What ship are they using to replace it?

Hmmm... I didn't realise PO still had so many ferries to be honest (no sarcasm)

I'm sure the management will do all they can to reduce their profitability and soon close them (that was sarcasm.. but only just)

Pride of Bruges was drydocked previous week with Norcape deputising - the Brit ships are usually next to drydock..

Do they check the steering, brakes, emissions, headlamps and seatbelts? And if they find something wrong does the examiner whistle through his teeth and say "'bout 'had it mate"... "Still, I can fix it for you with a bit of work. I can do it a week on Wednesday for you, guv."

Have you thought about taking advantage of our weekend promotion, Sir, and trading in your pride of hull, for this classic 1986 built, ice strengthened cruise ferry. GUARANTEED only one careful owner, (and Pee and OOW after that). 37581 tonnes.

We can have it ready for you any time from 28th September 2010.

I doubt peeandooo will be happy at spending any money. THe crew will not be happy about being stuck there, the dock workers will not be happy about having work to do and the ship is made of steel so is neither happy nor unhappy... ???
