Please forgive the absence of Sacha and Dave Poole


LOL Sacha was last seen rolling barrels into the back of a truck.

I did rather envy them those which, as our local paper put it, will
undoubtedly end up planted up in somebody's garden, somewhere! Apparently
they're worth about £100 each!

So they are empty. Just as I thought.

I've just read the DT report which says some of them were empty, some had
wine in them. People have taken thousands and thousands of pounds worth of
BMW motor bikes and BMW car spares; there is a wrecked car lying upside
down at the edge of the sea and apparently near fights broke out between
groups who thought they had first dibs on some of the motor bikes. I
believe there's even some kind of 4x4 vehicle there. People were on their
mobile phones, ringing friends in the motor trade to find out what e.g. BMW
engines were worth.
The Swedish couple who were reported as having lost a container load of
goods, say that while they are insured, much of their stuff is irreplaceable
as it was family china, glass, pictures etc. and there are photographs of
men breaking into the container to get at the contents. There is zero
excuse for that because the container was whole and could have been rescued
and returned to its owners.
One man is quoted as saying that there's a 'good wreck' roughly once every
25 years but that this is 'the best' ever. ;-((
