Well……………..as much as 40-45 minutes on a bad day:p
(i.e. in the Summer when all the grockles are here)

Thanks!:D

FLOOD: Thanks for the pic and the interesting info;)

Ren Frew : My e-mailing is as bad as my photography:mad: …. I need to suss how to get a pic down to acceptable size, but I have a feeling you’ve already covered this in an earlier post – I’ll have a look for it.;) Thanks.

Mark and Flood – you guessed correctly – here is a local news item:-

Armed police arrest man in Freshwater
A man has been arrested and bailed after an operation involving armed police in Freshwater. Officers were called to an address in Solent Gardens just before 6.00pm last night to investigate reports of a weapon being seen. A police spotter plane and dog unit were also alerted. A 41-year-old man from Freshwater has been bailed until June on suspicion of unlawful possession of a firearm.

And you all thought the Isle of Wight was peaceful…….:mad:

Well he appears to have found a home to go to – maybe given up on Bembridge and spending the night on Southampton.
Could be worse, it’s a horrible night to be out!
