At least the navy has better weather for a battle with fishing boats than the first Cod war I was involved in. Iceland for Christmas and new year 1978 Every wave that came over our bows froze as it hit the deck. And our guys were fishing in it!!

at least it is closer than the Falklands!! and the opposition is more inept than the Argies - unless they call in the Foreign Legion.

I had a school mate, joined the Marines, went AWOL to the Foreign Legion, returned, Jailed, then last I knew he was apparently SBS!!

I watched the first one on the news as a youngster. There was all sorts of ramming and collisions from what I remember. Guessing the new navy boats won't be tough enough for ramming and barging?

Simon beat me to it.  Power is not a problem for the Islands and all the pathetic French are doing is damaging their own reputation and as I have said before just check your labels when buying produce. My local village shop sell buggerettes and I pruchased a packet thinking they would be British made but no, imported from France and I did inform the owner...who is a friend...and he was not aware.  I personally have not knowingly purchased anyhting French since the lamb wars which many of you will have no knowledge of but that was again the mardy French attacking our lorries at the ports and setting some on fire.   

Stick two fingers up to them and remind them of the war and the English arrows.

well that about sums it up about the french and EU lounge lizards

Four months into Brexit and the French are spitting their dummy out already. Why am I not surprised? 
Because the French are our biggest enemy, always have been and always will be.

I would love to see Marie Le Pen get in next time around, that would really throw the mardy French cat in amongst the pigeons under the Eiffel.

i think it will come to pass........

😆:lol: Madame Jupiter is indisposed at this time, she is writing the story of her intrepid husbands pursuits, and heroic exploits in the war against the gilet jeunes 😐
