#7 All I mentioned was the Cal Mac ferries being built at Fergusons are over budget and well behind schedule.

Now the First minister of Scotland is being dragged into it,

Really, why is it that a thread about A SHIP is turning into a political bun fight?

Yes James
Like so many other Threads of now and the past, seems that a Subject cannot be stuck to, i cannot understand why really, as there are so many other Subject Forums that could be used!
I have for Years now tried to Fix, Edit, Scream, Plead, and all the rest but to no avail.
There was a Thread i had posted on this sort of thing, before !

Now Come on Lads and Lassies, surely we can all try a bit harder to stick to what the Thread is all about, without throwing in other things, and tandrums!!

Its all getting too much (merchant-navy.net)
Cheers
