Back to answering the original post. I go to look at dinghy developments and just for the spectacle. We are taking our sailing crazy daughters (11 yr old) and think they will find the whole thing an eye opener.
With regard location near a mainline station important, we are day tripping from the glorious North on the Saturday so can be back for sailing on Sunday. I first went when it was at Pickets Lock which I think is Lee Valley now, not sure if that would allow some waterborne action. |

ha, brings to mind my 2nd favourite* comedy line ever Frank (grf) Burns " why does everyone take an instant dislike to me?" Trapper John " saves time Frank" * behind "don't tell him Pike", but ahead of "infamy, infamy, they've all got in in for me"

darn it, forgot that absolute gem, bubbles overcoming the Newtonian physics of mass/weight, that was indeed hilarious. conversely, the vitriolic, school-playground bullying aimed at the new kid on the block, who happened to call him out, might be a record new low and hence time for Mark Jardine to brandish a yellow-card IMHO. We should be welcoming new voices here not letting Golem intimidate them away, else we'll end up as uninteresting as SA |

We have to do research before insulting you? That will cramp things.

I get my 'kicks' as you call it out of promoting a response, any kind of response from people I regard as shy, retiring, quiet, meek, unprepossessing, dinghy sailors essentially, they never say much, pad about with beer mats sewn to their butts, have very little to say for themselves, get on with their lives, live, die even, with little remark. Now trying to get a peep out of them is like wringing blood out of a stone, so it's tough, but I somehow manage. Now you've blundered in, did you do any research first before insulting me? I doubt it, not that I mind, but I did at least take the trouble to find out what makes you tick before responding, quite why you're upset i don't know, insulting Birmingham and Liverpool? I'd do that to your face, there might be a twinkle in my eye and a wry grin, because it's meant in jest, but you wouldn't get that, it's the wood dust, woodbotherers tend not to 'get' a 'dry' sense of humour, something about all that saw dust clouding their vision. Then again, could be you're trying a bit of trolling for yourself and my my I'm such an easy target, but welcome to the forum anyway you'll find lots of allies here, they love to have a pop, but only once they have someone else's skirts to hide in. And you've responded at least, so I'm happy for that, this place needs more, if there were enough, I could shut up and just read away or stay on Facebook where most of the humorous types have gone.

You forgot the bubbles in foam sandwich making the boat float higher. Still my favourite.
