if you don't mind my saying so......what is the price of gasoline in England now? if you can say it in euro? and what about the prices of new or used boats there in lets say an 8m or 10m fully customed?
beacause as i read the prices there must be VERY HIGH.... here in Greece the gas is about 0,95 to 0,98euro/lt and a boat like yours new with all accessories included and also treiler without motor is about 30-50.000euros depending on constractor.....which is about what? 34-35000 british pounds??
this is an average price.....

Petrol is about 90p a ltr Signum, which is about 1.4 Euro which is outrageous. We know that we are being robbed, but our government has to recoup some of the money that it pours into the EU for spending on less well off members.

As for your other questions, I think that Hugh the Sales/Managing Director of Jardon Marine is the man to answer those for you as he's in the boat building game.

senior executive managing director if you dont mind.....i promoted myself this afternoon as i had some free time

. I took on some new staff today, RON has joined the business looking after security.

if you could forward any questions to my young secretary before she leaves for nursery in the morning then i might be able to get one of my senior sales engineering guys to look at them after around 3.15 tomorrow when he gets home from school.

srellom....1,4????? and we say here that it is expensive!!!! 1,1-1,2e/lt we have the 100octane gas that the other is 95octane.........but in any case i beleive that in you (England) is also different and in matter of salary and other.....imagine that here the common basic salary for a new secretary lets say it about 450-600euro (308-411 british pounds).....i don't beleive that you have the same salaries there!!!!
about 90p we have the 1lt milk here.....
so propable as a country to you we are cheaper...but in our measures we are expensive....
but anyways...thanks for letting me know not to come for vacations there.....hahahhaha - - - i'd love to come nevertheless...it's a dream of mine to come and see england,scotland and irland......

swginn · 09 February 2006, 11:11

Well if you come to Ireland, not irland, Petrol is about €1.05 - €1.10 which is about 72p stg and we complain that that is high!!

For once we're not being ripped off somewhere but by god does the government make up for it elsewhere!! We pay higher prices for cars than anywhere else in the EU!!

According to the back of Top Gear the Volvo XC90 Chelsea Tractor starts at £31,235 for the 2.5T S 4x4 rising to £45,820 for the 2.9 T6 Executive Geartronic 4x4.

Hope this helps,

Signum, your english is excellent and unusually your written english is also very good. But one tiny point, vacation is an american term, for us it is holiday. I know that it is difficult to keep americanisms out of spoken "english" for non english due to american films and TV.

signum · 09 February 2006, 19:21

thank y very much....all corrections accepted....you know here we are mainly "forced" to learn at least one foreign language from childhood...
but as y pointed we see many many many american films so it is easy to make this kind of "mistakes".
the only british i remember is about 10-12 years ago that we had the Bennie hill series......all rest is american...
