| Please consider changing the following titles of these parts:
to: "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4 with Blue, Red and Yellow Pennants Bunting Pattern"
to: "Door 1 x 4 x 5 Train Right with Pennants Bunting Pattern (Sticker)
- Set 41034"
to: "Panel 1 x 6 x 5 with String of Magenta and Medium Azure Pennants Bunting
with White Dots Pattern (Sticker) - Set 41132"
(bold to show change)
Reason: Outside of North America English, the word 'bunting' is used
for 'pennants'. Pennants are actually different and are used as a nautical
term for the signalling flags on ships, however, I presume North American English
(Canada and USA) have adopted this the term for festive flags also. Those outside
US/Canada may not find these parts when searching for bunting.

Actually 'pennant' is not the correct term at all. In US-English a pennant
is either a nautical flag or a championship flag (as in a professional baseball
league). The word bunting is correct and in the Merriam-Webster dictionary (so
definitely part of US-English) bunting is defined as "a lightweight loosely woven
fabric used chiefly for flags and festive decorations".
