Answer

My grannies got a front room but it's always protected by a locked door much better than trying to protect it with laundry equipment. If this sailing lark is so dangerous because of "the Wash" why don't you try sailing somewhere away from the East coast.
I'm also somewhat suprised that you yotties get all un-necessary about a little bit of water over the boat, when I've been steaming at 10 knts into the teeth of a N.E gale off the N.Foreland water naturally comes aboard but all we do is shut the wheelhouse "door" and let the water run out of the scuppers back to where it should be. Are you telling me that you yotties try to keep it below in your front rooms? For what purpose?
Next you'll be telling me you don't leave the front room if it's raining and why on earth would you want a "saloon" aboard it must be a right bu***r when you get to the top of the pontoon gates and find them locked and reversing all the way back and parking up again must be a pain!!!
As for not knowing what brand of beer your drinking, whats your problem it's beer intit or is this another yottie thing where you have to have the label on to impress the neighbours<s>

Class distinction

So your grannie finds it necessary tolock her front room, does she? Must be because she can't trust her grandson. Spend your life motoring around (yes, I blame you for global warming too) nicking innocent law-abiding fish from the bosoms of their families, it's no wonder yer ol' Gran don't trust you.

Water over the boat is all well and good, but not on the soft furnishings. You have a wheel house door, we have washboards. You have scuppers, so do I, but as most raggies don't need walls to keep the fish from trying to get back to their friends and buddies, raggies don't need scuppers.

As to the differnce between a salon and a saloon, its irrekevant, as all the raggies on the Hamble seem to arrive by helicopter or in posh (or Porsche) jeeps.

And whilst you may be content to drink a potion known on the east coast as beer (one part mud, three parts mullet piss), we are rather more discriminating in our tastes, and prefer not to drink an apertif beer with pudding, or indeed vice-admiral.

Re: Class distinction

Ken
My grannies front room is locked and out of bounds to everyone (inc grandad). I do however remember going in there once, I think it was Christmas 1959, it smelt all musty, rather like some yotties saloons I know<s>.
I'm afraid my last trip out on a trawler didn't include "soft furnishings" What are they anyway?
Never mind nicking fish from the bosom of their families,,,I go for the whole family if I can "catch" them unaware.
BTW, I think a mate of mine caught the last cod in the southern North Sea last week at least it will save the polititions having to worry about what to do about fish stocks now,,,problem solved,,NO FISH.
Anyone want to buy a s/hand trawler?
