Re: Coll moorings nonsense from Neil Smith

Nick you are wrongly assuming I am Neil Smith...I'm not. Mr Smith loves yachts, sailing, yachties, the whole business of it. He would never write what I have written on this forum generalising yachtie behaviour. On the subject of THA, I know that CMAL have, for the moment anyway, backed down from ea...

Re: Coll moorings nonsense from Neil Smith

You seem to be missing the general thrust of my point. Let's imagine you did something for nearly 20 years that you considered to be altruistic, and indeed for the best part it was. Not a lot of money was made out of the service you provided, just enough to pay someone to collect money for half the ...

Re: Coll moorings nonsense from Neil Smith

Admiral of the Green must have been a wee bit pished when s(he) wrote his/her rambling dose of pox earlier in the thread. Please, the open university does short courses in English language, try to find the pennies to enrol on one for the sake of other forum users? Well, after that abortion of a post...

Re: Coll moorings nonsense from Neil Smith

Oh, and whilst I'm at it, I may as well clear the following up. Neil Smith is not around for half the time and asked another local to collect mooring fees on his behalf, and this other individual would keep half the money collected. As it turns out (and Neil still really doesn't understand the full ...

Re: Coll moorings nonsense from Neil Smith

Yes, the incident occurring last July was very unfortunate, and I heard about it from Neil Smith and it's the first time it has happened. I advised him to go back to the moorings inspector employed to do this job and take it up with him on a more formal basis, but on an island of 200 people where is...

Re: Coll moorings nonsense from Neil Smith

Honestly, you lot are quite pathetic. You appear to know precisely nothing about the situation and sit there pontificating and making judgements about individuals with a set of misguided assumptions and nothing else. I have known Neil Smith for 20 years. He has been sailing for nearly 60 years and w...
