Re: armed forces down to 1930 level

Guys, I guess you will like the new idea of perhaps reintroducing National Service :shock: ! Personally I don't rate draftees who don't have enough time to get properly trained before being sent to the (any) front.

What with the housing shortage, over full schools, over loaded NHS, over burdened Police and fire Services, what better excuse to send a million citizens overseas is there than to have a war ?

Re: That seems to be Some Kind of Climate you are having in Europe!

Nevertheless the spuds that I planted on the 6th of Dec are already knee high and I'm looking for two crops this year ! The storm winds are playing havoc with the trees that we planted and...

Re: Busy night !

Re: Busy night !
