I make no apologies for the length of this post, nor for the flagrant thanks that are owed to those involved.............
Once upon a time (about 2 weeks ago) I asked on here if anyone lived near Weston Super Mare. I had many replies but one ticked all the right boxes.
I won the Ebay auction and had difficulty with the seller so had to send the boys round no not The Boy ::)whilst I went to Jersey on holiday.
Mr Holy Count spoke to the Ebay chap and paid him cash as requested demanded. However he has a saloon so he linked up with HN03GOH, who also has a saloon, but who's mother has a kayak friendly estate. :)
So off they went, only to find her MOT had expired. So plan B, they turned up in a Renault clit with the seats flat to the floor at the block of flats in Weston.
None of the 16 flats were numbered, so they knocked on the first door. They were met with a Pole who spoke no English. And another. And another, until they finally found our host - also Polish
He spent more time saying goodbye to his boat than he did to the guys, took his money and went. :-?
The Holy Count, then kindly bubbled wrapped and labled the boat and his wife waited in for City Link to collect it. Far and above the call of duty.
It arrived at my office the next day and was in the river an hour later. :y
To me this is the true spirit of this Forum and is a credit to its community....as the Holy Count and I have never even met.
So once again.......
Thanks Kev :y

OOF does have a good feel to it ,and to know that if any member of OOF wins the lottery tomorrow that they will willingly share it with me is a comforting thought. :-* :-*

Loads of room then :D
Next one I've seen is in Fort William - but it's a foot longer and carries 60 litre extra volume - may be a tight squeeze in a clit. :-/ ;D

Does that make H.C a wrap-artist? ;D
Well done to all concerned.....good job too!: or somebody might`ve been up the creek without a paddle kayak. :y
