    saved things they needed. Lived in CI
    for a while loved the gaff.

    Many of you on this site must never forget the greatest man made engineering projects of the twentieth century was the building and designing of the supersonic airliner Concorde carried out by British and French engineers.
    They beat both the Americans and Russians in putting this iconic airliner into service.

    As far as I am concerned Concord spelled without an E is rather dull for such an iconic airliner.
    Concorde with an E at the end suits the aircraft better.

    They also worked very well with the Germans in the early 40s, although with some resistance from some of the population, and Macron seems to want to emulate another small dictator from long ago. The behaviour recently , plus history, does not encourage trust from us, kt

    #66 Vic , French became the official language of England after William the Conqueror gave your boys a pasting in 1066.

    Ah Lewis, heard of the Auld Alliance?
    Scotland and France signed a deal to attack England. Idea was Scots attack from North French from the South.
    Guess what? As usual Froggies didn't turn up.

    #49 Dennis. Fishing has always been controversial whether on land or sea. In the 17th century the Dutch dominated the herring fishery around northern waters of Scotland and Shetland. The locals were crofters or inshore fishermen and didn't have the know how that the Dutch had, in later years they caught up and the Dutch were no longer welcome.
    Coming back to your side of the world the indigenous people suffered from commercial fishing, though there has been some redress. This form a publication I purchased some year ago a bit to the south of you but the same idea.
