Err, yes, Glen. During the First World War, one of the Royal Navy's criteria for commissioning ships was to out-muscle the next TWO most powerful navy's in the world. But you knew that, didn't you? Obviously things have changed a bit since then, have you looked up "heritage" in the dictionary. After that, borrow an encyclopaedia and look up Henry VIII, then Armada, then chronometer, then Greenwich, then Trafalgar, then steam, then submarine, then German Imperial High Seas Fleet. Then look up Dover Straits. You may find the word's "busiest shipping channel in the world" close by, along with "U-boat". Man, this is like shooting Hogarthian fish in a barrel. Whilst you're all telling me to get my head out of my butt or other other sparkling gems of wit, why don't you get a clue for yourselves. Next, please.
