IS it some three years or more since Bournemouth council were led unwittingly into believing a surf reef would be a good idea?
I said at the time, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear”, as the saying goes. A few bags of sand on a sea bed, a reef does not make.
Further more I said they were behaving like those who believed in the story of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ which you headlined a ‘Fairy Story’ in the Daily Echo.
It’s come true, alas the ‘New Clothes’ have come apart at the seams, and will cost many more of the residents’ pounds to patch it together.
