Chesters, how about telling us the story in the form of an article for Elton. After reading some of your comments in the past it should be amusing and a bit of fun.

Give it some thought

When the first pontoon moorings were put in in Weymouth harbour, there was then room for dozens of us that had been on the waiting list for ages for a chain and sinker mooring. Anybody who lived outside the borough (like me by 150 yards) had to pay 50% more than those living inside. Times change. Beauracrats have short memories. Recently, locals were accused of getting a '33% discount'. I gave up mine years ago. Since then it's all been privatized. Lots of big stuff owned by 'Kimberlins'. No room for locals on the national minimum wage.
