TomJoad, Thankyou for your response to my post. I believe you are incorrect in stating "Since early 1990 the military strength of the UK has been reducing". In fact, it has been reducing since 1945.

On another point, it would be good to see the NEM achieve improvements in terms and conditions of service, not the destruction of the UK armed forces, as we knew them!
