I make no apologies for posting this photo again, of Maureen the last time we passed through her lock. An incredible character whom once met, was never forgotten. How ironic that she passed away on St.Paddy's day! As half an Irishman I shall raise a glass of Guinness for her today. I do hope that the folk of Middlewich pay homage to her in some way. RIP Maureen.

Apols. Tinternet is playing up tonight, hence above non posts. Usually battery companies will give a 'lifetime guarantee', not for us but for the battery. They assume that they will be beaten to death, so it is unlikely that you would be able to make a claim against them. When it dies its over its 'lifetime'. Batteries on boats are a 'consumable' commoditee and as such will need to be replaced over time. Have to replace my domestics after 6 years soon (wet lead acid open), and think that I have got my monies worth. Look after your batteries and learn how to maintain them which will extend their life and make your 12v experience more pleasureable. Knowing the electrical layout on Dog House, replace like with like; battery box fittings etc, and you won't go wrong. The likelyhood of getting a refund from a battery company is about as likely as a snowflake surviving in the Sahara.

Here Here,,as I said in my post I often chat to a Lady Traveller (I do not know which of the two sites she is from) she is a very nice polite person and we have a good chat about all sorts. you can not judge everyone by the actions of a minority!!!

Don't forget that Nick has a full time job and a family so work on Canalplan is done around his work and family commitments. If they are flagged as new it means that he's not yet reviewed them. At the moment we're locking down parts of the system as spamming scum are trying to use Canalplan as a redirector so they can peddle their filth and porn and disguise their urls so that they don't get picked up by anti-spam engines. Its not working for them but its throwing errors which we don't want. Steve

So you get a head .......... next he'll want you to fit the thing. Sorry but if he can get to a pub he can surley get a crime number and complete a claim for the repairs . Same with BW, all he needed to do was call them and tell them he has a problem. Why has he done nothing for over 3 months?

David, Really pleased to hear it's all back together. Looks like a bit of a dent in the wallet though. It really looks the part, (unlike my poorly preserved BMC green, with various bits now peeling away). I guess you'll be really glad to be able to use it again...... I would be interested to hear how much more sound reduction you get by using the new stuff rather than just a felt based lining. Alan
