I think you may have posted that by mistake, this is the Defender forum..
Defender Land Rovers, not Defender de countries. |

This is why I posted in the off topic section.
I guess you thought the same when you started a topic about the Beirut explosion. Nothing to do with defenders but well worth discussing. |

Our media tend to leave out anything bad happening across Europe so I didn’t even know. Ray

It’s been ongoing for several years and the U.K. has had warships patrolling out there for a while - while we were transmitting the eastern Med on container ships we had to report all our movements to the EU force whenever we arrived/ sailed from ports in the Eastern Medi Basin and Turkey has a special reporting area like Israel has where any maritime traffic has to report 24 hours before entering any national waters. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Wow 278B. Is that the difference we have had back after taking off what we paid in? Cheers

I'm not having this turn in a another political bickering thread - we've had enough of that across the forums over the past 4 years.
I won't hesitate to lock the thread if it goes down that route...  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Why not create a "Flame Pit" where such comments can be tipped ?

Me neither Ray. The OP has prompted me to read up and become better informed on the history and current affairs in the eastern Med. I appreciate his post, which by the way, no one forced me to read. |

Fair comment, though I wasn’t having a blatant ‘pop’ at any particular country...... I was just sharing news of a serious disaster. |

Don't worry my friend you will not lose your money. We pay them back every day. Or you didn't know that it was not given for free? Only the Marshall plan was given for free to Germany. We never forget our debts. It's part of our culture. It would be nice though, to remind your government to pay 279 billions for the WW2 reparations to Greece. https://www.euronews.com/2018/10/10/greece...eparations Cheers 😗 Last edited by lrMike on 14th Aug 2020 9:51pm.
