lucky no one was injured or worse.
I can understand the Frenchies being upset at our guys hoovering up the scallops before they are allowed to fish them.
I blame it on a lack of common rules. Someone ought to be ashamed
-
Nah, let them beat the bejesus out of each other :)
-
Never eaten a scallop. :-\

Your not missing anything, gave up eating Shell Fish years ago, just decided wasnt for me anymore ....Now King Prawn, Scampi and Lobster thats a difirent story :y

Waterloo on water. :)
-
British fishermen in port busy fitting battering rams to the bows of their boats as we speak :D ;D
-
The Navy should be sent out to use the French boats for target practice. :)

Well... We share an aircraft carrier with the Fre... Oh wait a minute, that's not going to work ::)
-
We have our own aircraft carrier now. Not sure if its carrying aircraft yet though. ;D
Anyway, its the French, they will wave the white flag if someone in a rowing boat points an airgun at them. :D

Yep. Blockades are their favourite negotiating tactic. If farmers, fishermen, taxi drivers, etc., have an axe to grind they bring Paris to a standstill, and if that doesn't work, they blockade Calais and bring everything to a standstill.
Got to admire them, in a left wing kind of way.
-
That's because they know the French government will cave in and give them what they want rather than face them down.
-
I'm kinda with the Frogs on this. Just doesn't make sense. Pretty sure our lot would complain if boot was on other foot.
BTW, scallops are orgasmic if done properly. Maybe pan seared in garlic butter with a bit of smoked bacon, sorry Lardon for the plebs out there. ;)
-
Boot is on the other foot. Various other member states - mainly Spanish factory ships, but also the French among others, have the right to come and plunder British fishing grounds while our trawlermen are struggling to earn a basic crust.
The UK fishing fleet is a shadow of what it was due to this.

Waterloo on water. :)
I think you'll find that is generally known as Trafalgar M'lud! ::) ;) :)
We won that one too! :y
-
Many years ago, this sort of thing would be looked upon as a declaration of war,and the fleet would have been sent to protect our interest's, (awaits a historical reference), but most off the fleet now is in dock, might need to resurrect the little ships.

Well HMS Victory is still a commissioned warship[the oldest in the world]so maybe it's time to repair her keel and get her to sea again :D All we'd need then is another Nelson :y

That could be just the promotion Jeremy Hunt is looking for!

..........and remember the Icelandic Cod Wars from 1958 to 1976?
This latest event is just a little scuffle compared to that! ::) ::) :D ;)

not eaten seafood since fukashima,
find the map of affected areas that are teeming with radiation from it, still pumping out thousands of tons of horrible arsenic plutonium,strontium and many others, and they cannot stop it,I will stick to cows i think :y
-
My dad doesnt eat anything that sifts sewage for a living ;D
Radioactive sewage is a new level......

The bad news is that we have very few frigates and destroyers on patrol in UK waters but we do have plenty at their berths due to manpower shortages. The good news that those carrying Tomahawk cruise missiles won't need to leave their berths to take out any target this side of Poland. 8) :y
