It could be a Saga cruise ship for Franks 70th. Full of pensioners.

I bet Frank could entertain a lady cruiser for half the price! Very Happy

You could entertain a lady cruiser for about 50p!

The boat will look impressive anchored offshore. Hopefully this will be the sign of things to come. A feasability study was carried out to decide where ships should go to a few years ago - I think Barrow was chosen. Not much there though.

It'll really be up to these shipping lines - if they prefer Whitehaven, then the authorities will have to put their money deep into their pockets to get a few boats for ferrying passengers back and forth, or spend some cash on a pier out to deep water.

The deep water pier was suggested years ago to enable Marchon to use bigger boats.
It unfortunately never progressed any furthur than a suggestion.

This is a chance to get Whitehaven on the map and to bring some money into the town .

They wouldn't pay me in lager bottle tops
Nowadays--they want at least a tenner, three half lagers, and a health and safety guarentee
