fraid I agree withg John, Grandma Pollards it is, meat pies cooked on the premises and chips cooked in lard yum. mind you tis safer to eat while in the lock than wander round on the towpath, it's the doggiest crappiest spot on the whole canal.

oooo oooooh. cos the argument is wandering off topic and posted in a public forum. tho I found the first couple of posts mildly interesting I skipped the later ones.

We can only allege that its the farmer who bears a grudge, he has blocked the canal several times tho. Hopefully BW will find evidence of who did it ( digger tracks perchance?) and prosecute. There's a lock gate there been damaged by "vandals" too last week, hence now a complete closure - presumably someone wasn't satisfied that a few boats were still getting thru. I was hoping to travel down to cheshire next week from littleborough summit but looks like I'll have to go yorkshire way, presuming grumpy howard (to quote BW staff ) keeps tuel lock open. It was closed one day last week because of "lack of water".

the trick seems to be the pure acetone, anyone know of any drawbacks to this?

Horrible thing to do whatever happened. But laughter and jokes has always been a human reaction to tragedy. BTW as there no lead for the plod to pick up?

I missedc it, but caught the trade secrets follow on, hmmmmmm. there was an amazing scrap boat on there with a coach, bits of old car etc, not to everyones, or my, taste. apparently there's some pics on grand designs website for those who want to go there and firtle about, havent time just now myself.

forum now back up thanks fuzzy

fuzzy's post on the norman forum as follows quote FuzzyDuck Posted - 07 Mar 2007 : 22:06:39 Hmmmm It would appear we've been suspended for violations of our hosts ToS. I've just phoned them at a cost of 70p a minute for 37 minutes, but the person at the other end of the phone was a chocolate teapot. All i've been told is it's because we're hosting malicious scripts, or copyright material or some other stuff. We've raised a ticket with their billing department to find out what this mysterious "ToS" violation is. hopefully won't take much longer. end quote

Dawncraft forum is down, anyone know whats happening where's fuzzyduck?

agree totally, except herd it all before Baaa, sheep shouldn't get too close to a lone wolves Bah Humbug - and a sign saying "I'm local" might just scare 'em off

I dont mid breasting up where its busy, with suitable regard for my plastic. But if I moor up in the middle of nowhere, round the back of beyond, why do folks come and moor right next to me......... I just want some peace and quiet and solitude sometimes. Jim Bittern's Boom DC22

its heresay that its tue(sday) its saturday but apart from that yes you can moor anywhere for approx 2 weeks if you are "continuously cruising" ie with no home mooring, or if away on cruise from home mooring. and you cant if theres a legit sign saying so

would that be a coffin for sale?
