Re: Could we have a Cumbria meet? Alternative meet I will be alongside at Alston sometime over the weekend hopefully sampling the Cumberland (Cumbria, if you want to be PC) sausage that may have been personally passed by Lake Sailer as radioactively neutral. All hopefully without interference...

I think they've all gone to the "Could we have a Cumbria meet?" thread and are still talking about it. JJTOP

Alpacas, you surprise me; I didn't think Cumbrian mountain men had such sophisticated tastes. Are you a rigger boot man or inclined to wellies like everybody else? I'm uncertain and find myself drawn to a pair of Dubarrys; the best both worlds don't you think? JJTOP

Can I respectfully suggest that the way you are all P--ing about with this proposed event makes me wonder how you ever get out of port? Make it Alston, 35 mins drive and I'll come. JJTOP

First post to this thread but Joseph Conrad must be the seaman's writer. Try the [--word removed--] Of The Narcissus. This is an English classic written by a emigré writer. Why should a word be removed? The fully titled book is listed on Amazon. JJTOP

Real Cumbrians glow in the dark. ( no need for nav lights) What do yours do?
