Bonsoir � tous,

French TV channel 2nite has broadcasted an interesting one abt Sir Peter Blake
and his last trip around South Pole.
After that, it went on with some other topics till abt sea world and you know
what ?? It seems that our British cousins are about to give up an old tradition
: it seems that they will/are use/using the neutral form when speaking of ships
...
No more "she" but "it" while speaking of HMS ...
Shocking ...!

73/72!
Claude, F5PBL
