    Back in 82 I was in America with my Grandparents and we went to watch a Live TV show called the Bob Braun Show and they started talking about the upcoming Falklands crisis.On the show they had a fortune teller for the use of a better word,and she proudly announced that nothing would happen it would all be settled.(Wrong)
    My Grandad was a desert Rat who fought in North Africa for the whole time WW2 was being fought in that area,then went in Italy where thay worked thier way up Italy until they got held up at Cassino.
    Before they coukd ask the psyic what would happen,they said actually we have some people from England here and swung the cameras round on us,My Grandad said go and get it back what ever the cost.I surprised them by saying that the Falklands is sitting on one of the biggest untapped oil wells in the world,and the Goverment at the time were more concerned by the oil than the people on the islands.
    Yes they are British Citizens and yes we should have gone,but was there a hidden reason for going was in just about being a British subject?
