One word, Trident. They build those subs in Barrow so we wont need that Scottish base.

You might build them there, but you don't have any place to base them. Plus, I think the commies have more "Trident" than we do...

You know something, that's a point. Maybe there's nothing in those warheads, maybe they are just filled with lucky bag toys! No one has fired any in anger since 1945. Maybe it's a big con!

Found a base near me for those subs. Port Sutton Bridge on river Nene. Bottom of the Wash. Difficult to navigate into though specially at night. Surrounded by dozens of red and green flashing lights on the buoys its very easy to start heading towards the wrong one! Theres a problem though because one sunken ship would block the channel and there is a Russian ship that visits on a regular basis dropping timber at Wisbech and back out with a load of scrap metal. Hmmm. Maybe Lowestoft then.
