You mention grandchildren and it sounds as if you have partner with a young child. You're obviously doing something right!!

That will be my boating partner for the day, not my 'partner' in a gay sort of way.

Strange first post by the way, it's good form to introduce yourself to the forum first.....

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence. I had taken 'partner' as female (I'm old fashioned like that!) and thought that you'd found yourself a much younger woman. I stand corrected.

Cheers, Tom (newbie, no boat as yet, reading this forum for info mainly).

Absolutely no offence taken Tom, my response was tongue in cheek.
