The report is that one of the component manufacturers has gone into liquidation not the main contractor or design consultancy so there should still be a solution available.......at some time in the future.. It is worrying that the council are being sparse with the information as to what has gone wrong and who has gone bust. If its the hydraulics supplier I'm sure alternative components can be sourced and the design adjusted to accommodate them.. If its an electrical issue ,there are numerous systems integrators around that can sort it out at a price. If its the steel supplier then there may be a stress related design flaw which has pushed them into the closure . All very speculative at the moment but not good news in the short or long term for motorists or boat users /manufacturers or the RNLI

My pleasure Mick. Just been looking on Accuweather. Not looking very good. The wind will be whistling over the secret flounder mark. We'll use loads of fuel punching our way back to Cobb's.

BEST JOKE IVE HEARD IN AGES 😂😂😂😂😂... A young man called Chris from London wanted to buy a Christmas present for his new girlfriend. They hadn't been seeing each other for very long and she lived in Scotland. Chris consulted with his sister and decided, after careful consideration, that a pair of good quality gloves would strike the right note... not too romantic and not too personal. Off he went with his sister to Harrods and they selected a dainty pair of fur lined quality leather gloves. His sister bought a pair of sexy knickers for herself at the same time. Harrods had a free gift wrap offer but the assistant mixed up the two items, the sister got the gloves and Chris unknowingly got the knickers. Good old Chris sent off his gift wrapped present in a parcel with the following letter. Dear Maggie, I chose these because I've noticed that you are not wearing any when we go out in the evenings. If it had not been for my sister I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears shorter ones (which are easier to remove). These are a very delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and I hardly noticed any marks. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart in them even though they were a little bit tight on her. She also said that they rub against her ring which helps keep it clean. In fact she hasn't needed to wash it since she began wearing them. I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt many other hands will touch them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off remember to blow into them a little bit because they will be naturally a little damp from wearing. Just imagine how many times my lips will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will wear them for me on our next date. All my love, Chris P.S. My mum tells me that the latest style is to wear them folded down with a little bit of fur showing.

Looks like we are stuck in this run of strong West winds with plenty of rain. Tuesday's possible window is being blown out of the forecasts as Sunday's NW fails to lead to the brief northerly cold interval..... .....so fishing plans will rely on winds going S or SE ....and another hunt for harbour flounders ! Perhaps the extra freshwater in the rivers may help [??].
