Having said that, there`s still plenty of mooring space beyond it. When I was fishing where the leccy point is there were no moorings, water or electricity just a bush with a kingfisher in who was catching more than me though I did catch a bat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mobile phones (which you could carry in your back pocket anyway!), no social media (which meant people talked to each other face to face), no YouTube (so embarrassing images of your helmsmanship weren’t displayed for all to see) and you could sit and fish and watch kingfishers without a boater demanding you move because he/she wanted your spot. You’d have liked it I’m sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 A 1960, now what the hell does that mean? 9 minutes ago, vanessan said: Good heavens no, life was more colourful then! (You could use the word colour then without worrying you’d said something wrong!!) Life was more colourful in a 1980? So do I want a 1980? Is it better than a 1960? I use the word colour all the time and never worry I've said something wrong. I say lots of things that I should worry about being wrong.

I'm not sure about watching Netflix on that weird rounded HD screen, but let's be honest Mr Nog....you've been trying to fix this 'TV' since this 1960 thing that everyone is talking about haven't you?
