We have been paying for this stuff around here for a very long time. Indeed I've lost count of the number of times travel has been impeded in Portsmouth Harbour in recent years as they have been dredging up wartime ordnance so that HMS Elizabeth could safely fit into the harbour. Then there was the time they had to clear HMS Deadelus airfield when it was decommissioned. That's right on my doorstep.Besides which France and Belgium farmers are still finding bits of ordnance from WW1. Whose been paying for that?

Perhaps we should take it as a lesson learned in what results when nations go to war when they can't just agree to disagree?
