  1. Isn't that the other part of Gorse though? The one for sale is the front end with a new stern. I think that picture in the post above is the stern end with a new front? The one for sale. The original front with a new stern. The original stern with a new front.
  2. It was one of the cut down BW "Water" hire boats. 15? years ago a company (I think called the riveted boat company or something) got hold of it, chopped the BW back end off and intended to make it full length again. For whatever reason they started the job but the full length bit didn't happen and a chap, whose name I've also forgotten, bought the unfinished project and got Warwickshire Flyboat to rivet a new back end on. He and his partner also had Ipswich and intended to CC with them both but their plans changed.
  3. True, but mine still has some buttons, dials and switches to control heating, etc. which is better than the latest model
  4. Google Maps shows on a screen on my dashboard. No different to using a normal inbuilt satnav (which also shows traffic conditions btw).

    It’s also the name given to the hinged skylight thing found on leisure boats.
  6. It wasn’t that long ago when all that was private with only limited access to the mansion by appointment only.
  7. But what is this admin burden you speak of? We do hear it all the time how everyone is too busy to do even the most simple of tasks but I think in reality the amount of admin a boater has to do on a day to day basis is minimal. Please don’t go down the route of the food delivery apps who are constantly suggesting that shopping is a waste of one’s time!
  8. Ok, not the best choice of words but yours isn't the first post on here asking similar questions. I would like one with a few buttons. Engine start, set off, moor up, and engine stop. It would then log the times and GPS position of each action and produce a log of where I've moored, what time I started, etc which could then be exported into Excel either by day or a range of dates. An alert which detects when the boat hasn't moved for a while to remind me to stop recording would be handy. Oh, and I don't really want to pay for it. The thing with a stoppage notification and reporting type app is you need to get CRT on board really for it to be useful else it would become some sort of 'secret' club that only the app users know what is going on. "Subscribe for £7.99 a month to get stoppage notices or pay £11.99 a month for our premium stoppage alert service to get stoppage alerts as they happen" 😄 Then you have the data coverage issue as not everyone is going to have signal all the time. Also what is an important issue to one person isn't to another. If people started reporting every low hanging branch because they had to duck slightly it would soon become tiresome.
  9. Because people like the OP keep telling them that they need them to make life easier and to fix problems that don't need fixing. A company I worked for developed an app to record production data because the board of directors desperately wanted an app because "you have to have an app". They spent a lot of time trying to find something that an app would be suitable for and at the end of the day it did nothing different to what the production software did anyway.
  10. It also says "Alternatively, please contact us on 0303 0404040."
  11. I’ve always thought the ultimate mix of units are tyre sizes. Wheel diameter in inches, width in millimetres and side wall height as a percentage
  12. Just found this web page which has a few pictures. https://www.stroudiecentral.co.uk/dudbridge-to-stroud-cycle-track-and-gas-works/
  13. I, and I am sure most if not all people on here, have never heard of anyone choosing the amount of anodes depending on what canal they wish to spend most of their time on.
  14. There's a few here https://glosdocs.org.uk/gsia-rowbotham-images/
  15. You're probably not wrong however I should think that regional variations don't come in to a majority of people's reasoning for the number and placement of anodes. It certainly didn't with ours.
