Not a great idea, no. We only ended up with them at all because HMG displayed their usual brilliance at procurement and it would cost more to cancel them then to have them built. If Boy George had had his way then we would no longer have a navy. Thankfully HMG was sabotaged by its own incompetence.

Merry Christmas btw :xmaspressie: :drinkingwine: :britflag:

If they'd bought aircraft as well there'd be no money left to repair the leaking carrier :rofl:

I think it is good that there are 24 families together. Near us we have one family, housed and sponsored by a local charity. There will be another family in six months time. They have no Arabic interpreter, so the EFL teachers are using google translate. It must be very lonely for them, despite all the goodwill from the local community.
