Just an observation.............

[boatone]

Passing Thames Motor Yacht Club today....(that lot by Molsey Lock) and there were 8 boats on the outer pontoon....alll around 35 to 40 feet.
Now get this (Clive, are you listening???) of the 8, one was a Fairline soomething or other ....ALL the rest were BROOMS !!!!
Now, heres the question......does this say something about Brooms or is it a reflection on the people who belong to the club?

As an aside, there was a Pr*nc*ss xxx (like Byrons) a bit further up the river....why do people in posh boats think they dont need to move up the waiting area at locks.......??? (belonged to the aforementioned club as well.......)

TMYC always put their poshest boats on the outer sprig so they are on display (I have no idea why /forums/images/icons/wink.gif)

Don't judge a book (or boat) by it's cover.

There are plenty of poor pratts, aswell as rich ones!!

If they put the best boats on the outside then its a shame they can only put Brooms on display!.....

The Fairline is a Fairline Turbo

Are you sure it wasn't a pump out station rather than a Broom.

Easy mistake to make.

yada yada..

I now know the boat you refer to and I have come across their ill manners before. Unfortunately those sort of people add to the regrettable reputation that club has built for itself.

Oh what a shame, and I was gonna joint and bring some class to the joint!!/forums/images/icons/wink.gif

OK, to hell with it. Unbolt it and we'll use it as an anchor!

Go on Barry, and turf off all those Princess, Fairlines & Brooms and get some real class there.

I was once invited to tie up there in, wait for it, my narrow boat! That was when narrow boats on the Thames were a novelty.

Instead of which Narrowboats are now considered an infestation. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
