ShotOne, this should cheer you up;
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/m...ew-rfa-tankers . Old news now but they are still being built in South Korea. This is good value for the MoD but arguably not that good for UK PLC. Unless we have some reciprocal trade agreement with the South Koreans, all the money leaves the Country. Buying British would most probably cost more but much of the money would stay in our home economy. The brains trust in the Treasury doesn't allow the MoD a buy British bonus, though. Funny old world.
