Does anyone on here have any knowledge about free transit licences from Teddington to the River Wey. 5 years ago, when I was on the Wey, a boat owning lock keeper told me that EA did have such a licence but didn't let on unless pressed. A friend of mine asked EA yesterday and was told "don't know anything about them" and was then quoted the usual licence options, ie. 1 day, 15 days etc. Any info would be appreciated

Save the environment and open the doors and windows

Silencers, what are they? I havn't got one fitted to my 8 litre twin diesel. At tickover it just emits a gentle waft of exhaust gas and at cruising revs ( 280 rpm !!) it makes a lovely "kler-donk, kler donk" sort of thing.

Years ago, when I was weekending my boat, Eric gave me a lift from Stratford to Lapworth in his Land Rover. Now that WAS an interesting experience

No problem with the "moor alongside " sign but I might add a rider "as long as you don't run a generator at anti social times"

Ernie, sounds like you met the proprieter in the office ( TC) I moored there for a couple of winters but got so miffed with his attitude (looking down his nose at you etc.) that I vowed never to go back there. Whenever I'm asked where I moor, I always say Braunston, and then add the rider "but not in the marina"

I'll be there harborough-mastering type of thingy

Spray him white

The scouts who were manning the car park were pushing cars into the parking field I had a moan and so got parked up right beside the temporary road Left at about 2.30pm but I imagine it must have been chaos later. BTW, at 10.00am it took us 45mins from the M1 to the site (½ mile?)

In our case it is nothing to do with charging. We don't even do pump outs. It is because we only have a cess pit which would fill up considerably quicker if self pump out were allowed. BTW it costs us £140 to have it emptied

Now I think that they look really naff, but, as they say "beauty is in the eye......." We have 2 houdinis and one is over the bed with no probs. In the winter, at night, when it is not open, we have a large foam filled bung that pushes into it. Sorted!!

Have you spoken to Kevin Whittle?

Trouble is that most furniture made for houses seems massive when you try to fit it on a boat.

I agree with Canal Shop Man. It sounds like a Mansfield Traveller (Not sure that they are still called that though). They are/were almost the industry standard. I've had them my own trip boats, hire boats, my personal boat (years ago) and the ball valve/seal does eventually give up sealing, thus allowing pongs to arise from the tank. My experience is that fitting a new seal (easy peasy in theory )usually cures the problem. Better still, do away with it and get a Porta Potti for much the same price as the repair bits

RS Components. There isn't much they don't do. They are here: http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/home.do?cacheID=ukie

A couple of years ago I did a Google search for Amway. I found loads of forums for disgruntled Amway agents who, I presume, thought that an Amway agency was the road to a furtune (but then wised up!). What I didn't find was anyone selling their products. Fortunatly, I eventually had a friend who had a friend etc etc and managed to buy 3 tubes of it. I presume that it is still out there somewhere. April 1st - yeah right

For years I've been using Amway Metal Polish for really tarnished brass. It still needs buffing with Brasso after to give a depth of shine, but its ability to remove months, even years, of crud is outstanding. Amway sell through agents so you will have to source one near you, but I promise you won't be dissapointed. Just spotted the title to this thread. Bye
