Own your own marina ?

Of course, this makes perfect financial sense.

Assuming the place gets free staff, maintains itself and attracts no business rates, or deteriorates....etc ad nauseum...:disgust:

Yep; of course, they would be the obvious suitor.

PS you fixed that 'one line of code' yet? :D

Apparently they spend £m's on software every year, to do what one wonders? I suspect on SAP to send out invoices to airlines, 'cos it obviously isn't on code to manage flights.

More thread drift on same topic - I guess you have the same incredulous reaction to stories of £bns being spent on software, only to have it written off, when there is no software that could cost that much. The Times reported that civil servants, forced to use smaller companies, were disbelieving that said small companies could charge 2% of what the department had previously paid, only to find they did a better job.

That's a cracker, proximity to the rail line is the only downside.

That looks familiar. We used to moor our boat many moons ago just upstream of that bridge. The agents have been very cunning and taken the photos right at the top of the tide; a lot of the time there's a hundred yards of stinking mud on the foreshore. I'm not sure whether its still there but there used to be a very large scrap yard about half a mile downstream on the opposite bank. When the wind was in the wrong directions, sometimes our boat used to be covered in shards of steel! Still it seems like a development opportunity; what's it worth tarted up? Looks like a nice big plot

The scrap yard is gone, however there is a lot of industrial activity in the near vicinity and as you say, there is plenty of airborne debris. You must have been moored in a very interesting area, I keep meaning to go see if the steam tug is still there.

Not much water, mostly mud...

Given that a SIPP is a peronsal plan, I guess we couldn't pull together a SIPP/co-operative to buy?

Aside from the legalities (and me being completely utterly shonky in most respects) I doubt a group of like minded individuals could ever be sufficiently organised to pull it off.
