One or two slightly bigger than that🤣 I owned this for ten years and that's just for starters. I had taken you off ignore as I thought you might have been making sense lately. Back in the bin with you. Which for me was preferable as the deck of Parglena was level with the concrete. Incidentally Parglena is now kept only a couple of hundred yards downstream from there.

I thought older boats had bottoms made of Elm not steel or iron🫣 -
Why would anyone moor there without taking protective measures, like decent sized tyres/ fenders. I'll say no more in case I cause offense 😲

Who gives a Flying F***? Not even Trading Standards who are supposed to enforce this. There have been no prosecutions of boaters who have broken the rules nor will there ever likely to be.

Reinstating an immersion heater via a non fused spur.
GUMPY replied to Gybe Ho's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
I always fitted something like This for my immersion heaters. Absolutely zero chance of leaving it on. -

Wonder what it originally ran, cos it's not a marine one.

The shape reminds me very much of Thorn a 1980s? Tug converted by John Forth Started life as a hire boat but was converted to a tug in later life. Just re read the first part of the thread and realised I'm repeating myself 😱

You obviously don't stream 4k UHD video. I got through 20gb on one rugby match last weekend. Although I don't use that much every month I hope 500gb/pcm might be enough for the next 28 months.

That's not fair use. Fair used was a warning the first time you went over and if you did It two months on the trot it was capped. That EE SIM should be sold as a 600gb SIM not unlimited. I suspect that might apply to all EE unlimited Sims not just the Scancom one. Another reason not to like EE 😱 My 3 unlimited SIM has an alleged 850gb fair use clause but I've never got there.

I am resisting the temptation to say something clever😲
-
Fair use not capped. Capped means it stops at 600gb. Fair use means that if you abuse it by running 800gb every month it may be restricted. Most unlimited Sims have a fair use clause, my present 3 one is 850gb not that I have got much above half that even streaming lots of 4k UHD TV.

If you can afford to pay upfront then there's no speed cap at £15 a month https://amzn.eu/d/3mEpaUE

The 500gb Scancom deal is back on, for how long remains a mystery 🤔

I did this with Idleness over Christmas 1993 at Stoke Bruene top lock as I had a steel banded child's play tent on the prop which needed bolt cutters and I couldn't do it through the weed hatch. It was interesting but I had a couple of real professionals to help me. 😉 Also once sat Idleness on the bottom of the top lock on the Aylesbury arm when I needed to take some measurements to order a new prop. Like was different then 🫣

I still don't understand why anybody would use those posts when there is a perfectly good M8 bolt that fits M8 lugs perfectly.

Before the 1995 act you couldn't even admit to living on your boat as technically it was against the rules. However BW knew who did and who didn't, I was told at a social gathering by Chris Mitchell the SE region waterways manager that " of course we all know that you live in your boat" Life on the waterways was indeed more pleasant before 2000.

I lasted about six years after their formation before I quit cart waters. Doubt I would last more than 12 months now they appear to have gone downhill so much.
