Are you safe from the ribba flikka masheen?

Imagine my suprise the other week, on holiday with the family many miles from the sea, when I found evidence of the Garfish and his evil "ribba flikka masheen".

Seems to me he has moved development away from the Solent while he fine tunes it. From previous sightings, this seems to be the new Mk VI version and it has completely mangled an Ocean RIB.

Obviously no great loss this time, but watch out, you might be next!

John

From the state of repair of the rest of the machine, that was probably their lifeboat

Will put money on this making an Listing on e-bay soon, as a good winter project and how the tubes only have a slow leak “needs topped up after a week or so”
