It proved something of a disaster for east London couple Christopher Miller and his wife Sze Liu Lai.I can't put my finger on why this turned out to be a disaster. Can anyone else?
The social workers wanted somewhere they could go with their children Alexion and Tayszea ...

Further Comment Is Unnecessary…
On the sad story of the ‘Grand Designs’ eco-barge washed ashore on Westcliff Beach:

By the names of their offspring shall ye know them.
I reckon it's a metaphor for the fatuous mindset of your typical urban libtard Righteous eco-loon. It's enough to make you think "Wow- there is a God, and he really hates these numpties".
Mmmm I saw that program, actually I quite liked them, they showed courage in attempting what they did, going against the norm so to speak.
Problem was they were up against the Yatching set and had endless problems with moorings, a insular set of people hard to do business with when your not following all their petty rules and traditions, I know from experience, if your not exactly like them and don`t kiss the right arses you struggle.
Lizard King- they're social workers. When they're in their work environment they are every bit as unreasonable and intransigent as "the yatching set".
Heh - two wrongs don't make a right.
When I had a boat, I was lucky enough to moor it where the people were relatively normal (they all had far more money than me, but normalish) and there were no problems. But if there's any 'yacht club' involvement, look out. With their Club Captains and their Commodores, they are like the Royal Navy, but without the humour or sense of proportion. You've never seen a rigid dress code until you have tried to get into a yacht club.
But ... social workers. Even a greasy outlaw bike club would treat them with disdain.
"it is not known if they still own it"
I often invest £80,000 in a project and then lose track of what I own. Perhaps with the "cuts!" rhetoric ringing in their ears they will be a bit more careful with their money?
Further comment is indeed unnecessary but in case you want any, I found the set which were under the original feature.

Further to the Lizard King, the fundamental problem - apart from the finance, design and build - was that they didn't seem to understand about getting moorings first.
Yachties.
At Cowes week a woman collapsed/fainted outside a very posh yacht club.
We asked the doorman for a cup of water. Seconds later we were presented with spa water and a slice of lemon in a cut glass, on a paper doily on a silver tray.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I was going to splash it in the woman's face to bring her round.
Come on blueknight you must know that when women faint outside posh places you are supposed to losen their clothes and chafe something.
"By the names of their offspring shall ye know them."
Indeed! :)
"It's enough to make you think "Wow- there is a God, and he really hates these numpties"."
:D
"...a insular set of people hard to do business with when your not following all their petty rules and traditions..."
Oh, I've no doubt. That seems to be a hallmark of any long-established club or profession, though.
"I often invest £80,000 in a project and then lose track of what I own."
It's a staggering amount to squander. Unlikely to be the product of a social workers salary, too. I'll have to watch the episode if it's ever repeated.
"...the fundamental problem - apart from the finance, design and build - was that they didn't seem to understand about getting moorings first."
I wonder, were they advised of that by the presenter? Or did he keep quiet to make a better show?
"Perhaps I should have mentioned that I was going to splash it in the woman's face to bring her round."
Heh! Mind you, a safer approach than the one recommended by anon.. ;)
