Thanks to all concerned.

Many forumites will be aware of the unfortunate accident which happened earlier this year involving my brother near Beachy Head.
He was finally found by a lady walking her dog along Eastbourne Beach.
Funeral will be taking place later this month.
There is a MAIB investigation going on at the moment and we hope to get the findings very shortly.
Thanks to all who expressed concern and especially to the Air Sea Resue Helicopter crew and NewHaven/Eastbourne lifeboats who attended the incident under the most adverse conditions.

OG.

Amidst the sadness there is also the great news that Fred's daughter - the SarahT after whom his boat is named - gave birth to twins last week, one of each and Fred now has to get used to sleeping with a grandmother …. or should we be commiserating with Sue ? Either way its congrats etc.

Do you a swap and NO RETURNS.
Your skip full of toys for....... 40 years worth of clothes that no longer fit out of the wifes wardrobe ...Deal or No Deal ?
Ps.You may well need to clear your street to enable a couple of low loaders to park !
