Kopek Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Is that few, as in very few, or as in numerous? I wonder if people are put off by the seas reports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot, and haven’t, ever amended anyone else’s posts since I stopped moderating. You amended Teapots post two or three hours ago. You wrote ”Ive amended your post in the quote to reflect this.” Yes you can amend anyone’s posts in a quote but I would argue it's bad form to do so. If you disagree with what they are saying better to try and rebut it than misrepresent what they have actually posted Edited December 21, 2023 by The Voice of Reason Second para 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Valid for 24 Hours Issued on Thursday, 21 December 2023 at 4:00pm by Ronaldsway Met Office Warnings: Strong to gale force winds. Synopsis: High pressure in the mid-Atlantic, as low pressure near Norway drives various frontal features across the Irish Sea. Wind: West or Northwest 7 or gale 8, decreasing 6 or 7 later this evening. Little change overnight, then staying mainly West 6 or 7 tomorrow morning and afternoon, but possibly increasing occasionally gale 8 in a few places. State of Sea: Moderate or rough Should be an ok crossing unless the wind changes direction to make turnaround difficult Edited December 21, 2023 by Frances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get some venison for Christmas this year, I thought it would make a change from Turkey, they had it on special offer at the butcher's - 8 legs for £30. I asked the wife what she thought, she said it was too dear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
