James you are correct about whaling stations reguarding the falkland islands. but we have moved out to South Georgia some 400nm further south. the island is the last solid bit of ground before hitting the south pole.
there are three major whaling stations on the island all within 20 miles rad of each other. those being Gritviken,Stromness,Leith. National Geographic have made a documentry on the islands , showing the whaling stations a full speed.( if anyone has a copy please give details of the video so that i may be able to order one ).
Also this is the island that shackleton sailed to when his ship was crushed in ice. i do have a BW photo of the grave but would have to dig it out.
Garry you need to be taked out back and shot for that joke. i was crying laughing.

He must have a few left, and maybe a strait jacket too - it looks as though some here might need them!
