It’s not going to be up long , but it’s a later 4001 that’s been hacked , rebuilt , and painted with a Union Jack , asking price is $1000 Cdn , cheap!

To be honest , I think I’d prefer an old beat to crap hack job Union Jack over a fresh one. It’s the cheapest local one I’ve seen in years.

I had mentioned this ad to several friends that were either looking for a 4001 or unable to walk by a bargain , but it was quickly scooped up by another friend.
Halifax is not a big city.
Not often you see a Ric relatively intact for $1000 Cdn. It’s off to a great home too.

They got the Union Jack the right way round, which is something most Brit Nats struggle with. You have a 50% of getting it right yet they display upside down UJs 90% of the time.


I didn't realise this level of fondness for the commonwealth could still be found in remote areas of Canada!

In Nova Scotia there’s still a big Irish/Scottish thing , and a big German influence on the South Shore.
And despite the Great Expulsion of 1755 there’s still some Acadians around.
Today Arabic is the second largest spoken language though …

Presumably those Irish and Scots would be in no hurry to buy anything with a UJ on it, given the history of all that.

Most seem to have buried the anti English bit , and the Catholics seem ok about the Protestants here too .

Heck even the Campbells are accepted.

Sounds far more civilised than here!  ;D


I'm nominally reading John Prebble's 'Culloden' and it puts to bed any idea that any part of that era of history is cut and dry or easily summarised.

Last I heard, the Union Jack has a white background, not a yellowish cream one. But maybe someone was trying to emulate the Spare'e fetching desert fox tone of yore? What do I know.
