There are also several worldwide distributed mission data uplink stations (ULS) and everal worldwide distributed reference sensor stations (GSS).The German Aerospace Center (DLR) contributes the largest portion of the Galileo funds, and is crucial in the development and application of the system with its facilities of the Earth Observation Center, and the Institute for Communication and Navigation in Neustrelitz.
UK involvement seems to be restricted to small satellite production by Surrey Satellite Technology, which, apparently, is owned by French-dominated Airbus.
Yes, but we have contributed 8% of the total and it is important we stay in the Project as it is the basis for our military, police, emergency services and coastguard new systems and for the new automatic location systems in case of emergencies.

Can't say I've ever seen the Spanish as lazy, over here on the nurseries they worked as hard as anyone else. That was back in the 70s. If they found a better work life balance I'd say well done, sadly most here never have.

I've always liked Spanish chaps. Very sexy with come to bed eyes .. I wouldn't kick one out of bed. Italians too are quite nice with their cornettos. French always seem a little too hmm .. smarmy? Seedy? But British chaps are best. Fit, hunky fellas with the best bums. Still I digress.

I have a very tight, none saggy Bum.
Unfortunately, the rest of me is a wreck.

Thank God for that Morti, I would be on the scrapheap otherwise.

If the UK was so good how come we are in this state?
A struggling NHS, crap infrastructure, lousy pensions and having to borrow £Billions every year to keep our heads above water.
Spain is actually more productive than the UK, not less.
The UK is less productive than the EU average.
If we are going to make the UK a better place, we would be better looking to ourselves instead of constantly blaming others.

Why do you think our "work culture" is flawed?Could it be because successive Governments have tried their best to destroy our Engineering and Manufacturing industries by ensuring that easier money could be made in the Service sector?
