  1. Lovely! Thank you very much for posting it
  2. Thanks for the clarification. However, I think to answer honestly I would have to say that - since for most of the time it's my son who is the only one on the boat - there is really only one 'boater'. If I then do a (very rough) calculation of the number of visitors to the boat during 2012, and the number of times they visited, I would have to tick the 501 - 1000 box. I can't help feeling that this somewhat 'skews' the figures!
  3. I'm finding this somewhat difficult to answer! During most of 2012 there was just one boater on my boat most days of the year, but there was no-one on her over several weekends. A fair amount of the time there were 4 'boaters' on her - if we count the grandkids as 'boaters'! Once or twice during the year there were 6 or more, and at New Year there were as many as a dozen! So, do I count each day on the boat by each 'boater' as one 'visit'? Only it's beginning to look as though it would take a long and somewhat complicated sum, and I'm not very good at sums!
  4. Greenie to Sally for posting here (even with her somewhat eye-watering mixed metaphors ) Let's hope it's a sign that the communication can continue!
  5. Yeah, but "HOW BOATERS ACT ON CANALWORLD" was really very good!
  6. PS Are there pictures? Would love to see the 'Before' and 'After' if possible!
  7. Brilliant! But rather frightening as my son has been planning to do our boat this summer! I may have to print out and show him your list, Starry

  9. Since discovering CWDF I have read it daily, but posted infrequently, so rarely feel the need to 'log in'. Love the info, hate the arguments! But as long as the one far outways the other I keep coming here
  10. We were told that our boat was named after the original owner's grandmother, Polly, who was born on a narrowboat moored outside the Hollybush pub. It's a nice story, with a real canal history, so why change it?
  11. Predictive text can come up with good'uns sometimes, can't it? I assume it to mean torchlight.
  12. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  13. All part of the nonsense of a price "below which it would not be economical to let the mooring". So it's more 'economical' to let a mooring fail to attract any bids at all, and to stand empty? BW and now CRT have obviously never heard the old saying "Half a loaf is better than no bread"!
  14. True! I just wonder what any future moorings coming up in the area will be priced at Has a precedent been set? But although I don't actually know Cropredy, Hungerford town is a fairly expensive (aka 'posh') area, so I would expect the moorings there to be highly priced.
