    I'd love to, but sadly I don't have that power either. Guess we have to wait for someone like Nish to wander by.

      In the same way that posting such a thread about Indians (or insert nationality of choice) would be as well. You deliberately set out to provoke a nationalistic reaction - and that's trolling.

        Note my smiley! I am aware fully, it is all the political BS that really annoys me. Actually Britain sells £Billions of goods/services a year to India, why would we want to spoil that?

        It's a shame that (as I understand it) unless you are selling to a company which is a net exporter, India imposes high import taxes, which makes it hard to sell into them.

                    Not sure what you are thinking about. Give a bad pilot the best fighter, and he won't be able to do anything with it. The Rafale is a very good fighter, has brought many improvements in many aspects of aircraft technology. The pilots nickname the Eurofighter the flat iron. The Rafale has only one problem : it is utmost expensive.

                        Not really pissed off at losing the contract, because it will be late delivered and over priced and the aircraft will be unreliable and falling out of the sky. And as for the £1Billion in aid every year, even your finance minister doesn't want it (see here[^]) But the restiction of visas for foreign students is all down to politicking.

                                Well for about 3-4 centuries, you took all the aid you could get from India. It'll take you another 300 years to pay it all back. :-D How about we start with the Kohinoor?

                                    nope no french win there,even if you mess arounf with the meaning then the Fench still dont come first. first diesel - first compression ignition I will give you turbo - nope the turbocharging of engines dates back to the 1880's and as the French fighters are being sold for considerablly less than they cost to make, my guess is that either this order was a loss leader or the French govenment is stupping up cash (or both as it was reported that the production line was eing shut down due to lack of orders)

                                      nope not in this reality

                                      nope no french win there,even if you mess arounf with the meaning then the Fench still dont come first. first diesel - first compression ignition I will give you turbo - nope the turbocharging of engines dates back to the 1880's and as the French fighters are being sold for considerablly less than they cost to make, my guess is that either this order was a loss leader or the French govenment is stupping up cash (or both as it was reported that the production line was eing shut down due to lack of orders)

                                      I just give some examples of the top of my head apparently wrong. I really don't care. I have nothing against UK nor France (obviously). The point was that in my view he's a euroskeptic and french are associated as proeuro. Hence the trolling against french plains. I know that the deal is not yet signed. Raffale seems to be the winner but is not 100% just yet. Still, thats no reason to trash those plains. He was like a little fun boy trashing apple or google or ms or ... without any real knoledge. Not that I have any(regarding fighters). :)

                                        actually I think Dave is anti French more due to the fact that he is British rather than his Euro views. you have to remember that the French and British have been at War, recovering from War or preaparing to go to war with each other for centuries, this short term alliance we have at present is paper thin as some of the comments from France recently have shown. oh and do remember that France didnt want Britain in the EU and blocked its entry for many years.
