  • Tragic News

    Anyone heard the reports on the news today about 2 Britons (Mark Porter and Michelle Clydesdale) who drowned off the coast of Salou, North East Spain this morning?

    Mark Porter was a friend of mine.

    He was the captain of one of the other pool teams in our local league, and was on the pool league committee along with myself. Known him for years. My team were supposed to be playing his team tomorrow night, but we had postponed the match because Mark and his mates were on holiday this week.

    I found out about 9am this morning. Sad day.

                      Thanks for your thoughts.

                      I last spoke to Mark about 2 weeks ago at a pool league meeting. He was looking forward to his holiday. The news story has been on the hourly bulletins all afternoon today on national BBC radio.

                      I don't know who Michelle was. Reports suggest that she was Scottish, and I guess he may well have met her over there. After all, he was single. Some reports also say that Mark was from the North. He was indeed a Northerner, but had lived for quite a few years down here in Suffolk.
