We were testing the latest in luminous yellow technology water seeking floats. Sadly the project was hindered by a wall of tyres which prevented the float from reaching it's destination. Another attempt will be made in a few weeks time.

Ah, yeah well remembered .. there was certainly some link-up when NS came to the throne witha boat manufacturer .. car and boat were showed side by side at a boating event? Maybe Cliff had that in his mind, or scarier .. dreamed the same dream

Glad I hadn't dreamt that one up!

Was the tyre wall meant to be for added buoyancy? I'll go hide

A couple of nicely planted window boxes and a small dog in a life jacket and it'd be sorted

I'm putting too much thought into this aren't I, too much time on hands methinks
