That might be your choice but it certainly wouldn't be mine.....

I have seen showers used by hire boats….especially the ones with more beds than hot water capacity!! Sort of makes sense if you need to get 8 people through a shower of a morning. Also useful for those with only a back cabin or people like myself when I was doing some bathroom refurbishment….especially when my marina at the time didn’t have such niceties….but they are expensive to maintain especially when people don’t look after them…even when we did move to a marina with all mod cons it amazed me that moorers used to break the unbreakable and block drains for a pastime.

Yep….whats wrong with that?? Have you read their previous posts? Again nothing I wouldn’t say to their face….surely we are all adult enough for such discussion? Or isn’t opinion allowed now?

Why?? Please let’s not go back to like it was a few years ago when any robust discussion resulted in a ban….cant see anything here that wouldn’t be said face to face in a pub or similar

If you actually move your boat you will find rubbish bins....never had an issue yet....but there again I dont weld myself to the bank for months on end expecting a free ride....

Send him my best when you can.

It could just be reopened to the breach site in both directions….they haven’t said it will be joined back up….just my cynical take on it where peel is concerned!

Funny that one of my favourite pubs local to me is just like that and is doing well….helps that it’s owned by the landlord and is a free house and is run very much under his rules….his mantra is if you don’t like don’t drink there….it works well.

Ive never liked children....even when I was a child....but they seem to be allowed into shops and other public spaces....Id much rather they weren't. Why are children deemed less of a health hazard than a dog?...you dont know where they have been and the seem to be allowed to crawl over tables and wipe their mucky hands all over everything without a second thought by their doting parents.... I would have no objection to any pet...why would it being a pig make a difference?....I should imagine they can be better house trained than most children if the owners take the time....... I wonder if its the same chap I met at Norbury Junction?

I don’t own a dog but they do make everywhere better….and I’d have no objections to cats or falcons…or indeed in one pub a rather lovely owl…quite frankly I’m highly suspicious of people that don’t like dogs…it says a lot about them….i bet you think kids should be allowed to roam freely annoying everyone with noise….

I prefer anything to kids in a pub….but I especially love to see dogs….even better if their owners allow me to make a fuss of them…kids however should be kept in the garden at best.

When we stopped in Windsor the chap was waiting to collect the money before I’d stepped off the boat with a rope!!…he got a bit miffed when I said he could wait till I had at least moored up properly…..

Found this news report which suggests they took a load of cargo off so they might be reloading it. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15bYkWQiSR/?mibextid=wwXIfr

It’s sent directly to a random sample of boaters each year….not every licence holder…in 30 odd years of boating I’ve probably done less than 10…..don’t have such a chip on your shoulder…..and trust me CRT senior management are well aware of this forum.

When I was up there they were making a propshaft for a racing truck and one for a drift car......made mine all look a bit toy like! Found them really helpful and honest.

I took the UJ off my boat to be sorted here and was very happy with their service....they were making driveshafts for all sorts of things...many of the them custom builds. They are in North Nottingham so you might need to travel a bit https://wilsonpropshafts.co.uk See above....they aren't too far from you!

If this is serious then why do you expect others to support your way of life….and you cannot CC on the river lea….if you can’t work then buy a licence and travel the network….you sir are what’s known as taking the P.

He was often the voice of sense and reason on here…much missed. Hope he’s better soon and feels like posting again.

On my JP I made sure all fixings were undo…and checked again…then spun it over on the starter….did the trick.

If it helps my JP2 had a habit of blowing head gaskets. In the end I found a machine shop in Coventry who were happy to give both heads a very light skim. Refitted the heads using NOS composite copper gaskets and a good coating of Wellseal on all the joint faces and had no issues since…about 2000 running hours.

So just leave all the oil pads floating around then??? Sounds a professional tidy job……🙄 To be fair I wouldn’t trust them to move a boat either.

Nice to see RCR keeping to their usual standards
