That sounds a bit like what the Green Blue is trying to achieve 15 years down the line…

Plain Robin Knox-Johnson was to open the Western Morning News Plymouth Boat Show. Remember all those regional shows we had before National Boat Shows (NBS) bought them and closed them down?

Guinness announced it was to be at the East Coast Boat Show for the first time. Readers were encouraged to get more details on the show from one Murray Ellis…

And guess what? The situation on the harmonisation of VAT in the Single Market for secondhand boats is still under discussion ‘in high places’ at the European Commission’.
15 Years later, Nigel John is still tearing his hair our on this one.

Finally, Tony Kent took over from George Cowan as MD of Simpson-Lawrence. And Jim Alabaster was appointed sales director at Camper & Nicholsons.
