Capital_R and his 50m "yacht"

[longjohnsilver]

Where is he?

He's gone from being a very prolific poster to complete silence. And no sign of any custard delivery and pics, or a forum get together in Wetherspoons. Was it all an elaborate troll? Made a good story whilst it lasted!!

I was wondering the same this week, I know you had your doubts all along John, but if it was a troll you must admit it was a very determined effort!

Perhaps this should have been shared ???

He was last seen adding the vinyl lettering that spells out the new name of his vessel...."Weigh Anchor"

Glad it got there in the end. :encouragement:

I am really missing Capital_R and his posts. It is such a great story. I hope he returns soon.

I bet he's home just now. My bet is he was a bored watch keeper on a small survey vessel layed up somewhete in scandahoovia.

Maybe, but what does it prove? It is good evidence that somebody followed up my link to British Corner Shop and ordered a tin of custard to be sent c/o Skudi Industri. That person may or may not have the first name Robert, and may or may not be the owner of a laptop visible in the background. He clearly has the use of a desk or shelf but it's not a very nicely finished shelf (is that a bare edge of laminated chipboard in the foreground?) and the seat behind looks like vinyl. The person who ordered the custard has enough spare money to buy a rather expensive tin of custard but no suitable boat to include in the photograph, let alone a 50m "yacht" conversion, and although it does look as though the picture might possibly have been taken on a boat I'd say it is not of yacht fit-out standard.

That evidence is not good custard.
