In another story ... Bad day at the office for our Man in Colombia :D
The British Embassy in Colombia made an embarrassing contribution to ceremonies marking the 31st anniversary of the Falklands conflict this week, when it referred to the islands as the “Malvinas”, the term used by Argentina. In the Embassy’s official Twitter account, @UkinColombia, staff repeatedly posted advertisements in Spanish for a debate on the islands called the “Malvinas Falklands forum”, in stark contrast to the Government’s policy of always using the British name for the territory claimed by Argentina. |
Oh dear. New Embassy staff required, I think. You up for the job, Coff? Or might we send another PPRuNer with suitable quals?

Not me ... never been diplomatic enough ! Probably wouldn't pass the Civil Service Test either :E

"Clearly President Mujica is a perceptive chap..."
I had to laugh when I read that late last night. It would have given here a few more wrinkles :ok: |
I'm thinking the UK Government ought to recognise President Mujica's efforts ... a Honorary Knighthood is perhaps a bit too strong/obvious ... but Honorary Air Commodore of 101 Squadron RAF might be a bit more "subtle" :E

OK. I've never had naughty thoughts about CFdK. Come on?
|
You're sick.
