Forest Hillbilly Flag in a hidey-hole 12 Oct 17 3.53pm Send a Private Message to Forest Hillbilly Add Forest Hillbilly as a friend

around 2002, I recall driving to work through Wandsworth at 5am on a Friday 13th, to see blue flashing lights ahead.
As I got closer, I could see a Ferrari from the Macari showroom embedded in a lamp post.
Great start to a day

My boat is being lifted from the River tomorrow and taken to dry storage for the Winter.

On Friday 13th,. . . Part 2 ?

Last year this happened v v v see photo below
Obviously it fell off the trailer, . . at a moderate speed Please not again

Has to be done today as a crane is booked to lift about 20 boats out of the water at £40 a pop. Imagine the cost if you booked a crane just to lift your own boat !

more updates and photos later

Try not to run over any black cats on your way to the harbour......

You're doomed, the boat will be matchsticks before the Chelsea game, may as well head off down the pub now.

Managed to avoid a head-on crash with some prlck overtaking on a bend this morning.
The reason the boat comes out the water are for the following reasons. Environment Agency pumping stations pump water off farmers fields in the winter months and the River Rother level can rise by 9ft overnight.

When the levels drop after a few days , you are left with this,....

Funny enough we have just had a report at work (EA) that an unmanned Boat has crashed into a Headwall in Arundel.

As an aside a lot of the farm land that is drained (IDBs) and pumps are no longer controlled by the EA but have been passed to the Landowners.

We're not all in the same boat, are we?
Only have a gravy boat here. Never been on the gravy train.
