RE: The Yellow Duckmarine
The Mail have also corrected their article to read 'Easter Saturday' as opposed to 'Easter Sunday' since I read it and posted the link earlier on, lovely.

RE: The Yellow Duckmarine
I reckon this accident might land management of the tour in 'deep water'

RE: The Yellow Duckmarine
Don't think it will land them in hot water if it is just a simpe accident and something failed. If it's a maintenance issue then they would be in trouble, time will tell. Incidentally, there is something in the Liverpool Echo regarding the company today, just viewed it on-line. |
