Rich, don't know if you recall "Shantys" - the pub next door to the castle in Yarmouth? He got done last year for smuggling £8mill worth of heroin! He'd tied it to a bouy in the solent and it was discovered by the coastguard. Think he got 5 years inside! Big news for little Yarmouth at the time!

Wow i don't recall seeing that one, but what a story. £8mill. Was it supposed to be picked up by someone then? Why didn't he just use a little boat and hop it over to the mainland himself.

When I was down there at the end of September I was on the phone to coventry and it was p*ss*ng it down. I was in shorts and t-Shirt. I love it down there and if my missus would let me I'd be working in Newport now. My company own Moreys so there is always space for me to transfer.

Really not gloating DSB. It's just that I've always worked and now, after 45 years, I have retired! And why stay in Cov for the rest of my natural? It's great down here. If anyone is heading here for a break, let me know and we can always meet up for a pint!
