Like everywhere Kerbut 
Is there any pottery left in Poole? I know Pilkington Tiles has gone and houses where going on there!
No I dont think there is , but there is a Poole Pottery on Holton Heath I/E (where Reg Bugler operates from ) ,but the type of pottery is very Claris Clift rather than the original so presume someone has bought the name.

aka “Barbecue” Bob? Following a case of mistaken identity at the “Atlantico”.

They don’t look like they used to never this amount of space,.
Hi, Cliff. Boats are much wider tis true, but the designers seem to think its not necessary to allow space for drivers to get out of cabs. I seem to remember (maybe a false memory) that the old P&O boats had a bit more free space to allow door opening? Because of strikes etc had to use Cherbourg/Poole last week. The Barfleur seems to have shrunk in the years she`s been in service! Strange how we get used to bigger boats eh?
