Champagne bottle still over bow.



    Can almost hear the Gardner doing 300 revs, great shot, and boy isn't she coming on a treat up the river.

    it was good that decom monies were paid out, but mandatory destruction of vessels was high-handed and heavy-handed. It stems from Brussels as a result of abuse of the system early on

    its the only industry in the EU where mandatory destruction of machinery is required when decommissioned before pay-out
