Spotted an odd ensign flying from the back of a boat on the shroppie last week. It was like the red ensign, but with the flag of St George where the Union Flag would normally be. Anyone know what it is?

The Red ensign 1620-1707

That's the one! Odd thing to fly from a boat... Mind you, I also saw a flagpole flying the white ensign outside a house near Nantwich!!
