I see the river inspectors now know who they are, either that or the support a Glasgow football team.. The launches now have the word Ranger in two foot high letters emblazoned on the side. That's a rather clever fend-off. No good for dangling over the stem-head though. Blowed if I can see how a name could be painted on a cut-away transom like the above!

I believe that he's even got it onto the BA's Smart Car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk and Suffolk Broads (pseudo) National Parks Ranger. Easy, as you might expect!

Good article, could make for some squirmy rear ends! that made me outright laugh, the number of architects plans that I work with that somehow when at the correct scale dont fit into the ordnance survey map (also at the correct scale) when the two are overlaid, and you think to yourself someone is going to have fun building that, I mean its not rocket science, you buy the digital map from the OS and its at the correct scale, so how can you get it wrong? 3 minutes ago, petersjoy said: Perhaps he's building his Retirement cottage. perhaps he is preparing his retirement career- curator of the acle wonder.

Islander Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 At least, Paul, that would be inside budget and being nearly all recycled materials, much greener than the proposed structure. Colin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I am sure the BA would never give planning permission for such a structure - after all it cant possibly be pretty enough and I doubt you would get it through even under the auspices of a traditional eelmans hut, even though that is probably more what they looked like than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the BA could make that cost half a million by the time all of the studies and consultations and such like have been completed, and ignored. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
