So you can't see 10% of it? That's pretty poor isn't it? Why is the BBC producing 10% of their output in Flash if it's dead. Answer, it's not dead. The BBC put out a Flash powered site earlier this year in fact. Look:

(Yes, I know you're not interested in it and don't miss it on your toy, but that's not the point. Companies are using it on websites still. The 'major UK sites' Sticking your head in the sand and pretend they don't exist is rather childish, don't you think)

Lots of FB games use flash. Of course you don't play them, living in a parallel universe in which Flash sites don't exist

Oh I don't doubt it, for the average, low bandwidth, non-swishy site there's no need for Flash. I would go as far to say, I don't doubt that some people are able to go through their common bookmarks and not encounter Flash. That doesn't mean that promotional sites are Flash-free though. Do you really think if Flash was dead, something as major as the Mass Effect 3 launch would be using it still?
(Guardian has some though, it was from a while back so I didn't include it. They've not updated their pages that have Flash though

)

No, you're going through your bookmarks, many of which use Flash in 2012, which you claim you've never ever missed

You seem to have got your arguments confused. It isn't about whether it 'works', its the fact that major websites, from major companies, are still using Flash. It's not dead, it's not abandoned, it's right there, right now, leaving an iOS user with a less than complete internet experience.
