Missed the Boat right enough


With my normal attention to detail ;) - I missed this first time.

Do you mean he's no longer providing the service at all :( , or just that he's stopped for the winter?


When I phoned him told me that the service looks as though it may be finished for good
Did'nt tell me reasons - but stalker at Barrisdale told me that it just was'nt paying for him.
And some people were complaining at cost (£24 return ?) - I would have gladly paid that
