Bugger not more work in the UK?
 
Sod this I will stop here , much easier to stop on the dole?

A new transporter plane which will secure thousands of aerospace jobs in the West was due to be officially launched in Bristol on Monday.
Airbus at Filton, South Gloucestershire, will be building the innovative plastic wings of the A400M plane.

The 20-billion euros (£14.5bn; $23.75bn) deal will commit seven European countries to the revolutionary military aircraft.

Like this?



The guests nibbled on Red Planet tartlettes and chewed Beagle 2 brochettes. It took a Mars biologist to interpret the menu but thankfully there were plenty at this event.
With the steppe of Kazakhstan off limits for many, supporters of the Beagle 2 project gathered in London to watch a live transmission of the launch.

Not really "classy" though is it. Best to wait for the Russkies or Yankies to make it habitable then conquer them. I mean, just WHO would want to go to a planet devoid of chippies or chapattis?

Would have thought the Brits had remembered the last time they made a similar mistake but apparently not. Look doomed to lose the colonies again. The great cycle of transportation.
