  1. Well not since the days when stealing a loaf of bread got you sent to Australia :-)
  2. Well to quote Humphrey Bogart in the film "the African Queen", "Boats have oars"
  3. I'm having a new boat built, do I ask if its made with Chinese steel and have an everlasting guilt trip or do I just leave the question unasked and live in peace in my ignorance :-) probably the latter.
  4. On the Calder & Hebble you have a genuine reason for carrying it, bit more difficult to argue the need on the GU :-)
  5. That would have been enough for me to prove him wrong :-)
  6. Has the dip stick stopped working?
  7. Did someone say anything about time off in loo
  8. I understand 'coaching' boats accompanying university rowing teams, I cant remember the name of that type but they go much faster than your average cruiser.
  9. In a rustic, desolate sort of twilight zone way
  10. Only two people and no boats
  11. I was told by a boat builder that he could weld up a complete boat in a fortnight from scratch.
  12. And of course if you fancy a new pram hood at the same time that would be great
  13. Is there something wrong with thee channel markers in Breydon water? When I went through there (and it was a very long time ago) it seemed fairly clear so why are people wondering into the shallows?
  14. What about a 'withdrawing' room where you withdraw from the rain, or TV lounge :-)
  15. Don't forget the mandatory "Captains" hat
  16. Only a guess but maybe there is a printed circuit track that has fractured so that when the panel is cool contact is made but when warm contact is lost. If this is the case and you can find the break you might be able the bridge the break with a short piece of wire and some solder.
  17. I would prefer that CRT was run like the national trust i.e. people become members then there is a sense of ownership.
  18. Once you know its all tight and set right get some nail varnish and paint on some "tell tale" lines then if it ever comes loose you should be able to tell whether it was the top or the bottom nuts that have moved.
  19. I've seen a naturist on the Ashby canal, - - - well actually he was on the bank, not a particularly pretty sight but 'hey ho' each to his own
  20. I'm struggling to understand how anyone else can produce a weather forecast any cheaper than the MET Office considering that office's resources
  21. Its sort of ok in a sterile way, all that white though I wonder how white it would all be after a Winter next to a muddy towpath
  22. For people who want to live next to a canal but don't like boats :-(
  23. I'm having a new boat built, One company building the shell, one company installing the engine insulation and windows, priming and blacking and third company doing the fit out, so which Company is the boat builder?
