Winding us up surely!

Sorry Deleted post, as why shouldn't they keep a low profile for a while, they really feel as though they've done nothing wrong!.

 

How many boats do qualify for being a fleet?

This does seem to be a bit of advertising spam. Perhaps a mod will come along and edit to remove the bottom part about PLM.

On his/Pillings facebook

 

He's got 9 pictures of their brand new day hire boat, finishing off

 

I thought they had no money, that's why Pillings went into liquidation

Surely this would be a asset? Couldn't pay the CRTs bill?

 

Surely should be investigated, blatant taking the pee!!

We went to Skipton last year and it was brilliant. The jury is out about where we will visit this year but Pillings lock does not figure in our agenda. There is no way I would have any desire to go near the place. I like to support the canals not support business that bleed them dry!

Is there going be a presentation at the event from PLM to CRT of a donation say somewhere in the region of £180k?

 

Just wondering........

 

Cheers

Actually, it's more likely they'll have demonstrations on how to pick pockets. It is PLM, after all....

Is this person actually allowed to advertise his money making promotional day on the forum, seeing as much more highly respected and less morally bankrupt companies and individuals have previously been stopped from advertising here?

 

It does give the CWDG forum user the opportunity to see the forthcoming comments..Just in case they havn't cottoned on to the main, "dispute at Pillings one".

 

It can only mean it is another PL shooting his foot again..What a twit!
