Oct 21 1805 the wooden walls of England did their bit in defeating Napoleon's nasty plan for a European common market from Lisbon to the Urals run by the French. There seems to be little mention as Putin's navy sails down the English (we hope) Channel that our Russian teddy bear has chosen Trafalgar Day for his demo. Some people learn to be rude others are just born that way. |

They passed through in single file, a very British queue :-D |

On both the English and French sides of the channel all shipping passes in single file as the regulations of passage in this international waterway demand it. There is nothing especially English about it just practicality. Large vessels not keeping to the rules run a very real risk of running aground. |
