  1. Both restored on a shoestring budget and now it shows.
  2. For what they are, they should be gold trimmed. I should add that expensive does not always mean quality just good PR and a big hook ?
  3. Must admit once I saw the prices all I could think of is - a fool and his money etc.
  4. My mistake, I had to read that twice?
  5. It may be a tad larger after we passed through a couple of weeks ago and shaved a few millimetres off ?
  6. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  7. I'm away from my Bradshaws at this time but will have a look soon. It is interesting that across the country Bradshaws appears more concise than some current dimensions. It could well be that 7' was just a generic size.
  8. The Llangollen (and I presume Hurleston) is listed as 6' 10" in the 1904 edition of Bradshaws guide
  9. Similar at Audlem, the volleys appear to favour lock 13, none on the rest of the flight. To be fair lock 13 is closest to the pub?
  10. Went in last Wednesday lunchtime for a drink and see how it looked. Went back in the evening for a meal and cannot fault it. Yes it currently has a limited menu but the food was good and a decent selection of ales. Apparently the new licensee had only been there since earlier on on the year and it is improving day by day. They appear to be there for the long haul. It may now improve by the fact that the pub co, Punch Taverns have been removed from the equation and it is now run by Star Inns, a subsidiary of Heineken who seem to be more receptive to the business.
  11. Went through last week, touch and go at the gauge but just made it. I think it may be a few millimetres larger now but was worth it. There were 4 boats in the basin when we arrived. Shaved another few millimetres off on the way back. I should add that I had to drop the Ariel before entering ?
  12. For some months recently it has been hogged by C&RT work boats.
  13. So many great chippies, mostly all down to taste. Two I would mention are 1) Congleton, Hightown Chippy, close to the canal at bridge 74 and 2) Chippy opposite Kings Lock, Middlewich.
  14. The ones I have seen are a tapered fit and seal quite adequately with water pressure.
  15. And it appears they have partially resucitated the old winding hole between bridges 77 & 78.
  16. I have read this thread with some interest although it appears a number of posters are getting het up by CRT T & C's and the meanings of such. What nobody has clearly pointed out, although Captain Pegg did brush upon it, is that the detail of GDPR compliance is not actually in the T & C's but is enshrined in CRT privacy policies and the last paragraph of the policy for customers actually covers this scenario.
  17. Pat testing is for individual appliances and not electrical circuits so in your scenario such faults would not necessarily show up unless the fault is from an appliance.

  20. I would suggest in all probability once the water had been drained out, it is the result of the bed drying out during the hot summer and will take a period of resealing.

  22. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  23. I would add that not all my oil changes, I am the second owner. Having said that they do get a tad easier?
  24. Unless of course your face fits
