Live with in, IMO.  From what I remember of the per-ship rates, you guys
get a steal compared to the States & Canada, especially on the
battleships.
 If I remember Tyranid Tim's post correctly, the BBs are UKP12 against
USD32... now, I'm not *entirely* sure he was right there, but if so that
is
**way** off the exchange rate, in the UK's favor.  (Enough that I was
talking to Stuart at GZG-ECC about him maybe getting me a BB or three
when
he went home sometime....)
