Yes, the world is full of annoying expressions these days.
I don't like "a level playing field".

Sorry if this is going a bit off topic but a few mentions have been made on this thread of the book 'The Inviting Shore'. The book came out back in 1996 and on the front cover of the copy I've got it say it's 'Part One'.

My question is, was a 'Part Two' ever published? If so I must have missed it.

A good question! My copy is in front of me as I was reading about Noah's Ark & I am wondering the same. "Google" search perhaps?

There is no Part 2 because the writer, Anthony Miller, retired from writing.

Note that the first pics still have a fair piece of the bowsprit in place, wonder what the time difference was between the pics. Don't suppose we'll ever find that one out. An very interesting thread non the less.
