Interesting which way this tread has developed. My opening question was do you think this article will help or hinder the family? Imo CRT cannot now back down, as they have to be seen as following there enforcement procedures in this. As soon as they don't follow there enforcement procedures, it would be reported in the press and it would have a consequence for every other enforcement case. Is there any way CRT could back down now it's in the national press?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36046323 Just seen this, in the news section on the BBC website, wouldn't really call it news. Do you think this coverage will help the family or Hinder?

We moor in Mercia, first we have heard about it reading this thread. Your can't help but think is that our boat when you read the opening post. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread for getting the information out there.

I can remember that. We had just bought our boat, and decided to take it out for a few days, got to crossington lock. And had to leave Iit from the 20th November till the 6tn January, when we finally got it back to Mercia. Did the ring earlier this year, the first time been back on the soar, and loved it, so don't let it put you off.

Mother in law

We stopped at Wychnor last night, no problem with flow there. Might be an overflow gate has been opened further down.

is this the first of the the locks side by side, on that stretch, so no stoppage notice would be required. I could be wrong though

This is from Feb this year so has not been there long, as for heart in the right place, mine would be for 250,000 a year for a part time role. Allan Leighton has been confirmed as chairman of the Co-operative Group. The serial non-executive – who previously turned around Asda and chaired Royal Mail – said that his family background linked him to the UK’s largest mutual and that the distinguishing factor of the business was indeed its mutuality. His appointment carries a salary of £250,000 a year.

One summers evening I was happy sitting on the front of the boat fishing. At about 9.30 decided to call it a day. As I got up I heard a splash and realised the rod was in the water, just my luck I believed I had knocked it and started cursing, then all I could see was my rod going up the canal. So I started running up the towpath trying to keep up. At this point my other half came out and saw me running and decided to follow. About 100 yards up the canal my rod was just there in the middle of the canal. Too far out reach by hand, So I ended up passing the other half my phone and wallet while I decided I would go and get the rod, It Won't be that deep. Hmm. The water was cold and the drop of the shelf was steep. I am 6.2 it was up to my chest. Got hold of the rod and the fish was still on, so started to bring it, got it within 10 feet of means then it snapped the line. My other half was pi##ing herself on the bank, luckily for me she couldn't use the camera on the phone. Took me 5 attempts to get out, and then broke the rod doing so!

I take it then you keep your curtains shut.

Laminate the pages and keep in a folder. Put the folder on the back at an angle so while navigating you can see it. If it rains don't matter as the laminate protects it. Use a china graph pencil to make notes on. ( this works well on laminate and does not wash off with a little rain)
