dave,

I think one of the things that has changed since you left is we don't have much of a navy now. Thatchers and Camerons cuts. Sorry I am getting political, but I worry about the defence of the realm!

The first part is certainly true mate but as for dear old Maggie, I'm not so sure she's to blame. Were it not for her, a servicemans pay would still be below the national average

There might not have been a world today if she hadn't told a certain American president to wind his neck in!

Tbh you can't just blame the Tories, Labour have had their fair share of action with the scissors!

That's better They could have left the foremast but I'm glad the main has been cut

Cheers John

Kind regards

Understood John. For balance reasons alone.. it is good to get rid of all unnecessary weight that high above the waterline. My comments were of a pure aesthetic nature. While the foremast didn't look too bad stripped of it's aerials.. the main mast looked decidedly out of place
