  3. Please call Customer Services (or speak to the on-flight VLockie if they are on duty) if you think there is any chance of a failure. I'm sure Canal & River Trust would rather use an hour of the Ops Teams to check it rather days/weeks of Engineering repairs. The VLockie has access an incident reporting system to ensure it gets captured and managed if needed. (Apologies if I am teaching granny to suck eggs .....)

  9. It's a good question which I don't know the answer but in my opinion it misses the question of the basic recyclability ( is that a word) of the products we use, neither landfill or incineration should be our primary means of dealing with our waste, they should be last ditch

  12. Me too. We used a mix of disposable and washable for our two babies. 50/50 on the parent nappy-changing workload of course when you wash things it often uses electrical energy which comes from somewhere. That's an odd thing to say considering the economy of the entire industrialised world is based on extraction of buried materials. If the materials become valuable humans will extract them depending on the financial benefits. Open cast disposable nappy mines could well become quite popular in future.

  14. You are still conflating the 2 distinct elements, which only serves to confuse the relevant issues. Attachment/touching, however temporary, remains a distinct act of potential trespass depending on what relevant rights either public or private attend the situation. US case law in this area is more comprehensive than here in the UK, but even so, the extent of permissible temporary (even accidental) contact with land over which one may legitmately float, has been the subject of judicial examination over centuries. A land owner may grant a right of 'occupation' that still requires an extra right enabling a less transient occupation. Where a boat can be kept stationary by means of attachment to the ripa rather than to a 3rd party's fundus, then the elements are satisfied - but the fundus owner in granting an occupation right over the fundus is not thereby obligated to also grant an attachment right to enable mooring TO the fundus in the absence of an adjacent riparian owner's consent. So far as I can see in this particular decision, the judge has been very careful to keep the distinct elements separate. It very specifically does.

  19. After I bought the Arthur, we did a tour of northern waterways in 1971 and moored under one of those shutes, in order to scrape out what particles we could find of coal wedged in its crevices. From the bucketful we gathered we fed the stove with it that evening - and soon had to flee the bow cabin so intense was the heat thatr esulted. A nuclear meltdown could hardly have produced more energy. We were lucky the stove did not melt. Strong stuff, that Yorkshire coal. Is there any such still around?

  21. 80621 is a BW asset number and the boat is still in BW livery, so it's safe to say at the time of that photo she was still in use a maintenance boat or very recently disposed of. The bottom photo could be the north end of Fazeley yard - all built over and called Peel's Wharf now.

  26. Not so elaborate when I went through last summer, but still an attractive lock, with a family living there. It seems to be a tradition:t through a succession of occupiers the surroundings have alwasy been enthusiastically tended, with a sprinkling of gnomes thereabouts.

  30. Pershore, 1953. The Pisgah brought grain from Avonmouth (I think) and had to work through a flash lock at Pershore to reach the mill. In later life she was bough tby the Ryle family, converted as a hotel-boat at Saul then taken past Lands End to enter the French canal system via the Seine. She remains in central France as a privately-owned boat.

  31. might pay to check the Facebook page of any pub that takes your fancy, lots are not opening on the 4th for various reasons. The Sportsman opening on the 9th and i think requires booking The Rat & Ratchet has no date yet, brewery opening their pubs in stages and the Rat is not listed on the 4th or the 9th so may be later. just did those as an example as @doratheexplorer mentioned them by name i know of one that won't be opening because "we have not been able to come to an agreement with our landlords on new terms reflecting the new trading situation", The Sair won't be opening as the rooms are just too small for social distancing, and my local next door is not opening at all for the forseeable

  32. Crossing The Wash is a fun adventure, but it's in no way a "short cut". Given that you'll have to wait for a day with suitable weather and a suitable tide, you'd have to be extraordinarily lucky to get to Peterborough quicker over The Wash than going via the Nene. MP

  36. The flight actually re-opened at about 4 o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) about an hour after we arrived. The workboat with Hiab mounted crane was pulled back out of the locks, and the volunteers, who had spent the day greasing paddled and generally preparing, decided to stay on until 6pm. to get four boats up, maybe six down, prioritising those on a schedule like us, advising those planning to go through Leicester to wait or find another route. Despite being initially a but concerned that as we were hauling a butty it might take too long, the whole team were helpful, efficient and considerate. Seems thet're not insured for bow hauling so can't help with that, but everything else can't fault them. They are back at 8am today Thursday (not 10) to finish clearing the waiting boats. The patched up gate.

  44. A few years ago we had a completely different experience at Bosley. As we worked the bottom lock, a volunteer appeared at the next lock and he ably assisted us for a few locks when he was joined another volockie - his wife. The pair of them worked us right up the flight and they were a pleasure to share the work with. haggis
