Cockney rhyming slang!

Ah, so this raises the perenial question of what it means to "live" <somewhere>. Could you borrow an address to tell them you "live" at? Or is the actual question "What is your postal address?" perhaps? (It might be different from where you sleep most nights.) What if you tell them you live on your boat in the Oxford area and move around? How would they know where you were on any given night? Just questions for you to consider. No need to answer them here. Another idea if you need more space on the boat is to get an additional boat. Then you could be living in two places at the same time!

I was wondering if Stimpson was actually the author of that set of websites.

Unable to turn around, presumably?

In my world, the least capable engineers sink to working for insurance companies. I've no reason to think it is any different in the sphere of narrowboats.

Fatties strike me as quite unsuited to river use. Ok, unsuited for any sort of proper boating.

You wouldn't know if you've "Not been for a while"... Or you might have been suggesting its "Not been (wall-to-wall CMers) for a while". Similarly here. I married one person and after a number of years she had turned into five. Found out what was causing it though...

The panda eats shoots and leaves.

Ambiguous!

Isn't Dukes Cut wall-to-wall CMers nowadays? Would Reading be close enough? There is an excellent train service to Oxford. Thames and Kennet Marina has bags of widebeam berths and is the only marina I can think of on The Thames that turns a blind eye to living aboard. Or used to anyway.

And best of all, mebbe we'd have fewer of Higgs' half-baked arguments about it! On reflection, probably not.
