And all the "experts" said the marina would be OK and that water would not come over the brakewater. I glad that our council officals have great faith in them !!!

[So I take it that our anonymous commenter is suggesting that instead the Council should rely solely on its officials for everything and not take expert advice. I'll say two things:

1) How refreshing for the Council staff to get a pat on the back, and
2) If there is even a whiff of controversy about any comment, I'll expect people to put their names to it if it is going to have a chance of being approved.

Happy New Year!- Steven]

He canna even spell. Brakewater is what you should'na use instead of brakefluid in your car.
The experts never said that water wid'na come over; what they did get wrong was the first design of the marina entry. It's a lot better noo.

Is it too mischievous to point out the delicious irony of Willie correcting another contributors spelling in an entry itself peppered with spelling mistakes and newly invented contractions ? Whit's that they say aboot gless hooses an stones bhouy ?
