Had we been 10 minutes earlier finishing our meal then this meeting would never have happened. We were sat having lunch in the Pumphouse pub on the Albert dock, Liverpool this afternoon when a gentleman and his wife walked in and sat at the next table to us. He nodded to me as he sat and I let on……..not knowing him, but seeming to recognise his face. I couldn't get it out of my mind, so asked him as we were leaving if we knew each otherI asked him if he built model boats to begin with, with a yes as a reply…………….. had we met at Ellesmere port boat rally…..had it been Blackpool………. Where we came from,was he a member of Model Boat Mayhem, all to no avail, until he said, "i'm a member of the Model Boats forum to which I asked his name………………."It's Tony Burton " says he …………. B****y h*** says I, you sent me a set of plans for the ST200 from Model Boats Mag some time ago to build an ambulance launch for Guernsey".Yes, I remember…your name's neil says tony. Tony and his partner had come from Lincolnshire for a visit to the docks, and we had come from Fleetwood, neither had met before, and we sat on adjacent tables in a pub on a dock side…………now THAT IS A SMALL WORLD. So the moral of the story is……if you think you know someone's face……ask them, don't be shy. It was very nice to meet you Tony and your partner. Take care and hope you soon get those elusive brushless motors. best wishes, Neil.
