    This shift in conversation is rather amusing. Reminds me of the "discussion" I had with someone at a recent convention I attended. How do you spell harbor, color, defense, maneuver, etc., etc. and so fourth (yes, I know it's forth).

    I'm currently bi-lingual: American-English and Chicagoese. Sue and I are going to learn British-English before our visit to the U.K.

    Here is an enjoyable video on the difference between U.K., Great Britain, and England.

    Very enjoyable, watched both ( U.K., Great Britain, England and the U.S.) even though it gave me a headache trying to keep up with his speed talking (guess I've been away from Chicago too long).
    Thanks Eric

    Thanks Rob,

    Pluton is done and dusted replacing The Spanish Neptuno.
    Scipion , HMS Implacable now just needs rigging, HMS BelleIsle needs spars and rigging, HMS Scipion needs anther Temeraire model, if I can get another spare may make the French ship Pluton also.... When will it end :)

    I did not manage to post the cards on yesterday Chris, but we are coming down to Bristol on Friday, so I will drop them through your letter box on the way to Eileen's Neice's.
    As to when will it end. When the supply of ships finally dries up.
    I was looking for three to cut up for sinking hulls today and could not get one of each rate at any store I looked at. Some had all three, but not at reasonable prices.

    I had a look at Amazon Chris, and they seem to be farming out a lot of their products. I did not want to cop for three lots of postage, many of which were around Ł4. However, Northumbria seems a good bet. Can't imagine why they fell off my Radar.
    Thanks for the tip off.
    Rob.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Which reminds me, someday I have to get the entire Potential Reprint List posted... just the numbers on SGN102, 104 and 105 are positively jaw-dropping.
