Yachtsman based inland

[durham123]

Is there a yachtsman among you who sails offshore, but who lives in or near Cotton, South Derbyshire? If so please call Dick Durham at Yachting Monthly on 0207 261 6580

It\'s \"Coton\", Dick...

Actually it's "Coton in the Elms", where Church Flatts Farm is, according to the Ordnance Survey, the place furthest from the sea in the British Isles.

Hey! Here's an idea! Why not do an article about someone who sails on the sea, but lives as far away from it as it's possible to be in UK? No, you're right, it would be too predictable.

Nope, it's Church Flatts Farm as PVB says. We've had this question before, and it's on the Ordnance Survey website

Off the boat, feels like it could be Stirling.

Dick,

Not on the door step, but not too far away either. PM sent, call me if I can help.

Regards, Steve.

not in derbyshire but i reckon building a cat of 23ft beam in buckinghamshire qualifies for a masochism award!

well, certification of some sort, for sure./forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Seriously though, is your bio pic of the cat in question? Stunning achievement if so.

Why? Jimi was only pointing out to Dick that he doesn't like nylon underwear and that his punctuation isn't very good.

What he meant to write was:
"I've got cotton right next to me Dick, cos I hate nylon underpants"

Ain't that right Jimi?

Only a smutty mind would think of anything else, though for some reason it did make me laugh.
