However we clearly are only number 2 in the world. Place 1 goes to Czech: -

I do seem to remember the old man was involved in the fledgling transgender pink chocolate sector in the '80s. Never made much money from it.

try and see the programme on operation black buck.

Anyone else watch the programme about the last Vulcan with (professional thicko) Guy Martin last night? A repeat, but I missed it the first time.

A great example of British engineering, and who doesn't love the Vulcan. But this came out of a period where Britain was desperately hanging onto the idea that it was still a major world power by having nuclear weapons; even though the USSR and USA had already moved onto missiles we were stuck with bombers with crews on a 2 minute standby. And obviously we ultimately ended up buying American.

If you love the Vulcan try and see the programme on operation black buck.

But you seem so unhappy. Passive aggressive comments and then the miserable comments. If you are generally happy then my apologises but going by your comments it seems that you are a little sad.

I'm just enjoying the show, so don't worry about me. Do make sure you're not projecting, what with all your little passive aggressive comments .

The UK is still part of Europe and has no plans to leave.

However I think it is very bad news. EIB will end up getting their money back and loads more. Why did the UK let them get a slice of the pie? Disgrace.

The UK has had way too much foreign investment over recent years. UK train passengers pay over the odds so that the owners, mostly European governments, can put the money into their own rail networks.

Well done the EU for tucking us up for so many years. However enough is enough.

That's the spirit, vote Corbyn for renationalisation of the railways!

[woohoo]

I'm not miserable, I'm enjoying this immensely. It's the Brexiters who seem miserable.

But think back to the 2012 Olympics. I was cynical about it beforehand but it turned out to be a remarkable projection of the cultural influence of the UK. The UK is now a laughing stock, and while optimism such as yours can sometimes be an admirable trait, right now it looks like your head is stuck in the sand. Much better to take a deep breath, re-evaluate the situation and come up with a plan to make the best of things.

Why is it the Chinese and the French who will build Hinkley thingy?

The French are highly experienced in nuclear power, they have loads of nuclear power plants, and at the time HPC was getting selected the European high pressure reactor was looking good. Trouble is its too complex, and the Helsinki and Breast reactors are years over budget and time. (Which is why HPC is taking so long, the French don't want to build it because they are already up to their necks in tulip). We have the Chinese involvement because it's great kudos for them, and making them happy is good for other strategic business.

Chinese safety record is so good of course. They would never use inflammable cladding in their tower blocks.

Inflammable cladding is an attribute of class war, not cretinism.

[BrilloPad]

Because of the risks involved in building a nuclear power station, using a workforce that is 52% cretin.
