Gazing out of my window a couple of days ago I was met with this slightly unusual sight...a whole row of military vehicles lined up in the blazing sun. What struck me was that they dont/didnt look like British Soldiers either. Is it an invasion force??..or are they NATO guys on manouevres?? As you can see in the picture a solitary bewildered Dovorian looks on..well ermmm bewildered, much as I was myself.

Paul, I was along there that day but didn`t bother with a picture. They were all left hand drive vehicle`s and maybe French numberplate`s. They were there for a good hour at least, then all drove off, en masse.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

I think he pays for his sugar at Morrissons Keith. Can't imagine our Fuhrer taking it, oh no, that wouldn't do.

I see the Beeb pushed out the boat on pronouncing President Sarkoz's name yesterday. In one report they used four pronounciations! Back to the good old days of Angela Rippon and Ayatollah Khomeini methinks.

Vic - if that were to be the case and seeing they are French - then we should send in the local Cadet Forces to re-capture the Port. Just the ACF will do, no need to disturb the other cadets.

Brian, they would want to fight, the French (like the Italians who also run) just prefer to surrender. I'd send in the boy scouts personally. A few cries of "dib dib dob" would send the Frenchies scurrying for their white flags.
