The Vole -- Iridium Moorings

They have put the cat amongst the pigeons with these Iridium moorings at Sawley. They shouldn´t have announced them until the new Iridium Licenses were available. Him Upstairs is not pleased. "Those bastards at Narrowboatworld will have a field day with this" was his reaction.

The IMs (as we call them in house) are to appeal to the upper echelons of the boating fraternity, or as a man from marketing put it in the gents washroom, those BMW owning gits with more money than sense who fancy a narrowboat now it´s become fashionable. He then muttered something about effin Waterworld and "status boaters", dried his hands and left!

I understand those who have already paid for their Platinum moorings are up in arms as they are no longer "the dogs bollocks" to quote one E-Mail.

That E-Mail in itself shows just how bad the Platinum moorings have become and why the even more exclusive Iridium ones are needed said AV spokesman Hugh Baton.
