"It's about 250 to 300 years offshore"
Nice typo Auntie Beeb
Cheers, David
Meh, space and time are the same thing.
The BBC and accuracy, however.....
I'm sure someone will find a way to blame this on Brexit.

Well you could say it's a natural illustration of how the EU will retract their good-will (and physical goods more likely) to sit 250-300yards offshore and leave us stuck between rocks and a hard place. And it will probably take a good number of years (agreed BBC editing is appalling these days) to sort out. Wishful hoping will get us nowhere however, and just like trying to tell nature what to do we will have little power to persuade the EU.
As a tangent - has anyone apart from me ever tried to notify the BBC of errors in their articles? Not just typos but factual ones? Dismissive and disinterested doesn't come close. They're not a patch on what they used to be.
Irish beach, British sand. It got delivered there by accident, due to a Royal Fail labelling error.
But we're leaving now, so we have to take our non-EU compliant sand with us.
definately...
and if not Brexit... then it's Apple... or the Russians.....or Google...
most likely Facebook....
but SOMEONE STOLE THE SAND!!!!!
Good point.
If it's in Ireland, it can't have anytjing to do with Brexit, because nothing in Ireland has or has had any bearing on Brexit.
I think your sarcasm detector might need a service.
Explanation of comment - it's a beach, never mind where, and wave action. But ket's face it, everything else seems to get blamed on Brexit, so why not this, or an earthquake, bird flu, alien invasion?
<end sarcasm>
I'm far more forgiving of tentative connections like that when they're funny
Ouch. I'm wounded. Hurt, even.
PS. I did think the big grin on the original post might have been taken as a hint at a lack of seriousness, but obviously I was mistaken.

Also, a bit of a bitsa, including a portion of Francais in the old gene pool. And a part-French wife.
Mind you, French in addition to English, Irish, a portion of the family tree that we've traced to 12th century Scotland, some Azkenaze jew, a slice of Singaporean Chinese, a large chunk of the family living in Germany. And, currently, USA, Australia, New Zealand .... and that's what I can remember, off-hand.
If we appointed a family Secretary General, we could give the United Nations a run for it's money.
