That's fine, I have never been diagnosed as dyslexic and yes I get buy but it is slightly more than the odd spelling mistake and if others had not brought the subject up I wouldn't have mentioned it. I am still a happy bunny. PS you should tray and read something I write with a pen, not only for the quality of the writing but also my spelling gets ten times worse with a pen than a keyboard. the keyboard seems to give me a window out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this sort of behaviour incestuous! Incest, the game the whole family can play, new from M&B games this Christmas! I remember walking past a moored boat some years ago and the owner popped up like a jack in the box to hurl abuse at me for looking into his boat. When I suggested he should draw the towpath side curtains the abuse got even worse. I smiled at him and wished him a pleasant day which for some reason made him even crosser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had its own railway network,[3] connected to the national railway system from 1907–1962, via the Harborne line.[3] An original Mitchells & Butlers Brewery pub, The Queens Arms, in central Birmingham Various acquisitions included Holder's Brewers, who owned Birmingham's Midland Brewery, in 1919.[4] The company merged with Bass in 1961.[2] With the brand under ownership of Coors Brewers, the brewery closed in 2002 with production switched to Burton upon Trent.[5] The brewery was undergoing demolition in 2005.[3] The site is now a housing estate, although the Mitchell & Butler war memorial, built in 1920, has been retained and restored.[6] Their most famous beer was Brew XI (using Roman numerals, and so pronounced Brew Eleven), advertised with the slogan "for the men of the Midlands".[7] It is now brewed under licence for Coors by Brains of Cardiff.[7] A descendant company, which manages pubs, bars and restaurants throughout the United Kingdom, is still known as Mitchells & Butlers plc, and is based in Birmingham.[8] See also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem to placate him at all. This falls into the "Half past three" response which also infuriates However, I would just gently like to ask the relevance of "boorish oaf on a shareboat is"? Speaking as one myself, obviously. Not a necessary remark and surely he/she was a boater just like you? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well have been a prat, but so are many other boaters. It was the unspoken implication that boorish oaf and shareboats seem to go together that mildly rankled?
