And here I though the crime was the handle placement
Great spot.
Fun fact: the International Red Cross get really annoyed at companies that put them in video games.
Hang on, does this mean the English flag violates the Geneva Convention?
Flag of St George mate.
Doesn’t the legislation require the wording *and* the symbol? So you could use just the wording on its own (which makes sense as it’s not a hugely unlikely combination of words) or just the symbol on its own (again, not hugely unlikely to appear incidentally), just not the two together.
It’s not a teapot. It’s actually a feeding cup for the elderly and infirm or anyone that has problems holding a cup or needs help with feeding.
Maybe it’s a Red Cross teapot? Whoever said tea wasn’t a medical necessity?
Is it not supposed to be an English flag with the long bits at the side chopped off? I always thought calling it the Red Cross was misleading anyway when it’s clearly an addition sign. Though Red Plus Symbol isn’t quite as snappy a name.
Which raises an interesting question. When does a cross become a plus?

Could be a genuine Red Cross ‘feeding cup’

It’s a bit rude to not acknowledge that a battle is brewing, and it’s steeping up to be a real showdown.
Tea is always a medical formation
That’s not a teapot, it’s an invalid feeding cup. This was for people too injured or sick to feed themselves.
“The emblem of the red cross on a white ground **AND** the words “Red Cross” or “Geneva Cross” shall not be used.”
No words=no violation
