I met Tim Spall when he was sailing his barge around the country. It was in a small pub in wales and he was great company. I was sailing at the time and had taken the dinghy in to the harbour with a mate. Had a few pints and were on our way back in dinghy to our moored boat when we were “ intercepted” by two very fast RIBS both carrying 5 crew with full SAS gear. Told to get on our boat , do nothing, whilst they searched. It was a 45 foot yacht so took them a bit. Nothing was said. Eventually they softened up and gave the all clear. Apparently Prince Charles was visiting Anglesey and all vessels had to be checked. Presumably Tim’s barge as well. Strange experience but by e’ck they knew what they were doing. Ps the lovely 45 footer wasn’t mine
