Feeling aggrieved

[byron]

Just had to order a total of 28 scaffolding planks at huge expense to shore up my river frontage. Not for my own benefit but to make life easier for visiting Yacht Clubs. (I'd already put in about 40 last year.)
I'm seriously thinking of just allowing the bank to deteriorate in the future. Maybe I'm in a mood but I'm beginning to think I'm a Mug.
Rant over.

Those planks are one of the ways you keep in contact with your many friends and associates Byron. Lose the planks and you'll lose a way of life. You are a very generous landowner who brings happiness to many on the river. A mug you aren't!

Its certainly appreciated, you are all that is keeping some clubs alive as they have no where else to go!

how do scaffolding planks (normally pine) measure up in terms of durability and taking a bashing ?

Ideally elm would be the timber of choice, but there isn't much around. I can do you some very nice thick green oak if you want some (treatment with arsenic for a really long rot-free life is no longer an option, sadly. )

Yet to take advantage of your generosity, but I do know that it is very much appreciated amongst to boating community on the Thames :encouragement:

Maybe you need to organise a working party that just happens to coincide with the next big event.

Or ask for some donations from all these clubs that seem to enjoy your largesse.....

I have to state that some clubs are VERY generous with donations which we give to charity. I'm feeling better now I've kicked the Cat and hurled abuse at the Ducks.

Having now had the benifit of your hospitality Byron, I can assure you it is very much appreciated

What a wonderful place to hold a gathering.
