If you really want to know whats "up and happening" you need to go to UKRGB.

Not a lot of water in most of the rivers up North. The South has been
threatened with drought orders this summer - so I guess not much down
there either.

Had some excellent sea paddling recently - no Orcas though. Rivers are a bit
on the bonny side.

Haven't seen a lot of snapping at each other, or maybe I'm getting
immune from it from the regular bloodbaths on uk.rec.scouting and the
little comments here don't have any real impact.

Bizzare that an organisation priding itself on "fellowship" is plauged by so
much bitching - both internally and on newsgroups. Petty and sad.

Anyway, backstabbing, whingeing and blaming other people should make
you feel right at home anyway. After all that's what the UK is all
about nowadays :-P

Interesting view - Mike.
