Ok. I give up.

Il try a new tactic...can England win the rugby World Cup? Now let’s talk about proper football, played with a round ball. France did enough today against a tough team.

Usually a bad thing. Not on the two occasions that I suffered boat paint and pepper mill damage last summer though.

Quarter finals weekend. Quite excited as England seldom get this far. Will be watching in a bar in Chester. Daughter is watching on a big screen at a horse racing meet, son at a bbq which also has a big screen. Mrsmelly wont be watching as his eyes are on something else in Newbury! Enjoy the game everyone, I think we will win and then it’s the semis! I was was too young to watch the 66 final. I am beginning to believe this year may be my turn to see England win.

Will aim for Telfords then. Thanks all.

Ing er Lund is out then.

That’s for people that weren’t good enough at school to play proper football.

Works though doesn’t it!

Will be in Chester by weekend probably. Was told Chester basin is good mooring for weekends, away from the party people. Any advice on Chester mooring please?

Will England win the football World Cup???

Does seem to be a few erratic steerers around this last few days. Not just hire boats mind. Maybe the heat is causing fatigue. Have spoken to a few that are still doing 8 to 10 hour days...

Was a very hot day when we last visited.

We left our boat there for a few days last summer. Very helpful staff. Nice walk up to the village with I think 3 pubs, an Indian and a few small shops.

Have you considered sawing it off at the joint? Might be cheaper as your having it extended anyway? May even be cheaper/easier to get a new tube at desired length!

I expect post Brexit that as government sees falling taxes that it will be grabbing every penny it can.
