Not yet, yaro, as they haven't been designed, I don't think. It will probably be a blue flag with a ring of gold stars.
The EU is not always as well respected as the UK - it depends where you are in the world. There are plenty of places that it is better it be a Brit - the USofA for starters.
I've never had to use anybody's embassy or consulate so can't compare, but I have been to embassy/ambassadorial functions in many cities around the world. The staff are, as one might expect, a mix of great experience and knowledge, time servers, 'bright young things' and any other personality type you might encounter (including complete tart in the case of the 3 secretaries who sh@gged my mate in Jerusalem). It does, as pointed out, depend on people's expectations. My brother lost his passport, cash and plane ticket in an arson attack in Grenada; our 'man' couldn't have been more helpful in giving him a temporary get you home travel document and a loan for the ticket and assistance with the police complaint.
I wonder if they'll send me 2 stickers as I have to have 2 passports for my work. I won't be applying them.
