or maybe its the defence spending cuts - they're grounding it earlier than expected  :y

Dear oh dear (and it probably will be). What an unfortunate name, given the circumstances.

ironically, i heard on the radio the tug used to pull it free The Anglican Prince from Stornoway is being taken out of service next year due to govt cuts....one of only 3 tugs of that size in the UK (stornoway, lands end and devon)  :o

so if Capt Magoo plans anymore trips in his sub - he'd better be tootling around the South Coast  :y
