Real boats are made of wood, silly. 

All of the narrow boats must stick to the canal not the river

Honestly ?

Surely that is just rank stupidity - taking a tin-tube on the sea - asking for trouble.

Shocking, utterly shocking. No wonder our kids are struggling to learn to read and write.

You missed the second one. Both were intentional (as i suspect you guessed).

How wierd. 

 

I didn't actually spot yours, I spotted Athy's and pulled him up on it because of his professional background (teaching).

 

Well done indeed.

And, whether or not your spill chucker is the cause, neither do we!

Ha, he was on Pointless Celebrities last night.  What an appropriate title for a special edition of the quiz show Pointless.  

He was that tanned my wife thought he was from the Indian sub continent and my sister in law who is one of those sad types who is addicted to the ‘soaps’ didn’t even recognise him.

Many years ago I was staying in a hotel in Whitchurch which has a golf course attached to it.  The bar of said golf course is his local.  He was present one evening whilst I was there and apparently he is highly thought of by the locals as he allegedly does quite a bit for the community.
