Make sure you change the password from the default, and also disable the auto guest feature if it has one. Kev.

Wasn't refering to the Data Protection Act, but to what is defined as a data breach, as defined by the ICO. "Releasing personal details without the express consent of the individual will be deemed a data breach". There are caviats to this, but the principle holds true for most organisations. The DPA is purely the legislation to ensure that "Organisations which process personal data must take appropriate measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction of or damage to personal data." The DPA in itself does not prevent an organisation from releasing information, as you rightly say, and is often mis-quoted as the reason why something can't be done. Its what's kept me in work for 20 years. :-)

Not been on line for a couple of days to respond. Just to clarify the Data protection element. An organisation can't give out personal details, but can contact the person on a requester’s behalf and provide contact details of the requester. This infuriated the police a couple of years ago, when I lost my wallet and the only contact point the police could find after it was handed in was the Blood donor service. The donor office would not give out my details, even to the police, but they rang me to tell me where my wallet was. Had a heated debate with the desk sergeant who was complaining bitterly about the stupid person at the donor centre for not handing out my phone number. "I'm a bloody policeman!!!!" he kept saying. Unluckily for him I am a Data Protection Advisor!! I did resist telling about Police Officers who have been done for selling personal details, but it was an interesting discussion.

Your saving me a load of typing, because you are about a week ahead of us, so your asking the question just as its coming into my head...

Not checked all the previous links, but is this what you mean? Linky

Think its all a wind-up. I didn't bring a coat...............

All Thanks for the responses. Hadn't thought about the curing time. Had the newbie thought that I wanted to polish it as soon as I got my hands on it! (Boys and toys )

Suzie Q is nearing completion and is being painted this week. My question is, on a bare shell (except for that lovely oxide red!!) is there any rule of thumb about the number of coats of paint? I have heard some builders use 6 or 8 coats, but the current plan is 2 coats of under coat and 2 of top coat? Does this sound right or doesn't it really matter? My follow on question is what should I use to protect the new paint work? A good wax, auto glean, a car sealant? Thanks in anticipation Kevin

Geography never was my strong point......

Know the feeling well. 10 days and counting, so they keep telling me. No room left in the garage, or under the bed. The arm chairs are now in the hall. Think I'll need something bigger than a transit (Think I might need something bigger than a 57 ft nb!!)

Remember doing this on one of my early hireboat trips as a teenager and amazing my parents!! (Yes it was that long ago ) Did lead to an interesting event though when sharing a double lock with another hirer. They left their teenage son in charge while they opened the paddles and had for some reason tied up both ends. When the teenager heard me rev the engine, which of course was in reverse, he like most boys at traffic lights reved his too. The boat shot forward, slammed into the gates and snapped both lines. It was interesting the see them try and moor up an hour later with only 3ft of rope available..

From all the reports I have seen it appears they are only mapping the towpaths as a walking route, so I don't see that it will replace CanalPlanAC. The other question is should we all turn off our Wifi devices as the trike goes by, given the amount of trouble Google are still in about collecting additional information during the street view surveys?

Hi. Shell finally got to yard and fit out started after waiting 25 years to get round too it. Kev & Sue
