    Merionethshire - there were definitely a lot of drugs consumed when they were designing that flag

    Merionethshire

    Dancing goats worshipping the sun is a lot more interesting

    Merionethshire. A good bit of history behind it.

    derived from the anachronistic description of a banner borne by the men of Merioneth at the Battle of Agincourt, in the 17th-century poem of the same name by Michael Drayton. Here he wrote of “three goats dancing "gainst a rising sun"; the shield was blue, the sun golden and the goats white. Speculation regarding this unusual arrangement suggests a connection with Cader Idris, where goats browsed and behind which the sun rose. The flag therefore both maintains a theme associated with Merioneth for six centuries and is also a highly distinctive design – no other flag features a sun in this position and the arrangement is uniquely Merioneth.

    Buckinghamshire because it's got a swan on it that appears to be in to S&M.

    Buckinghamshire for me. Though the swan should have picked a better sized crown.

    Is the Buckinghamshire one something to so with swans being owned by the monarch maybe? Anyway I'll go for that.

    The traditional flag of Buckinghamshire features a chained swan on a bicolour of red and black. The Swan emblem dates back to Anglo-Saxon times when Buckinghamshire was known for breeding swans for the king.

    Derbyshire

    There is something distinctly Irish about it. I think it's a lovely flag

    In the interests of equality:

    The Derbyshire Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county.
    Blue is one of the traditional colours of Derbyshire and represents its many rivers and reservoirs. The green cross reflects the lushness of the county and marks its position at the centre of England. The rose is in gold to symbolise the quality of Derbyshire people and to avoid confusion with Lancashire and Yorkshire. The same rose also appears on the badge of Derbyshire County Cricket Club.

    They should have a bottle of Lea & Perrins on their flag, I'd vote for it!

    Leinster - not the best flag I've seen this competition, but marginally better of the two here.

    Kirkcudbrightshire please, the negative effect is a bit disorientating but there are just too many flags with waves.
