Just imagine if the marina was run by a competent harbour authority…..
Nonsense that it’s taking so long

These last two….brilliant!!

scary! glad you discovered the problem before it burst into flames

Is that why screwfix in Oban has run out of extension cords!

But seriously, he does great social media (instagram: @the.electric.lobster.fusherman) and worth following
