I would certainly pay my taxes for the Ministry of Sound; and the Ministry of Silly Walks is patently an important part of the establishment. Mr Cleese MP does a wonderful job.
See how I support my government? :D
As for the flight plan, Wales never gave up Glyndwr, despite a bounty on his head that would have raised a peasant into a lord. I'll take my chances in the mountains.
Jo, don't forget about those b......s with second homes there. They would give you up in the blink of an eye if there were a reward.
Jase may have some influence around Uluru (with the Joey's!). But watch out for Alice - she may spring you!
Isn't it dangerous over there? What with the Yowies and all. And the spiders. And the snakes. And the... well just about everything wild and most of the tame things too.
Jase ain't dangerous!!!
Good to see they didn't drag you away in chains.... YIKES, can you say freedom...
Let's do Wales. We can send secret messages in Welsh.
Oops. Missed the whole second page of this.....
Ragtimelil: 02/03/2013 - 02:04 PMLet's do Wales. We can send secret messages in Welsh.
Unless of course someone has Google translate!
As someone who's actually seen what Google translate does to the Welsh language, I have no fear.
Jo - have you asked Zazzle to clarify that the complaint is of the picture and not the words as I seem to remember reading (and I can't find where I read it so I could have imagined the whole thing!! 
) that you couldn't use the actual name of an active naval ship for commercial purposes.
If it is just the name you could easily rename it a destroyer and keep the photos up there.
I know I got very indignant when one of my photos of a NZ icon were pulled because there were absolutely no legal restrictions on using it - it turned out to be a couple of letters combined together that I had in the title and descriptions that had been trademarked - the photo was fine and has been happily selling ever since.
I've written to the Secretary of Defence, my MP and cc:ed Zazzle, so hopefully one of them will clarify further. If it is the wording, then I wonder if it was 'British Navy'. Another product also mentioned HMS Edinburgh and that's still there, deemed fine.
Thanks for this, Lou. :)
It is most likely that the MOD find infringements using Google Alerts related to specific words and phrases rather than having a person scan sites for pictures: little effort vs extreme amounts of time (wasted). So, it probably is "British Navy" that has alerted the box tickers.
