Not Ferry Funny
Thought we heard on the radio that the IOW Ferry got a bit friendly with the dock in Southampton today?

Anyone got details?

Doesn't sound like a gentle nudge either!!!

Still you should see some of the Greek island ferries in action - no wonder they have railway sleepers stuck all around them!!!

Yep they did hit the link span and the whole thing has collapsed!! That'll probably mean the ticket price will go up again.
