Concorde/Fast ships and gas guzzling cars by
Derek Copeland
Hi Ian,
I have already explained that mistake to 'Welsh' Druid.
I'm not really into Ships, but they are apparently
catamarans and at least twice as fast as the bog standard,
monohull, Ro-Ro car ferries.
Can I also admit to typing 'Chrysler' when I meant
'Chevrolet' in my piece on General Motors...

Concorde.... by
Derek Copeland
As I am English rather than French, I am not going
to defend President de Gaulle, who for years vetoed
the UK's applications to join the EEC, and who seemed
to hate the British and Americans for winning his country
back for him.
Compared with the proposed Boeing SST, Concord was
a relatively...

Concorde.... by

Miles Aviation designed the aircraft which was re-badged
as the Bell X-1 but somehow the Americans conveniently
forget that!

were leaned on by the US Government not to buy Concorde,

Don't you find it even a little bit worrying 309, that
you can visit almost any country in the World and see
the same makes and types of aeroplanes, cars, motorcycles
and almost any other manufactured goods. Cars are sometimes
re-badged to pander to local markets, e.g. General
Motors cars are...

Owain, I normally write my pieces first thing in the

can type quite quickly, so they do not detract from
my work. I am quite a bit bit older than you and probably
better qualified (although I don't know what profession
you are in).
I don't like...

Thank you ‘309’. You have proved my point exactly,
although I didn’t realise quite how much the US Political

aircraft industry.
There is a board game called Monopoly in which the
idea is take over all your competitors’ businesses
and achieve a...
