Right, I'm not falling for the wind-up, merely making a point. Its not just the Falklands, its the fact we have South Georgia also. This means we get that rather large slice of the pie when Antarctica is divided up. At the moment I believe there is an agreement which forbids the exploitation of the continent, this is subject to review. The spoils will be divided between those whose territory is in the region, therefore suddenly the UK has a border which stretches from the Falklands to South Georgia. The subsequent rape of the environment should benefit us enormously.. .Incidentally, not interested in corrections as a Mr Thicky D.E.
