Reg, Britain has an alliance with France.
The French supply the aircraft carriers and the French also supply the air-planes to operate from these carriers.
We've never had it better!
As for the English Army, the Kentish regiments always had a place of honour in the front line.
With the formation of the British Army, the Highlanders joined us at the front.
As long as we keep a cool head and hold out on our Island Nation's Shores, we will remain the Invincible Army.
