Doug United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, getting closer to thread, it had 1 year left it was issued by the Embassy in Paris. French nationality hadn't yet come through.

Ah, but the SNP position is very clear: "Independence will give us the power to remove nuclear weapons from Scotland". Enough of politics, Guatanamo Bay was a liver harming run ashore in 1975! Back to GB stickers; what I am not clear on is why this decision and who made it? Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
