  1. Yes. We renewed with GJW last week and shortly after we received a confirmation from RCR.
  2. Thanks for replies. There's usually about six of them submerged behind the bottom gate at Somerton Deep Lock.
  3. What are the tube shaped fenders that sink please? They sound just the ticket for the Shroppie out in the sticks.

    DVD Player

    Many thanks for all your replies. Very valuable.
  5. We're thinking of buying a portable/rechargeable dvd player as the integral one on our 10 year old tv has packed up. Any recommendations please? Thanks for any replies.
  6. Definitely Davis. 25 years console has worked. One outside temp probe and one anemometer replaced in that time.
  7. We phoned the Centre and asked if they could do a service, yes the lady said come into the Centre and Mike the engineer will be around to see you.
  8. A chap called Mike did a cracking service for us a couple of year's ago at Nantwich Canal Centre.
  9. Thanks dmr fully agree. Shobnall marina has the same MO,
  10. Thanks very much everyone.
  11. I would be very grateful if somebody could help me find some window drain covers; see pic. Thanks in advance.
  12. I'd like to know what was the cause. Pinch point?
  13. Thanks again. Called at Midland Chandlers for some bits and asked for help looking for an engineer/plumber and they gave us two contacts. Also phoned the marina who were helpful but nobody available until Thursday. Now on our way so happy.
  14. Very many thanks. Two latest headaches have been sorted:)
  15. We expect to arrive in Braunston this morning with two small plumbing issues and are looking for help on our narrowboat. Any suggestions of a marine engineer/plumber please? Thanks for any responses.
  16. I think that looks very neat.
  17. I'm thinking of purchasing a cordless pressure washer, using canal water, for our narrowboat as increasing decrepitude is causing me some problems using the usual brush and bucket and I'm finding it difficult reaching across the roof. B&Q and Screwfix have them but does anyone have any other suggestions/recommendations please? Thanks.
  18. Thanks again everyone. I'm all set now to fashion our new improved filler nozzle.
  19. Thank you all very much appreciated.
  20. Again, very many thanks all for replying. Basically it is decrepitude, we’re both on the wrong side of 75 and don’t want too much water getting our doormat wet.
  21. Many thanks for replies thus far. I am about to renew my fresh water filling hose but the old plastic valve and 12 inch nozzle that fits in the filling pipe are completely decrepit, like its owner. Our aim is to stop any water spilling/splashing at the forward end. (58 ft narrowboat with a cratch). We have no desire to stop the water, just to stop what remains in the hose pouring into the well deck.
  22. I would appreciate some advice on a stopcock and nozzle fitting on the boat end of our fresh water filling hose please.
  23. We happened upon a drained pound which we reported on twitter, crt came back quite quick and requested a photo which we obliged, they said they would get it reported, which they did, and the regional office phoned and kept us updated. We also sent an appreciation of crt's quick response at Colwich Lock. Their twitter person said thanks and they would pass it on. Both cases we think twitter worked well.
  24. Further thanks all. Sorry, should have said Farmers Bridge Junction.
