According to someone on mannin line they said they heard from a very good source that steam packet we’re buying them so take your pick of rumours 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd say colliding with a jetty and being dry docked and out of service for 6 months does not meet the criteria for the statement "in those days the steam packet maintained the service in all weathers with no problems at all" even if another ship takes the next journey. But no, you go ahead removing words and missing the point and whatever other odd shit you do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, you go ahead removing words and missing the point and whatever other odd shit you do What bit of “maintained the service” don’t you understand? I very carefully explained the huge difference, between then and now. Ive no idea what you, Banker or VoR are on about. I cannot, and haven’t, ever amended anyone else’s posts since I stopped moderating. I can’t. I occasionally amended other people’s posts whilst a moderator to remove offensive material. But if you, or I, quote someone else, then the quotation is part of the post and is amendable. Ive not missed any point. You have. Your reaction might be said to bear out my amendment.
