    Apparently 97% of global communications and $10tn in daily financial transactions were transmitted through cables that criss-cross our sea beds.

    "Russia could pose a major threat to the UK and other Nato nations by cutting underwater cables essential for international commerce and the internet, the chief of the British defence staff, Sir Stuart Peach, has warned."

    How's Amanda? Hope she is well, Ronald. Is she still singing? If she is struggling for cash, I can supplement her for one or two favours in return.

    There seems to be plenty of back up plans but I assume that, if anyone was planning to chop our communications, they would make sure they had re-routed theirs first. Presumably we should be out there guarding them just in case

    Can you go out and guard them please Ron.

    I'd feel much safer knowing it was you out there.
