    Interesting. My Craftinsure policy has that wording but followed by, "You possess a current Canal & River Trust or Environment Agency Licence, or the equivalent Licence from the local Navigation Authority as appropriate, and a current Boat Safety Certificate"

    I recall that when we had a woodburner installed at home we were given clear advice to open the stove door slowly to minimise fumes. I was born in London and lived my childhood there in the days of smog. A little bit more than a few particles coming from an open stove door!

    There is one solution. Use a broker to do the showing round. Our boat went on brokerage and is already sold on deposit to the second viewer. Would be happy to name the brokerage if the mods permit!

    But you need to be careful with whom you arrange the insurance. At least one of the major narrowboat insurers has a policy condition that you must have a current BSS.

    Top paddle jammed in raised position at Lock 5 Atherstone yesterday. Two CaRT staff attended promptly, unable to free "down the hole" Pound trained, waders donned and the whole lot done with no more than a couple of hours downtime.

    I am not impressed by the standard of the consultation document. Just one small example (and their are many others) is the requirement of an insurance policy with an insurance company that is both authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. That is impossible. The FCA do not authorise and have no powers to do so. Authorisation is conducted by the Prudential Regulation Authority. May seem unimportant but shows carelessness

    If it hit the control box hope the boater working the box was uninjured

    I don't think some of the posters realise that "dedicated" bins are out of date and dog bags can go in any rubbish bin

    And, if you are waiting at a lock please offer your help to others working the lock. It may be declined but "many hands make light work".

    Rule one of the COLREGS states, ‘These rules shall apply to all vessels upon the high seas and in all waters connected therewith navigable by seagoing vessels.’ I await the usual howl !

    The spelling is Cayzer, which, although it looks foreign is a Scottish family. In the end they only had one ship left, a reefer on charter.

    The Tendimus Society was the social club for Union Castle (subsequently British & Commonwealth) crew

    I am not a frequent poster and try not to get into the sort of threads that are being talked about here. That said my own experience has been that a good number of threads go "off topic" and then degenerate. Could members consider the use of private messaging as more appropriate than a forum slanging match?

    Originally two cottages.

    Nicholson 2009 edition shows it in the right place, i.e. on the last bend before the bottom lock. On previous editions it was shown in the wrong place

    Thanks! I confused the front door with the back door.

    A bit of local family history https://forum.historiccoventry.co.uk/main/forum-posts.php?id=39916 Not too sure how the modern pictures match the original. Could the original picture show the towpath side?
  22. MartinC
    Same here.

    Just a thought. As I understand that Historic England were insisting that, at enormous expense and a long time delay, the recent repairs had to replicate the original design were they unaware of the alterations that had been carried out?

    Latest email from CaRT:

    I was surprised to see it on the previous posting. I have not received one. Are we sure it is genuine as normally emails from Damian are addressed by first name and this one is addressed to "boater"?
