Knock knock.... Who's in?

So headed off to Birmingham on Wednesday to visit my mate Fred at RBS - hoping he would share some of the £693K annual pension of his.
Actually visiting the head of Lombard vehicle management, owned by RBS, who is a friend of mine, hoping he would share some of the work he has on!!!
When I came out of their underground car park in the city centre, there was a sign right in front that said "gas street basin", so thinking, one friend to another, I set off to re-park the car, and walk into the basin. NB Mr David was easy to find, but alas David and Brenda were no where to be seen. I posted a card through the back cabin hatchway, but guess it will probably get lost somewhere!! Last time I saw Nb Mr David was at Lyons Boatyard when I picked up K2, a lot of water has gone under her keel since then.
At the other end of the walkway, away from the basin, is the home turf for the "Away for a while" holiday and restaurant boats. Andy and I met these guys a couple of years ago when out on Khayamanzi, they were filming for a Japanese TV show about quant little England!! Guess what - they weren't on board either!!
So a fruitless visit, and I drove the 27 miles back to K2, remembering that the trip took a week to complete a year ago!!
