Not sure if in right place but, I received an advertising leaflet/flyer this morning. May be of interest.

Do they do benches for a proper railway?

Sorry to say no

Just GWR benches.

Shame really because if they did, they would be a great seller

Great that they are a proud British company, but a shame that the Union flag is the wrong way around.

If they are made in England shouldn't it have just the cross of St George?
Personally I am glad we still have the Union Flag, although many people get in up side down, one of the first things we learned in the Boy Scouts was which way up (oh simple happy days).

The only thing I can see that is wrong is the bottom RH corner red stripe
is in the wrong place. It should be on the upper edge of the white stripe
and not the lower edge

Having another look, 3 of the red diagonals are wrong, and the top left one is OK. I'll email them and let them know.

The benches look great though. I wonder how many will be known as 'fakes' in years to come when their old customers pass away and other folk buy them, not realising that they aren't original.

Shouldn't hijack this thread but.

Actually when you look in detail there is no way this flag is correct even upside down

Try this link for an explanation.

Probably an honest mistake but unforgivable. Sorry to be so passionate.
