"I'm guessing you have never actually asked a Falklander that question."

Wrong - I was actually talking to a couple of them just before Christmas - the older guy, some of whose family were banged up at Goose Green in the shed, is the one who told me that they expected the Brits to ditch them in the late 70's and that they might well do it again...........

The current feeling is that they may be able to do business with the current government in BA and the removal of the irritating restrictions on shipping will be very welcome as would be the renewal of flights to BA. However it will be a generation before anyone will trust the Argies again.........................
