Just in time for the Winter rush of boats to Abingdon

Golly gosh!
What a wonderful service.
I shall now pay my extra 6% with enthusiasm.

Only took 3 months to fit a prefab metal bridge. Woeful.

18 September to 10 November - I make that a little under 2 months, not 3 months - but lets not spoil a good story with facts .......

You can please some of the people all of the time ... and the others just moan on here rather than direct their ire at those responsible. Messenger shooting is just too easy on social media. Thanks B1, good job as usual keeping us informed. Perhaps you should invite wrecktangle to the next TNUF meeting so he/she may understand how vague the EA can be.

Its a prefabricated bridge, for anyone living in the real world should only require couple of days max to fit.
You two must be EA employees so wouldnt understand.

As its nearly the time of panto. 'Oh no we aren't!'

I am seriously considering not posting information here on this forum if all it does is provide some with an opportunity to whinge and complain or, worse, attack the messenger.

Oh yes you are

Why is it moaning or whinging simply because someone doesnt agree with you? Free country, if we want to query why things are done badly on a boating forum, rather than wasting our breath with Bazzer 'M'otor 'B'oaters 'E'nemy - thats up to us.

Sounds to me that you just aint suited to social media then. Rest assured the questioning of the poor performance you stick up for will continue.

Perhaps you should invite wrecktangle to the next TNUF meeting so he/she may understand how vague the EA can be.

I suspect like many, he/she probably cant spend weekdays talking to other old retirees and maybe has to work for a living. WHich is probably why they and me get annoyed with having to slog all week and achieve something to see the EA perform whole badly yet again and you and b1 tell us how wonderful they are.

Oh and by the way, funding.......
Everywhere you go these days is short of funding but most organisations try to get on with the job they are paid to do. This stupid little bridge could have been resolved ages ago with virtually no disruption to the paying customers. Yet another failure.

I believe forum poster AuntyRinum went through the correct procedures and didn't even get a response.

Next TNUF meeting you or B1 attend could you report back how vague the EA will be if the question "Why are there half a dozen liveaboards sat on the EA moorings above Teddington lock" is asked ?

As I said earlier, I'm not a rep and don't attend TNUF meetings. If the answer you want is so important, why not ask the EA yourself.

You continue to complain to the wrong forum,

Says who, you? This forum has discussed points like this for the last 20years. If you don’t like it, maybe its not right for you?

having a pop at folk on this forum merely vents your spleen and achieves nothing.

Many times before it has become apparent that a lot more people read this forum than you think. So this is your opinion and i disagree with it.

Social media is populated with braggarts, cowards and bullies

In your opinion, i disagree and its still a free country

Content deleted

Did you just say that, is this what you call braggarts and bullies?

I have not resorted to this kind of behaviour.

I think that we both know that's not entirely accurate.

Its a quote from your post.

Apparently, we are whining and bullying. Funny I thought we were just discussing the poor response from EA.
