in 2001 the decor hadn’t changed since 1973 when we interviewed some people there for the David Gregory's “Wickerman Enigma”.
I wonder if the “Nuada” fan club are casting spells to gain ownership? See less

@DrChrisParry Extra 'dad energy' points if:
You already had some of the materials needed (stored for years).
Younger types were nearby but didn't help.
In your store, you had a piece of worked timber that was uncannily the correct dimensions for the project.
@DrChrisParry Chris, as a seasoned sailor with a distinguished career serving our country, May I ask what characteristics you consider vital when designing a ship’s upperworks and how they impact its capabilities and comfort.
“They [the British people] should know that there has been gross neglect and deficiency in our defenses; they should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road…”
@chriscfox@Mike_BL Overthinking? The super yacht is actually people’s jobs, skills and industrial capability ecosystem it sustains, not simply to allow the super-wealthy to ponce around on the Cote D’Azure.
We don’t want to tax the super yacht industry to extinction.
@chriscfox Caviar on the coast of the Caspian Sea is not a lavish food. It is once shipped to Waitrose. Oysters and lobster were never lavish foods u til they became rare.
@chriscfox Not at all. I’m onboard with taxing consumption. Hence tabacco example. The current tax system is punitive of wealth creation, employment and growth, and results in lower tax collection.
But Waitrose is relevant because it won’t be any old rice.
@chriscfox I interviewed @Mike_BL about how SMEs becoming more sustainable and he said keep the vehicle well maintained and running as long as possible, as most of its emissions where in manufacture.
So if you kept a lavish car or yacht woulds its tax burden reduce over time?
