Hactually we were in a Commercial Port today
With matching anoracks.
Lots of business went on however
We were not just 'Anorackin' this time
The following is all true
The Invoicing was really quite difficult
As some transactions Nautical and land based are
Todays mix still has the MCA the VAT the Dept of Trade an Industry and most of The Welsh Assembly working through the night we believe.
Yer see
Dave bought a RIB
I sold a Dinghy to Alex (which was Daves) who has just bought a Crowline 26 and Terry was selling his Pajero that Dave fancied so we dealt on those but the Citroen Dave had Terry didn't want so I have to dispose of that but Terry had an Alsation that Dave fancied so we sorted out that deal.
Terry wanted a rib so Dave pointed one out for sale which Terry is looking at Tomorrow
Now the auxilliary engine on the RIB that Terry is looking at might do for the RIB that Dave has bought, because Terry wants a bigger one that I have just taken in PX but the Title of the bigger auxiliary is still in abeyance
Kinnel
I wished I,d have stayed as a Booking Clerk with British Rail 45 years ago
Life seemed so simple then.
And all the Engines looked like Thomas!

sounds like you all need to learn to share :D
 
The most beautiful little tug I ever saw was in Amsterdam. It was only 3 metres long, perfectly scaled down, black and light brown livery, steam driven. Moped tyres all round the gunwale...AW !..I fell head over heels in love with it straight away. Was owned by a father and son. No, they would not sell it, no...:(...Sadly no picture..

All that wheeling and dealing Kwacka, sounds a bit like Anglesey's version of Arthur Daily :)

Never heard of it.... I must be too young! Yippee

just googled it, and was published 1946 (no wonder I hadn't heard of it).... but then it did say "As of 2001, Scuffy the Tugboat was the eighth all-time bestselling children's book"... which just shows the love for tugboats!!!
