Fairfax those fox cookies look AMAZING!

We need a special song, possibly to that tune "The Wheels on The Bus." I'm not nearly as clever as you lot but it could start with...

As you can see I'm no good at this, so if like the song you want to sort it out then go for it.

Gramgram,

Actually, that cuts to the chase perfectly (especially the first line, let's be honest).

Kids' buses' Nannies have deemed it valuable teaching tool in educating their young charges in the ways of C("fucker" censored for delicate ears, obviously)N avoidance.
Basket had versions of children's songs, too. But I can't remember if they were 'adult'.

Nacho, Aww...lovely boy.

millie aka Coach Trip Musical Director,

I'm SO sorry...scrolled through too quickly and missed reading a load of earlier posts, including yours. Blush

Excellent suggestions, though we must adhere to majority vote-winner of modern coach(es) as main transport.
(But with supplementary vintage bus(es) for those who like the idea/ or are hoping for muscular tow men ).

Yes to:

  • you and your silver baton Smile conducting passenger renditions of selected MNer-compositions
(Everyone better get practising! see Trello board category "Songs Inspired By This Saga" here ).
  • add-on Glamping component. Readings from our "Poetry and Literature" category could even be dramatically performed round the campfire.
Anyone good with an acoustic guitar? Erecting a yurt? Slinging a hammock between trees?

Master Edward C. Bun is very, VERY unimpressed with CFNs and CFBs.

VERY UNIMPRESSED I SAY.

Sorry guys but I must place mark. It has taken me nearly two days to read the lot and my phone keeps messing up.
You are all amazing. All of you.

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 07/08/2017 06:15

I'm desperately trying to catch up having lost the threads at #7. Are the CFN who Watty has seen/spoken to the actual owners or just the builders?

littleredpear · 07/08/2017 07:05

Yes been away for 3 days - who are the CFN? Owners or developers? Watty have you spoken to them?

Foreverhopeful22 · 07/08/2017 07:13

Looking forward to the updates

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 07/08/2017 07:43

CFNs, current situation:
Happy to stand corrected, but I think Planning/ Heritage bods are investigating exactly who's who re owners/ developers/ builders, following on from Friday's result?
OP Watty expecting plan of action phone call from them later today.

No sighting of them over weekend.

Mablethorpe just gets better: it apparently has a seal sanctuary/wildlife rescue place...and the beach has a ruddy sand train.
