SPOTTED - 'Was it you?' thread

[Phantom]

Excellent, how did you fare?
For the Toppers it was National Series #1, son got 84 out of 130, so not too bad, daughter not so good 114, but then it is her 1st event on the 5.3 sail as she is transitioning from the 4.2

That's good as was a windy and tidal and some serious competition and I'm guessing older kids. But atleast they are getting better I'm getting worse 4th last year 7th this year! I'm a little lighter than some of the big guns so wanted a nice F2-3 but got 20 - 25knts and needed weight to get through the short chop upwind and downwind legs where I'm quick were short as with tide. But a really good event!
You do get around! Where next?

Yes, every single person but 3 ahead of him are squad sailors in 1 guise or other.
Draycote Water this Saturday, Banbury SC (home event) for a local Northants Youth series race Saturday after. Then it is Pitsford Water (Northampton) the weekend after that, and Carsington (Nottinghamshire) the weekend after that.
Sounds like we had the same level of wind as you, being just round the Kent/ Essex coast. We were on 22 gusting 26, with 6 knots of tide. Lots of chop as well, but short wavelength so constant hammering.
Still, you’d beat me no probs.

Just spent the last weekend Up-Norf from London.

Newcastle area was the destination, . . . . . to sample the local delicacies of "Chip&Gravy" and "Brown Ale".

on the way up the A1 Motoryway on friday we saw these guys.

So if it was you, hello from us. . . . . . . . . Cracking Vans BTW.

[DaveyB]

Mmm chips n gravy. That’s not just a northern thing. It’s a proper guilty pleasure of mine and I live south of the middle.

 

[Lord Mfwic]

Gotta love chips n gravy. Thats my lunch sorted.
Off to the chippy.

 

[Dellmassive]

Our chips&gravy come with "batter bits" too . . . . . . . ? tho it was very nice after a few Ales =]


its seems the other local dish was:

Saveloy dip: north east…

Google

Everyone knows it’s difficult to photograph fast food, but this image is particularly repulsive. Not quite as adventurous as it sounds and hopefully not as disgusting as it looks, this north east staple is a smoked sausage sandwich which is dipped in gravy or fat, before being bedded in stuffing, mustard and pease pudding (a local spread made from split peas).

And just for balance . . . . .

here is my local delicacie.



Pie and mash:

Pie and mash is a traditional working-class food, originating in London. Pie, mash and eel shops have been in London since the 19th century, and are still common in East and South East London and in many parts of Kent and Essex. The shops may serve stewed or jellied eels.Wikipedia

i dont do eels, but do love a bit of chilly-vinegar on them-thar-pies =]
