Armed forces day

[Bosun]

Living in another country does not change the fact that someone was born a Brit and still feels at least in part like a Brit, as well as embracing the culture of their new home. Few move abroad because they hate being British, they move in the main for postive social-economic reasons.

The Government send these young men and women in harms way for there own reasons true, but the soldiers, sailors and airmen have no say in what's right and whats wrong. They do their duty.

Armed Forces day is a simple way to say "we recognise the dangers and perils you ensdure in the name of our country and we thank you for your bravery, hardwork and selflesness".

Nothing jingiositic about that. Politics should stay in the political world.
Good luck with the celebrations, the guy's in uniform do appreciate being appreciated.

well done can balache . and Mr Rab ,well PP is not exactly Olde Spain is it , if you think it is well , travel more.good answer from tony ..and the royal wedding day .. well I think we had 40 plus canyas on our bill that day , so that was fine with me. se you again in afew weeks

I never suggested PP was olde Spain but it certainly isnt Magaluf. I find it strange people choose to move to another country then have a desire to display their "Britishness".

Im sorry guys but I find this event and the Royal Wedding street party tacky in the extreme. What next? Last night at the proms? A few choruses of Rule Brittania at closing time?

Rab, thankfully the people here are tolerant and understanding with many of them actually joining in.

Hola Rab

I was interested in your views and where you are coming from, although I may not agree with them.

I looked at your public profile for a clue, but little info is given.

I just wondered if Rab is your real name, or are you just a proud Scot.

Take care

Thanks to everyone who came and supported Armed Forces Day. We have decided to donate the 150 euros to Help for Heroes, we hope this meets with your approval (Rab excluded)
