Queen Victoria
I see that the Argies are at it again, the Queen Victoria was ordeed to take down the Red Ensign, or be fined. Time for us to start treating them with the contempt they deserve! No more cruise ship visits, no more sports fixtures, and they can shove their corned beef where the sun don't shine

Re: Queen Victoria
Ron , these are unsubstantiated rumours reported by Baron West of Spithead , from a conversation he allegedly had with the lady Captain Inger Olsen , Not a single word on it traceable back to an official source
