I've been meaning to buy one of these for ages, Jill, so thanks for the nudge! I've just ordered one at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Folding-Garden-Kneeler-Kneeling-Gardening/dp/B001TW5KLM
I'm not too sure they aren't talking about the NBN, Peter. I couldn't get on here this morning and BT have had problems all day, thankfully now all OK.
We run our genny on moorings, Peter, but BB installed an underwater exhaust system and we'll silenced the engine compartment such that you really can't hear it a few feet away.
In fact BB went the no gas way back 20 years ago and installed beta diesel generaters in their boats. We have one! The BBS is certainly a much abridged version cf with a gas installation. We've had both and our present one takes only a little over half the time but still costs the same!
And a great mate of mine Mark was too! Generous to the extreme wherever/whenever we met. His larger boats are real sea boats which don't bother about a F7 or F8 to go out in! Perhaps not anywhere as fast as some planing boats but I know which I'd rather be in if caught out!
I completely agree with that, Peter. When I was onboard one with Iain earlier this year I thought just that. Aesthetically pleasing from outside, perhaps, but I'd rather have the better view from inside!
" From refrigeration when we had a fishing industry to faircraft, Herbert Woods etc he is probably the gentleman with the most business acumen in Broadland" And his sea-going boats aren't bad are they, Chris?
