BMC problems

So people are allowed to slag me off but the posts countering their insults are removed. Even-handed moderation, not.

That's a very complicated way of getting the last qunitale of goods into the barge.

In your first picture, which way will the boat go?

yes

send him down here, I could do with an under-footman, tell him I'll up his wages to £80 a week.

how does an articulated rudder work ? I can see the first bit working like an outboard, but the second? more of the same? I understand they are quite common in Holland.

£60-76 per week. How does a leisure boater justify, or even afford, this kind of price for their hobby?

Bought a new donkey?

floor paint works well on plywood.

The English language has a wealth of phrasal verbs intended to express the uncertainty when expressing an opinion. 'it never crossed their minds' is a statement. In an intelligent debate it's usual, as Allan has done, to show evidence to back up statements rather than categorically state something that is purely in your imagination but, hey, what do facts matter when dogma is involved? there's plenty of evidence to show the converse interpretation but you, and CRT, have spent 20 years putting ever more fanciful spin to obscure those simple facts.

this sounds like an interesting point, you'll have some evidence for it?

I will take your insult as a reflection of your inability to discuss things as an adult. I have no further interest in anything you have to say.

"Their only reason for moving the boat is to try to comply with the terms of the 1995 act and hence is NOT bona fide Though feel free to deny this is what you said.

no are you Dave Smith?

I'm not sure what you mean? If you're accusing me of being someone else i think you've probably reached the end of your argument. I can't quite call this an assumption because you avoided the 2nd mistake Kenk made. Unless you're going to leap from your question to the statement that I'm not bona fide posting?

you might also infer that 14 days is significant because it's part of the law and also that to say 'I move every 14 days' does not exclude moving more often. Another assumption. Again you miss the point. 1. I assume you do A 2. therefore you must do B is only valid if A is true. That's not discussion. I know you're an English teacher but it's not difficult logic.

...and one other, I know them so I have an unfair advantage. But that's not the point.

I suggest you re-read Kenk's post.

yes. But that's not the point. The point is that to make assumptions about people is extremely rude. To then use that to allege wrongdoing is malicious.

Don't you think it extremely rude to make assumptions about a pair of people you've never met? Assumptions with which you've then gone on to accuse them of wrong doing?

That would be a direct contravention of the 1995 Act then.

Indeed. It will be interesting to see if there's any collaboration for either party.

Reads to me as if he ran out of steam after the "I never said that" and the rest of the drivel is a simple cut and pasts from various CRT press releases.

Thank you Alan, so KenK's assertion is pure hyperbole. Surprising that. Really? Can I have some of what you're drinking? 33 boats in enforcement (bit different from 200 KenK) and that from 291 - although CRT's figures don't add up. 10%, if it's a "breeding ground", it's not doing very well
