Not sure of my facts so please forgive me.

One of the many accidents that ocurred whilst building this marvel of that time,was a worker falling down between the Steel Sheets making up the Hull.

Nobody heard him shouting for help.

Was it not built in one of the better London Boroughs?

No matter.

Good Luck to you with the thread and Alstom who also builds magnicient Ships.

'Royal Navy sabotaged our budget'
Tom McGhie, Mail on Sunday

20 July 2003


HANGING demands by the Royal Navy over the construction of two aircraft carriers are thought to be behind claims that BAE Systems is failing to build the ships to the original budget.

Britain's biggest defence contractor was awarded the £2.8bn contract to build the 60,000 tonne carriers - the biggest warships built in the UK - six months ago. Critics in the Navy have claimed that the carriers will cost £4bn.



But Financial Mail can reveal that the original order was for two large, cheap carriers each capable of flying 48 aircraft.



According to defence industry sources, the Navy insisted on changing the specifications, turning the carriers into state-of-the-art warships equipped with advanced satellite communications and computer systems capable of working with the US Navy. The Navy says that only large and highly sophisticated carriers would give Britain the capability of influencing conflicts thousands of miles away.

We used to have a courier contract with UPS. Their service options are more flexible than DHL and cheaper than Fedex. The whizzbang service (Express) will refund the freight if it is late and Expedited is perfectly reasonable for less time sensitive deliveries. And you can track consignments on the internet,,

Thanks for the input. I have used Interlink Express who undercut Consignia by around 5% but this was for a guaranteed 2 day service against 5+ days.

I have been using 'www.Parcel2go.co.uk' for UK parcels and I know they now do international parcels. The UK service is outstanding. Book and pay online and they pick it up from your door.

plse post feedback if you use them

Any recommendations on reliable and competitively priced services to the States. I have an approx 12 kilo package of merchandise to send. Speed is not of the absolute essence and a 7 - 10 day service would suffice.

Thanks,

John
