As you are all aware, yesterday I was accused of using this forum as nothing more than an advertising bulletin board. I thought about this today during my lunch at burger king, and as I ate a large and tasty meal for one at a surprisingly low price of £2.49 with a large coke available for just another 60 pence, I felt firstly aggrieved and then within 10 minutes I felt hurt. I say 10 minutes because I can be sure it was 10 minutes due to my finely crafted Omega seamaster professional watch, good for depths of 1000 feet and yet still stylish, available at most leading jewellers for £1200 and inclusive of a five year transferable guarantee.
I merely tried to garner some like minded individuals to sail to Cherbourg with me on a beautiful yacht rather than taking the ferry, although if I was taking the ferry I would probably recommend P and O or why not relax and catch the Euro star from Waterloo only £75 return if booked in advance, remember to quote incompetent crew when booking to claim the free lucky bag give away. The main person to complain also derided my for saying that whilst I would be gaining my competent crew I would also be using the trip as a grog run.
May I ask what’s wrong with being allowed to buy some duty free whilst ashore, Cherbourg has a wonderful chain of duty free shopping centres only minutes away from the marinas and offer some of the best discounts available whilst cruising the coast of France.
Further more the trip was never intended to be just a grog run, in fact if it was just a question of grog I would rather pop into odd binns, they cannot be beaten for service, quality or on price and all of the staff are only to happy to cater for the modern wine drinker. In particular red wine drinkers may be interested to know that this week’s special offer allows you to purchase 3 bottles of merlot for just £9.99 yes that’s just £9.99 although this offer is subject to availability.
In short if a certain Mr x did take offence I can but apologise and raise my glass of Coca-cola as I say sorry.
