The Frog War

Remember the Cod War in the early 1970s, Billinge Biker does, well now we have the 'Frog War' with France, apparently the French don't like us, and it's something too doo with fish

This could be Macron's Waterloo

Maybe they have never forgotten what happened in 1415 like I mentioned on my smashing thread. This fish thing is just another excuse to get some payback.

My brother and his mates used to put their bicycle pumps up frogs bottoms and pump them up. Maybe we should try that.

Hahahaha. That brings back memories, I shouldn't laugh though. I know better now.

it,s wot you voted for 1stroke .

I once went to Paris to buy some trousers while in France, but every pair I tried on were either Toulon or Toulouse.

The French ambassador has today been summoned to the Foreign Office

The dispute is escalating towards all out war LINK

Were our fishermen being shafted under the EU Looks like the ball is on the other foot now

Mentioned in despatches T. T. S.... . Its all about politics and spitting dummies out.... Don't fancy their chances in any war.

On about the Cod War, and looking at some of the history stuff, it says that the Icelanders told America that if the British fired on their gun boats, they would pull out of NATO and close the American base in Iceland, and invite the Soviets in instead, so because of the important strategic position of Iceland in the North Atlantic/Greenland Gap, during those times in the Cold War, the British had no choice but to let the Icelanders keep their soddin fish.

"Britain must be punished for Brexit, says France"

That is very nice of them, isn't it ?

Very neighbourly .....

What do you expect from the 'hands up' white flag waving cheese wallahs.

Heard a few different tales over the years TTS... Politics and religion are the cause of many a war... No doubt it will be sorted at the foreign office over a nice brandy and cigar....

How can the frogs spot two of our trawlers... Allegedly fishing without permits.... When they can't see the 500 inflatables leaving their waters? And we are paying the frogs to stop it.
