Mark, we go down to Swanage quite a lot (there last week); it always seems sunny. A really unspoilt victorian town. Love the walk from Knoll Beach (Studland) up to the ferry - then across to Sandbanks and a wander round. From coming off the ferry on the road, which is 'Arry's house. Does Jamie live along there too?
Normally go via Wareham but heard the A351 is a nightmare at the moment so used the expensive and always full ferry. They must take

I could go on about the problems we have due to abled bodied people parking in a disabled bay but it would be wasted on people like these. May be we should restart what Hitler used to do and terminate disable people and then they would not have a problem.
Disabled people do not choose to be so and they still deserve a chance at life, if that means disabled parking bays are required to make things a little easier, the least abled bodied people can do is respect their needs. If they have problems with this then I really do feel sorry for them. Because we use a whellchair it has not stopped us from making the most of life, we have got up mountains and toured Europe on the back of a motorbike, yes we had to be lifted on and off but we did not use the disablity as an excuse not to do it.
From my experience of this website Motorcyclist are far more friendly and helpful than what we have experience here. Unfortunately we can no longer ride a motorcycle that is why we bought a Silverstone S2000 5 years ago
you're not Scottish are you?

Don't suppose you've got a pic of the ferry Mark?

I think it may have come from up here iirc.

Nice Sandbanks is the most expensive place to live in the world after London, New York and Hong Kong I believe. I live a few miles from here myself. As for Harry Rednapp he eats a lot in a nearby Restaurant called Cafe Shore, he was in there a few months back with Frank Lampard senior but never asked for my autograph

Hi Geoff - Jamie has a place over the back near Shore Road. Have never seen him though.

I see Darren Anderton out a lot - still odd to stand next to him and think he scored some cracking England goals He's quite a quiet chap though.

Jamie - H also eats at an Indian which a pal of mine owns.
