Seems like old times.

 

I hadn't realized that they had closed the base in Valletta (Malta).  Seems the UK footprint is expanding again into an old stamping ground.  Gives them a good line from Gibraltar to Bahrain.

 

The Emir will be collecting rents on both the UK and the US.

Westminster finally decided to rebuild the empire...

 

The empire died in 1956, those days are well and truly over.

Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

This profile is now defunct.

Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

 

With regards, Miles Saunders-Priem aka. Ln X aka. The British Sausage

The generally accepted end date is 1997 when they lost Hong Kong. 

 

Never underestimate Westminster!!

    The dissolution of the British Empire actually started in 1947 when the last Governor General left India and it became a republic.  No matter what the people in the Foreign Office might want, the "great" game is lost.
