The truck is the name for the round ball on top of the flagpole. It serves to keep the flag from getting caught if wind flips it over the pole. There are a number of legends about what is inside the truck- a match to burn the flag, a razor blade to cut up the flag, a pistol cartridge for the last soldier, etc. Sorry- the ball is hollow. Nothing in there.
Absolutely nothing. Fringe on a flag is purely decorative. It serves no function, nor does it represent or imply anyting about the status of the flag except that it should not be flown outside on a flagpole. Fringed flags are used in schools, churches, courtrooms, auditoriums, parades, etc., simply because they look fancier than un-fringed flags.
One can purchase a flag holder when one goes to stores like Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Rona, Lowe's, Target, Warlmart. One can also shop online at at the sites of Amazon and eBay, etc.
What is really wrong when someone says that the flag is "upside down" is that "the flagpole is on the wrong side". The flagpole should be on the same side as the top left THICK white diagonal stripe. It doesn't matter whether the flagpole is on the left or the right of the flag, as you look at it, as long as the top white diagonal next to the flagpole is the THICK one (as opposed to the thin one).Regarding the original question, "What does an upside down union jack mean?", I always took it to mean, if flown intentionally upside down, that it was a sign of distress.Next to the flagpole, reading top to bottom, the top diagonal should be THICK white, red, THIN whiteand then the bottom diagonal should be THICK white, red, THIN white.
Commonly, schools, fire departments, police departments, post offices, and city halls, etc.
Burning the flag is probably the largest, however most people would argue that it goes beyond taboo, otherwise gay marriage, etc etc
