Re: Skyline? Starlight? Foxhounds???
Well , I'm Scottish , living in England (more's the pity) and I'm ex-forces and have never heard any of these expressions . I think someone at DICE has been watching too many badly made war movies with Americans playing English officers and has never actually visited the UK.Comment
