I'd want a more modern boat tho 

I wouldn’t ....

me neither, I've been in both. The first time was similar to Tim and Pru's. that slept ten and was massive, second one was modern and tiny ..I know which I prefered and they are all set at 4 miles an hour so modern or not, you can only drive at one speed 

Watching that promo from the government. You know these volunteers. How do we know they're not passing anything on, on the carrier bags and stuff?

Prices of boats are ridiculous now Ros, plus you have berthing fees, water fees, loo emptying fees...food and socialising on top and you may as well go abroad twice

Helen went 2/3 years ago and said she loved it but wouldn't go back because of the price of the boat hire and then the cost of eating out etc and they certainly know how to rip holidaymakers off in restaurants and bars
