As you have not the wit to understand a post, an explanation seems to be required :-) It gave me a giggle to read the above posts and come across one that stated "Nasty, spiteful and totally unnecessary." (See? Quote marks for the pedants) after making nasty, spiteful and totally unnecessary remarks about that article. I then had a wee look back over the thread and found even more "Nasty, spiteful and totally unnecessary." remarks about the K&A residents (and, yes I am one of them) from people who have not really a clue about which they speak. And then I pop back on to see the last few "Nasty, spiteful and totally unnecessary." remarks. Remember. The canals are for ALL. Lump it! PS Have fun :-)

What a thoroughly unpleasant, snide and badly written piece.... Just about sums up the' freeloaders, we do what we want' attitude of Kanda Indeed, one could safely assume that it would be, simply because of the site that it is on. A site that serves no purpose other than to make NBW look good. What galled me was the the way the info was given, and by whom. Very bad form What an unpleasant, nasty little article. It staggers me that CRT engage with boaters at all when this sort of spiteful and destructive attitude seems to exist in some who claim to represent boaters. They represent a very small group of people who are determined to use whatever loophole in the law they can find to keep their boat in the same location for years I often wonder why some of the editorial staff who write for the above rag bother with boating. Alan to save you the trauma of visiting such dark, dank places As said above, of course you can do it legally. If you choose do do it illegally, the stress serves you right. The problem surely is that people choose to live on boats when they either can't actually afford to do it legally or simply don't want to. if the former, it's the same as squatting in houses and that's another issue... A visit to the K&A will clearly show that living in one small area on a CC declaration is entirely possible to sustain and whilst in theory it is riding for a fall in practice it is quite easy. Similarly the towpath fitout debris left lying in hedgerows, the shit tank contents poured into the bushes and ownership of certain mooring spots. Quite simply, there are no consequences to this behaviour so why the hell not? I've just been reminded why I don't read that forum. The Kanda lot seem to want to do as they please, regardless of everyone else. **Nasty, spiteful and totally unnecessary.** Doctor heal thyself. And this is just from this thread. Never mind what I have read over the years about the K&A.

Julynian Just to let you know. The thread may have been deleted, but there are things in this world called COPIES. You gave a very one sided account of what happened, with what I believe to be a few untruths. Anyhow, just so you know.

Just another 'Toy boat' owner I'll guess, the folk that leave an empty boat for weeks at a time then come and play with it on a sunny weekend. These are the majority of boats clogging up the K&A, empty, dumped weekend playthings. *giggles*

Lol, another nyah nyah you've got a silly name comment. Luv it.

But EVERYONE on the K&A is on the dole and never moves because none of them are proper boaters, cause none of em read the daily mail.

Odd how many of them are holding down jobs in the area too.

So I must have buckets of common sense...........

Like what? Never eard ov'it But after 8 years of doing so, does that prove the laws of physics have changed? Point is it don't take alot of wisdom to hammer in a pin and tie a rope to it.

Hoo yah, hi five :-D. Thankyou.

If there is no rule to tie up, what wisdom do you need?

Er i think I said why earlier.

Exactly why I used it. *giggles* And no it's tied to the roof. Read my sig.

lol, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah, you've got a silly name. Whats with the pettiness?

Not a lot really, we loosen the centerline. Simples.
