Re: New warning at Bray Marina! [Re: No_Regrets]

Don't forget to leave the boat in the shade for a while before they measure it. Heat expansion will cost you a wad!

Mind you, Mr Gates must be delighted

Ah, but it's also another chapter in the rise of the UTBM

Today, Bray. Tomorrow, the whole Thames...We will unite Birchwood owners everywhere...crush the Freeman owners like the insects they are...long live the Upper Thames Birchwood Massive....

Did I say 'Hello' by the way?

Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

Yes, we think so too.




We trust you will co-operate with us in this matter?

The Dutch build boats out of Ferrous Oxide, but there is not much wood in a Birchwood!

One of the more popular threads at the moment.

Lots of people interested in Bray Marina and the arrival of No Regrets!

Does anyone on the BCC committee know if he has been approved for membership?

(or did the Black balls get lost in the post?)

Or do they make Birchwoods out of matchsticks?
