Two and (a temporary linked up with one of them) from the UKHO:

1. Measurement equipment in the Lynn and Boston Deeps for a network of kit tied on the seabed and dangling 3m off the seabed - and at the edges at the low water - and unmarked -Eek!
2. Reductions on the depth off the east edge of the Goodwin Knoll, Trinity Bay and the TSS west of the Sandettie. The Goodwins are moving the edges.

Temporary

1. Wells-next-the-Sea - The flood risk for this Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th has been descaled to minor coastal flooding impacts with a coastal flood risk of LOW. Risk was about wind direction and strong but not such a problem.
2. Wells-next-the-Sea - more dredging!
3. Port of London Authority warning - CHRISTMAS 2015 ANTI-DRINK AND DRUG DRIVING CAMPAIGN.

That is it.

Thanks for that.

I hope they don't move or extend too far East, they be putting more damned wind generators up !!

I don't think so, not on the Goodwins. They'd become known as Ye Windmille Swallower.

Your quote prompted me to recheck on one of the reduced depths on the Goodwins and I mistyped '.24E' instead of '.74E'. Thanks. That is much better! Err and Dick says it will flop over for a pylon.

I didn't know thee was any space left for more on our coast. They should put them in the Solent and off the Wet country coast - then see how much the MPs start bleating.

 

[Concerto]

off the Wet country coast

Where is that?

I noted when a wind farm was proposed in Poole bay the RYA swung into action in a way that they apparently conspicuously failed to do when they were being considered for the East Coast.

Sadly I believe these is a wind farm about to be constructed South of Brighton

 

[PeterWright]

Where is that?

It may lack an s in the first word, but it serves as an accurate description of the counties of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, particularly during what the locals refer to as the summer months.

Clearly a very Freudian slip

Actually, quite deliberate, unlike most of my typos (including the 4th. word of the same post). My lack of keyboard skills serves only one useful purpose - amusing my good lady wife.

I didn't notice any typos, after all there are now quite a few people who prefer the Rain District to be known as the Lake District just like one or two like the Wet Country to be known as the West Country. These changes of the titles are intentional misleading tourist gimicks to try to suggest the Rain and Wet areas are nice. Fraud I say! Keep it up Peter.

Your irony, TG, may be nearer the truth than you think.... My Grandfather, a true Cornishman, used to say that across the 'border' was "Sunny Devon where it rained six days out of seven"

But then, we who live in the luxury of a rain shadow can afford a touch of irony
