me neither..but then I don't tax my grey matter over stuff Foxy posts... it'd just confuse me to much I don't think he has an original thought in his head - he is just a wiki trawler. you don't imagine for a minute that he understands half of what he posts, do you? No probably not...

Why does foxy become the focus of attention on any/every thread?

That was quick - she's bought her plane ticket already, direct from Finnair, 260 Euros return Helsinki-Heathrow (that's not a bad price - 30 years ago the cheapest was around 400 Euros, so in today's price's should be around 600 Euros). Out on Saturday, back Thursday. So that gives us Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed to do Banbury -> Oxford. Not a bad stetch for a first-timer to the canals? Train ticket already bought Marylebone to Banbury £5.50. Oxford to Paddington tickets can be bought for £5.40 so we'll get one ASAP.

Why does foxy become the focus of attention on any/every thread? If he posts more than everyone else then its like the 'me me' child in the classroom... Gaffers thread on his boat and the Rugby thread are safe as they don't get his attention I can skim past much of what Foxy posts as its just cut n paste and Im more interested in reading the real comments from people..the who they are personas come through ..though folks in real life not always how imagined on here. So for me he is not the focus of the majority of threads and each to their own Foxy likes trawling the net for random cut n paste I couldn't be bothered..in fact Ive never posted a link cos don't know how

Ross is a lovely man in real life and I've got all the time in the world for him. He and pirko are welcome to have a cup and of tea anytime when passing. But the twadle that his net persona "foxy" brings forth I haven't got time for. It's a shame really. But Ross your welcome anytime.

I think it likely that it would be the end for a large part of an industry and the death knell for many historic vessels that nobody will be able to afford to keep going. Some of the ramifications of this are only just beginning to come clear to me .... and the more that do, the more horrified I am. In a similar vein, I was told when I was in Blackpool recently that the reason (nearly) all of the historic trams had been replaced with the Flexity 2 fleet was that the old trams were unable to comply with recent legislation requiring all public transport to be wheelchair-accessible. I have no way of verifying if this is true but if it is then I'm thinking it would have been cheaper to give every disabled person in Blackpool free taxis for life along the entire route than to replace an entire tram fleet. I think you will find that the Flexity 2 fleet (18 in total) are the main timetabled fleet, brought in for efficiency on the regular timetable. They have a capacity of 74 seated plus 148 standing. The balloon fleet (9 in total) are classed as heritage trams and do regular short trips in season, most now have modified wider doors. The main heritage fleet consists of some 42 trams, some in various states of restoration and are brought out for special occasions such as tours, the annual lights and peak summer trips.

Wow, you really shouldn't spoil someone's rant against people with disabilities with The Truth. Still, it's good to know.
