Bristol Channel Quiz (22)

[damo]

Graham is too embarrassed to set another question, after his last one /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif So he asked me to do it!

Where is a harbour building which has "four grand fire places and clocks on its roof, to represent the four seasons, 52 rooms for every week of the year and a grand 365 windows."

Did it have a cat? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[damo]

Yes - the original Barry Dock building. A rare example of a "Calendar Building" apparently /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[damo]

It had 7 cats - one for every day of the week /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[donm]

Sorry Mr B just got back on line after an absence on the boat sanding/polishing/varnishing/filtering etc etc. I will catch up later.

P.S. Just winning is enough after so many attempts!

 

[Jinks]

My wife works in the Barry Docks office and I didn't know that. Bet she doesn't either.

 

[donm]

Sorry for the delay - here is the question

"Where in the Bristol Channel can you get a 30 ft boat lifted out, 6 months secure storage, free electricity and water, free access and use of a workshop, and then lifted back in, all for less than £500?"

 

[donm]

Answer - Barry Yacht Club. Is there better value for money out there?

 

[graham]

I see lots of BYC moorings are back in.Going afloat soon Don?
Was very tempted to go for a sail yesterday afternoon sun out nice breeze etc but was strict with myself and rewired the nav lights instead .

The new shed/workshop in Barry must be usefull when your ashore.
