I've found that Britain has a trade deficit and it's increasing. No wonder you are Brexiter. You are operating with incorrect information.

Curious Canadian, why do you have an anchor ensign on your avatar? What do you think Canada is anchored to?

Perhaps the closer meaning is he is an anchor that keeps things from progressing.

He's going to be really freaked out when he comes back and finds out we've been talking about him.

Adding the baby might be where you lost it. You do a pretty good imitation of one (baby and anchor) also when you want to.

Run along, the collective don't like to kept anchored in one place too long.

Anchor
A person who can slow down an entire group.
A person who requires constant help or attention from some one else.

What an anchor! She helled up an entire line at the check out for no reason.
That gut is such an anchor. He made us all wait half an hour so he could go kill a badger.
I do not want to bring Dave any where. He is such an anchor. A short trip takes all day with him.

It was succeeded by the RCN Ensign (I can't see the difference!)

No, I'm not freaked out. You were a Kipper, Blackleaf?

(I was an AB Stoker 1973-1977 in the C.A.F. "Marlant"- Halifax)

Oh, Marcom Jill has pressed charges against Jack. Something about Jack showing her the Golden Rivet inside the torpedo tube.
