the British flag is symetrical. ie, no up no down side.
Can some one explain how I can identify if the British flag is
waving properly? >>

If you look at the diagonal white with red stripes, the left end (staff end)
has white on the top and red on the bottom. The right end (free end) has red
on top and white on the bottom. If you attach the flag to the halyard upside
down, this will be reversed, with red on top, on the end closest to the staff.
Our flag is much easier to get right, but people still display it wrong!
