BWM Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 1 hour ago, Mac of Cygnet said: Rules and honesty are two completely different things. There are many, many businesses that do not put profit before honesty, but rules can be broken or bent without compromising one's honesty. This was a prerequisite for liveaboard life in years gone by, boaters keeping their heads down on an effort to go unnoticed. If you asked the residential question in most marinas back then, it would generally be the end of the conversation, only to find out later that on a nod and a wink, the well behaved liveaboard became both welcome and invisible.

No. It means you don't come onto public forums and make stupid posts. 13 hours ago, Nick Best said: No more than any person or supposedly responsible company / organisation turning a blind eye in the interest of making money. We must never forget that profit is far more important than rules or honesty. Tingdene are a prime example of that. Hmmmm. Yes. Looks like a bad case of sour grapes to me doctor. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does the team think Ting Dene are behaving dishonestly here as the OP seems to be alleging? I don't.

Nothing is dishonest or unusual in Ting denes approach to business, fairly standard on the face of it. The motive behind the original post, however...

Tingdene are being flexible and accommodating, two words which the OP would not recognise, as they do not sit well with 'petty' and 'bitter'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree monkey Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I've been thinking about this thread on my way home, well it is a very boring drive, the OP managed something that is rare in my time here and we should thank him, he has created something approaching a consensus, so...

I'm a fairly new moorer there. I would be quite suprised if non staff livaboards are there, it's a smallish relatively intimate place and when I started making inquiries the message is got over that's it's leisure only. Which is 100% fine by me as I don't ever have any intention of living in a boat in a marina. PS I think the respondants are collectively being a bit harsh on the OP!
