As this incident is now subject to a Police investigation the thread will be locked.

Requests from me, the Vice Chairman and the Head mod seem to have been ignored by some. Let me be clear, We are not a court, we are not a jury, we have no influence on the outcome and we don't have all the facts. Speculation about prior to the video and after the video is pointless. Any reports should have been made to the police and the Parish Council rather than making a YouTube video that is no doubt monetise. Now let's leave it.

Please remember our ToS when adding to this thread, particularly the ' name and shame' section.

120 miles if you have a small enough boat to get through the low bridges.

WhatsApp wasn't affected. All other platforms were.

Now known as the Ex engineer 😁

It seems to be coming back online now, might be worth waiting an hour for it to settle.

It didn't help that O2 were in the process of transferring my phone number so I didn't get any passcode numbers FB were sending 😁

Facebook have an outage across all platforms, for those that use it it will give a failed login message. Don't waste your time trying to login or reset passwords, it isn't working. I would try later, or much later depending on how broken it is.

Wow.

Hopefully, if they need to spend money it comes from the planning budget.

I am not aware of a sponsor discount other than from Brian Wards.

Aim for slackish tide if you can. I think BGM still have a small tow boat . Good luck with the move.

The signs aren't looking good 😊 Just had an email to say they have cancelled the direct debit so I can now pay manually each month 😵 Anyone interested in a box of carrier pigeons, no doubt that will arrive tomorrow 😎

I hate mobile phone companies and particularly those that use overseas call centres. My mobile has always been on a business contract with O2, now part of Virgin. I also have a Virgin TV / broadband package. If I am on a personal contract they double my data but not for a business user. I want to keep my number. I phone the business unit I have always dealt with, answered after 6 rings, as always, by a lovely gentleman with a soft Scottish accent. They can't cancel it until set up an account with the consumer side, he transfers me and wishes me luck with them. Boy did I need it. After 20 minutes it was answered by a lady with an Indian accent who spoke clearly, she couldn't help. I was passed between 6 different departments. By the last department I could understand less than 25% of what was being said despite repeatedly asking the guy to slow down as I was having difficulty understanding him. The reading of the legal terms they insist you have to listen to was laughable. I said I couldn't agree to something I couldn't understand and suggested he email them to me to read while he waited on the line. The best bit was having confirmed that I was who I said I was and I was using the handset that was registered to the number, he asked for the SIM card number, the one buried in the unit I was talking to him on. Eventually, after 80 minutes I think I now have a personal account with 15 times the data for £5 less than I was paying. The next call I have to make to finalise it is the the business unit, that will be a walk in the park in comparison. Of course I may have ordered a box of carrier pigeons and a morse code machine for all I know. How on earth can these companies get away with such atrocious service... I know the answer, they are all as bad as each other. On a happier note I had the boat insurance renewal through, exactly the same price as last year, and the year before. One of the car renewals also arrived at 50% higher, a quick search found identical cover with another reputable company for £10 less than last years premium. ( Take note BA, it is possible to control costs in an efficiently run business ) I think I may have tumbled head long into being a grumpy old git.

I am not up until after Easter unfortunately otherwise I would have tried to help

Time to tone down the personal jibes and political comments please.

If you knew about them, they wouldn't be very good at it. 😁

The Historic Dockyard and the Medway Queen are worth a visit, a fascinating place. Two fully restored ships and a submarine with full access. The buildings in the dockyard are impressive and accessible. The RNLI have a big undercover display of a whole range of lifeboats. The Medway Queen is on an adjacent site and worth seeing. There is also a reasonable hotel on the edge of the dockyard.

They say you never forget how to ride a bike, your legs never got that message. Just think of it as becoming a drinking champion, start slowly and gradually build up.

You looked very contented at the helm when you passed us between the Ferry House and Waters Edge this afternoon.
