Yes, it's shortage of drivers, the media is to blame for this panic, the media has also been saying all supermarket shelves are empty too - not in my area. The only time I have seen empty shelves in my local morrisons is if I am there between 8:00pm - 11:00pm, and that is because people have...

There was HGV driver shortage that was well documented due to COVID a lot of retests and regular license tests were delayed which compounded the issue. With regards to fuel officially there is shortage of drivers with BP which was effecting their 200-300 stations and then the media spun it and...

Don't counter the tantrum with good coherent points, petit général has spoken like roi de la république. Us peasants have no place to argue against his majesty's delusions.

The French are angry again... :yahoo: France has accused the UK of "taking French fishing hostage" after it refused three-quarters of licence applications for small boats in British waters. The UK government gave permission to just 12 out of 47 French boats under 12 metres to operate in its...

This guy deserves a negative rating for his life.

That's your takeaway from this news. :hitwall:

Summing up the French problem in one line :cheers:

I don't know if those vaccination certs will be recognized and accepted by UK. They will only accept approved prgrammes which means only those vaccinated in UK, EU or USA.

Summer - I am going in two weeks time, fingers crossed they stay in the GO list. My biggest fear is them sliding into No GO list when I am away in Pakistan.

In an open market you have to be competitive, how on this damned earth can you justify charging someone $66 odd billions for 12 subs. Just in numbers that equates to £5.5 billion per sub. Even when you take into account service life costs etc that is an absurd amount of money for Diesel subs...

If this happens it will be great however, I very much doubt anyone in the establishment has any stomach to do it.

It's not about vaccine its the programme, or effectively the implementation of vaccine delivery that is not approved or recognized by UK. Same as other tests that are to be done at recognized labs only like in Pakistan TB tests are done at a certain lab only - same test can be done at other labs...

There is nothing racist about it. Only people vaccinated under an approved programme will be considered exempt from this requirement. This is the same as why only approved labs are used to confirm negative TB tests etc. in India and Pakistan and many other countries. Just the same hue and cry...

It is not hate from me, pure bewilderment at their erratic immature behavior, They have not learnt or adapted (manufacturing etc) like the rest of the world has. Not everyone wants to buy Cartier some people just want a functioning watch, just because you are French does not entitle you to raise...

Macron thinks of himself as a modern day Napoleon that is why there is such posturing, They have elections soon as well and he is likely to find it very difficult this year. They have had the yellow vest protests that most of the main stream media didn't report on. Their farmers were on strike...

The French need to learn that they cannot milk everyone like they used too. There is no arms deal where they have stupidly raised costs to cover for their own manufacturing shortfalls. This is only going to get worse for them. Forget defense deals even general machinery prices rocket up if the...

Nothing makes me more happy than annoying the French :cheers:

Exactly what I remembered from that time. Very naughty of them, Pakistan needs to watch them closely, more closely than India in my opinion.

I was expecting something but not something this big, the French raped India selling Rafael and were trying another fast one with the Aussies on the Submarine deal. Now they are properly screwed. I think the Aussies will buy a mixture most likely either American boats with UK systems or vice...

Yep keep eyes open on that front, the Iranians are devious they were caught on the wrong side again so started making all these noises, I would not be surprised if they become best buddies with USA to get their way in Afghanistan.
