Doubtless some of you will have seen the news story about the French aircraft carrier - full of toxic material - which has been brought over to the U.K. to be broken up.

This snippet in today's paper gave me a smile. :D :D :D

Quote:
While there are protests here about the French aircraft carrier Clemenceau being broken up in Hartlepool - it's too toxic to be dismantled anywhere else - Paris's satirical journal Le Canard Enchaine marks the occasion with a cartoon showing the warship steaming off to Blighty and one Gallic salt saying to another: "Battle of the Nile, Trafalgar . . . another ship off to be destroyed by the English."
