True, but you can't deny the inherent insanity of those "Midlanders"....

You gotta hand it to the PC who nicked him.. pretty observant, I thought...
Pc Edge said: "I asked him if he could see me. He removed the dark-coloured sunglasses he was wearing and I could clearly see he was blind as he had no eyes."

Honest I didn't fit the wrong size studs & mount the jackplate ass-about face. RTFM ( mind you I did say the fitting instructions were crap)

Had a little calculate I'm only managing to get 2hrs a week production 
All hull repairs are complete few mods to the deck structure I want to do as well I'm a tad heavy and I dont want to walk on eggshells.
Redone the transom after my moment of madness, Transom plate away for a new one this coming week along with the internal ones. They looked like swiss cheese shame still nice new ones will look better.
Started the rub down & first fill, at least that is going better than expected

No pics but all filled & rubbed down at last hope to have base coats on this week.
Think I'm feeling poorly wens according to the forcast on the BBC
Damp air has been a bit of a hold up though under cover it still would be affected so roll on a few really dry sunny days, once the topsides are done I'll do the lift & can put it in the open for a short while. A new Cyco transom plate soon then mount up the lifter & try to work out where the heck to put the pump.
Engine should be here 2 week of Nov just which one, Oh the bloody choices
