Still a work in progress but I have now got a usable printed timing tool for the 1500. To make it involved learning how to use CAD software which was an interesting lockdown distraction.
It took about 9 hours to print in total, I'm sure the printer settings can be tweaked a bit to reduce that, perhaps that'll be the next lockdown project.

Indeed, no one questions that you are doing it 'right', but not many have your land-based facilities.
Who was it, just a couple of days ago, who said they'd put the liquid in the hedge bottom and the part-composted solids in the bin ?

A giant swan would have made an excellent CaRT on the water employee. Checking boat licenses, mooring overstaying, anglers permits and slowing down speeding cyclists. Enforcement would come with a broken arm from a single wing blow. Much more effective.
If the swan is hissing, your license is missing!
Broken arm. What's the reason? You're fishing out of season!

I've never seen a white back cabin range but some did come in vitreous enamelled finishes around the 1940's. There's currently a Belle on Ebay in grey, and in my restoration corner there's a Dover that was originally green and a tiny Bandera No1 in pale grey.
The problem is the enamel suffers from corrosion quite easily and is very expensive to have refinished. There's only a couple of places in the country that do it and as the process involves grit blasting and heating to an extremely high temperature there's a good chance of breakages on fragile parts.

It's not a new logo, though, is it? The big information signs at places like Foxton have the logo and the sweeping different blue colours -- and they've just used a bit of the shape rather than the logo on its own. Such as on the vans as above, or this downloadable map:

Who is going to know you are running a boat on diesel that has not had the relevant duty paid?
Crack on I say

That's right. You just don't know. You're basically trying to predict the weather for next month. I used to moor on the Thames and I've seen it on green and on red in winter.
I once moved from Laleham to Reading on reds and yellows so it can be done with care if you have the engine power and ability and if those reds aren't too severe, but you're wearing your insurance policy a bit thin.
Having said that, he bottom line is if the conditions aren't right you don't move, whatever your schedule.

The proposed scheme requires sellers to buy fuel at full duty (and VAT) and claim back the rebated duty. Currently they buy at the lower rate of duty and collect any extra from purchasers.

Well it’s a breach of licence conditions. So restrict licence etc etc.
My vote cut up for key rings.

Absolutely agree - never trust someone who openly admits that they plan to scam someone else - even if their intended victim is a big corporation like eBay or Amazon.
A scam is a scam and a scammer is a criminal . . .

For £32 a month, I hope she gets the phone with that?
In any case, the OP said system, not network.

Looks and sounds ok.
I think the starter may be staying in a bit too long, or perhaps you need to release the key a little earlier?

Why do you assume that?
They've not been barred from the N. Oxford, in fact they've been given a procedure to follow in order to use it.
How to arrange movement of wide-beam craft on the north Oxford canal
Boaters should notify enquiries.westmidlands@canalrivertrust.org.uknot less than two weeks ahead of the boat movement with the following information:
- Boat index and name
- Planned date and time of movement
- Direction of movement
- Contact number for the person who will be navigating the boat
Creating a set of instructions on how to do something and then banning the same activity would be contradictory and deserving of maximum criticism by everyone.
I am happy that what was needed has happened.

Another 200kg of anthracite and Excel mix delivered today. Will hopefully last over a month.
I'm thinking of installing a powered stoker to save my shoulders, there is one on a Bayer-Garret in the Manchester Science Museum that is doing nothing.
With the museum closed they won't miss it till they reopen and I could have it back by then.

Debdale marina will lift it out and store it for you and let them know when you are returning would have it back in the water ready for you,

On a canal boat I think the overlarge prop causing engine damage is far more theoretical than actual. If you were on a river and perpetually drove with the throttle flat out and smoke pouring from the exhaust then maybe but in the hands of a sensible boater I think not.
If you look at the power and torque curves of engines you will see the torque (twisting force) starts to drop while the power continues to climb so typically an overlarge prop will only show itself as the torque starts to drop. The engine will refuse to rev up any more, whatever you do with the throttle, and its likely to produce exhaust smoke. Sensible boaters recognise this and back the throttle off a bit. It is not uncommon for inland boats to be propped for maximum torque because that tends to give a better stopping power and fuel economy.
In my view if a prop was so oversize the engine components were likely to suffer excess wear it would simply refuse to rev up or even stall when put into gear, much as we see with flat batteries and huge highly geared alternators.
If the engine revs up and the boat can get up to about six knots in deep open water (where allowed) without excess exhaust smoke I think you can ignore the damage from oversized prop thing.
