IS BUFFY WELSH?
Craig Bunting
In one episode Buffy and some guys drink too much beer [a good thing] and
turn in to neanderthals. In one scene Zander is serving behind a bar, in
the background behind the bar can clearly be seen the Welsh Flag.
For those who don't kow it, a while upper half, green lower half with a big
red dragon in the middle of the flag.
I have to know why it is there. There is a reason for everything on a set
and there will be a reason why that flag is there.
I have to know, my housemates [who are welsh] are begging me to find out.
All answers to mene...@bigfoot.com for my convenience.

If it was in the bar then maybe the Bar's Owner was suppose to be Welsh.
Other then that I would just guess that it was for looks.

Not only do we have the oldest flag in Europe, we Welsh also have the
coolest flag in the World.
As the song says, "every day when I wake up, I thank the Lord I'm
Welsh".

Probably Melrose in LA. I think there is more Union Jack clothing where
I live than in the UK.

Probably. After its brief rehabilitation at the hands of the Britpop
phenomenon, use of the Union Jack as a motif is once again looked on here
as slightly suspect, with possible overtones of ugly nationalism.
Except, bizarrely, on underwear...

This isn't the place, so I'll just note that patriotism is not the same as
nationalism.
