Heart of Darkness Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Has pulled out of NATO exercises and will be heading up the Firth of Forth to Rosyth, as some problems have been discovered and will need fixing!! Would it be possible for updates on the expected day & time from people in the know, when it's meant to be passing the Edinburgh area. I would love to go down to Cramond and have a look. Thanks.

Nice try, Ivan, but you don't fool us. We've had our fair share of Russian submarine commander shenanigans on kickback, so your cunning attempt at teasing intelligence on British naval manoeuvres out of us is doomed to failure.

British politicians always try to do things on the cheap from the outset, it invariably fails, and the spend ends up alot more than it would have been if things were done correctly in the first place.
