@Zaphod2042 I was surprised something that small needed to use that much of the deck to get airborne.

@Hush_Kit I feel there needs to be a study into the best colours to withstand fading on book spines.

@1n_v1no_ver1tas @PeterTCross @Telegraph I mean not sure how old you are but I've been in 25 years and there have been plenty of changes in that time.

@SandraBarr28075 @Telegraph Well the article is about the Royal Navy, which doesn't have regiments, who's Scottish members have been wearing kilts at mess dinners since forever*. So feel free to disembark the outrage bus. *Presumably some point after the Act of Union.

@SandraBarr28075 @Telegraph 'What if the Scots officers decide they will celebrate their heritage, and they start wearing kilts to formal events?' You mean like they always have done?

@DevaPete @ric_cole @FedUpYorkshire @Telegraph Kilts aren't, should people with a vague Scottish association be banned from wearing those with their mess kit?

@Nclairejo @SuellaBraverman Handily that's exactly when they'll be allowed wear it. At mess functions, which are a form of party.

@PhillipLawler1 @anon_opin They definitely have snowy mountains, not sure about the forests though.

@PhillipLawler1 @anon_opin Iran has functioning F-14s, despite US attempts prevent it. So I always figured it was them.

@1n_v1no_ver1tas @PeterTCross @Telegraph You're obviously missing the bit where it's for formal occasions, not when on the front line.

@UKDefJournal But it's more environmentally friendly than the diesel electric submarines Spain has...

@IanWessels2 @SebastianEPayne Initiated yes, but also decided not to conclude them. The 99 year lease is the least of the issues, it would allow unfettered access to the other islands by anyone Mauritius decided to rent them to, and cease all protection for what is currently a massive marine nature reserve.

@gujabano @SebastianEPayne @PeterTFortune Given Maurtians weren't the ones driven out there's no need to give them any money at all.

@chrisbenriordan @SebastianEPayne America aren't paying for it because they're already paying us an agreed rent for the air base. If we choose to give the islands to someone else and then rent them back that's entirely our problem.

@Frcola1 @SebastianEPayne You could make a similar argument for many of the Scottish islands, shall we pay someone to take those too?
