Yeah, but in the 17th Century we had an Army and Navy.....They could walk right in now and kick our arses with a tin opener and a pea shooter.....Thanks to Government cuts!!!! Maybe we should surrender first, and while they are confused and disorientated we can run away in in victory!!!:cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was only for service on the Island, or to aid the Monarch if they were a prisoner, or to help them regain the crown. The oldest organised UK military force? RMIJ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jersey This is the last time they tried it! Do you know the frog eaters were acussing my kinsman of being PIRATES!!! :mad: Nope they were proper Privaters! No good Jerseyman would do anything except for the money! :kiss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
