I was thinking about your idea for me to do something on Dover...

But I am not sure what... $:-\$

"How the French took away our pride"
You could do an article about how Gordon Brown sold Dover of to the French, and how it has had an impact on Dover itself and as a port. The differences etc. the ups and downs of recent years and the going of certain ferry companies and major changes.
(We have lost our pride as a matter of fact if you think about it, weve lost the two Pride of P&O ships!)

Thats one idea you could possibly do?

Kind Regards

Matthew

im thinking of doing one but i don't think my english skills are up to it

i could go down cowes and do a artical for cowes week. history about it, what it's about that sort of thing oh, and its future. at the moment it is uncertian because scandia pulled out as its sponser two years ago and it is out of funds for next year so will it be returning?

Sound very busy Clanky

Yep, currently sitting in the business lounge at Belfast City airport, waiting to fly back for my "week" in the North sea (i'll believe the bit about it only being for a week when I walk off the stern ramp next Wednesday)

Getting a new boat?

Yes, I'm not particularly looking forward to the build stage, but this one will have a slow speed main engine and will hopefully be sailing from Mobil to Veracruz so at least the bit after delivery should be good.

GFS - Global Ferry Service

A New SS Company...

Ralphy · « **Reply #8070 on:** August 04, 2010, 10:25:13 »

TFM after you left we voted to change it, it's now Global Freight service, we now do cargo aswell as passengers

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #8071 on:** August 04, 2010, 10:25:51 »

Ah... but Global Ferry Service implies freight as well

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #8072 on:** August 04, 2010, 10:28:27 »

what about freight and passenger, or cargo, or what ever
