Blame it on a Raggie ...............

[DAKA]

Just a bit of harmless fun , seeing as a selfish Raggie managed to sabotage my home Christmas lights this year I thought we could run a thread to see who can post the most outrageous 'blame it on a Raggie' .

Here's my submission and as you would expect from me its 100% pucker (sorry ocean Froggie, its just how raggies are, dont shoot the messenger).

2012 Bembridge, a few rafted outside me as usual. 240v plugged in to shore with 3 boats plugged into me.

Power went off and I traced the fault back to the shore power, my lead had come out of the socket , dropped into the water and a raggie had plugged into the slot where mine had fallen out of

The git was sat on his boat , pretending not to notice me.

" Have you just unplugged me ?"

Ignored

(at which point I went to my boat to get a double adapter, returning 4 mins later)

2 foot away, face to face
"do you mind if I use a spitter and share your socket please ?"

Grunt, grunt " Im a berth holder"

Seeing as I didnt get a response which I was comfortable with I split off another lead and walked off.

Anyway that lead ended up in my garage where it was used for my christmas lights but trip......trip.........trip until I found the inners were tripping out and burning between the contacts.

Bloody Raggie !

Are people really that ignorant in the UK? I've never come across this in Ireland.

But then again, I don't darken the waters of Dun Laoighre / Crosshaven etc.

I'm not saying its exclusively a UK issue, i'm sure the French are ignorant pr1cks too. Guess the Irish are just a lovely bunch, and the rest of ye are a bunch of plebs

Looks like the usual suspects blame the poor raggies for everything including the last ice age, global warming, the crash of 1929, the sinking of the titanic, the fall of troy, the V2 rocket, and reality TV

Wasn't me, I don't need electrickery. Anyway, my nearest anchorage is 2 miles away & I don't have a lead that long.

All sins forgiven OceanFroggie
For someone who usually hates these threads (but never misses one ) thats a classic

 

[DAKA]

Of course not.

Come on mick, you cant turn every thread into a chance to bash the British , this is clearly a Raggie bashing thread !

Anyway which bit are you on , the English bit or the other end under French, German Brussels rule.

A raggie disconnected my shore power from my own berth replacing it with his own cable. This is on my berth where I pay for the electricity. He did it not once but twice. On the second occasion I disconnected him and chucked his cable end in the oggin.

He wasn't at all happy when he came back and started ranting and raving.

It gave me the perfect opportunity to teach him some manners.

I'm so glad I don't need to go into boat parks & plug in an umbilical. You are all confirming my predjudices.

I really don't understand this. Why would anyone disconnect your leccy to plug theirs in? First of all, don't most marinas have plenty of sockets available? And second, why do they think they have the right to unplug yours to plug theirs in? I really don't get it.

It's because raggies are dodgy, especially ones with beards!

Oi! I ain't dodgy.
