      That's why Portsmouth lost the work for more orders recently. Poor quality.

        You do a lot of work with Government departments do you?

        I'm sure the Navy will suggest a coastal town, but some MP will want the jobs in his constituency and we will end up with having to dredge a canal.

        It's called humour.

          "UK is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

          Great Britain united with Northern Ireland, so all is peachy.

            What about France building aircraft carriers?

                I know FFS, I said UK is fine because Great Britain will still be Great even if Scotland becomes independent.

                So UK is perfectly fine because UK is a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland.

                      Dunno about Scotland but a sub-forum or 'hole' if you will is long overdue for expats to post in.

                      Or why not just post on a forum based in the country you work in ?
