s Cross should be “dominant,” above the thin red diagonal in the upper quadrant nearer the flagstaff.) To sailors (and others) this is a signal of distress.

But then I thought “how clever!”, since the article relates distress at the state of UK buses and their fares. A good graphic after all.
