Hi, Indeed, 'twas I. Still haven't got around to editing it, but perhaps in the next couple of weeks after Rickmansworth. Faffage is obviously a new word - so I want it down in writing that I created it! Now, lets see how much it can be used during the day :-) I've just run Victoria down to Limehouse ready for the SPCC barrier cruise tommorrow, though it looks like the wind may put bay to that. Thankfully because of a BW workboat/other boats coming up from the basin leaving locks full and gates open, there was little faffage to be had, even with the wind.
