ADP. Just spotted your post on the Royal Navy. I would love to agree with you but the words "was" and perhaps "were" seem to be missing.

They are currently more akin to  the "Royal Putaniland Navy"., from the BBC Radio's "The Navy Lark".

That is not intended as a slur to Royal Navy itself or to our sailors, but to our friends in successive Governments who have made such dreadful cuts. Still never mind I expect that our fine sailors are building real muscles trying to propel their rowing boats ever faster.
