Current 4 year old labrador loves boats and boating but hates sails! Doesn't like anything flappy above him including kites - good dog. Dries quick and stays under the canopy when he's wet. First time he was on a boat for any length of time he took himself to the bathing platform and...

[ QUOTE ] Not suprisingly I don't agree with your view. The EU are mandating a minimum not a maximum so there is still a case worth pursuing. What is point of not trying?- if they increase the tax to white diesel level, NO government in the future will ever bring it down- can you imagine...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Anyone who swallows that load of BS is an idiot. [/ QUOTE ] Thank you for your flattering comment! You miss the point- Whatever happened in the past is done and we can't undo it. We now have to do something. If the Gov hadn't reapplied for derogation and said they...

[ QUOTE ] The UK government has already stated that they didn't want to lose red diesel in the first place as it will damage the boating industry- [/ QUOTE ] Anyone who swallows that load of BS is an idiot. The govt have a choice, they chose to cave into the EU as usual. They got their...

It's not maintenance, it's my mum. She doesn't like getting her wheels wet so she makes them pull it all the way up the ramp before she drives on!

Very high tide today on the island was lapping over the banks of the Medina right up into Newport and breaking right over the wall at Egypt point this lunchtime. Suprising number of mobos about though. Seaward 29 out playing in the swell and shrugging it off. Sealine F34 struggling a bit more...

[ QUOTE ] What's the point of that seat right in front of the companion way? [/ QUOTE ] I was going to suggest that the point is you can sit in it and, errr, admire the girly, but as the later photo clearly shows Nauticals boat being driven by Marc Almond, I suspect looking at girls is not on...

What on Earth makes you think it's a sailing film - it's a war film. You wouldsn't call Battle of the River Plate a motorboat film would you?

Have a search through this forum and the Lounge looking for Tarquin Trader and 'Gludy' and although it might not solve your problems, it might make you feel a helluva lot better!
