We have dg portholes with no condensation, dg side hatches with no condensation but the dg houdini hatch had frozen drips all around it this morning. Our Squirrel seams OK when it starts to get hot, about 20°, I just close the round vent and it stays about right.

I'm still turning clockwise when I should be going anti clockwise. At least with a lever I can remember forward for forward and back for reverse.

The boat he describes has a National I think. Clearly from the above example you can use a wheel to change gear. I find using a wheel to change revs is complex enough for me.

I am reading "Anderton for Orders" by Tom Foxon and was confused by his description of the controls for his first narrowboat. He clearly describes using the speed wheel to change gear and the handle to accelerate. Is this even possible or am l missing something?

We have a Dyson v7. It's plumbed into the electrics so is always being charged when the 240v is on so is always ready to use. Has a spinny thing which cleans the rugs. Very powerful suction quality product but expensive.

Then it becomes part of their journey through life..........

With you there, its like the London marathon., you come 2056th and you still get a medal, only the first three should get medals all the rest should be disqualified.

Now that's an image I'll find difficult to forget........

OK I'll check this next week.

OK so I have 5x 160ah batteries. That means the charging current is around 8amps and 14.4 volts. So this will be at the end of the absorption phase of the charger? Right. I can do that.

95% NOT 65%....sorry

At the moment I can only visit the boat once a week. While I'm there I switch on the inverter and do a few odd jobs lowering the batteries down to about 65%. I then put the generator on for a couple of hours and that leaves the battery bank at around 98-99%. I read in the masterlink monitor manual that the final green led comes on when the battery bank is full (96-100%). So I had assumed that this was OK. A month ago when I returned to the boat the solar would have returned the bank to 100% but lately it is still at 98% a week later. Having read this I'm now concerned I am actually killing the batteries slowly. Should I not leave the boat till the monitor shows 100% and the bank voltage is around 12.65 V. Or is 98% OK.?

Tony Kaye on keyboards was a jazz musician then along came Rick Wakeman on fragile who was more into........ well other stuff

Oh the early 70s were close to the edge of prog and indy rock self indulgence and self destruction. Concept albums, often doubles, all over the place. I liked thick as a brick but the follow up passion play was really dull. Thankfully punk was just around the corner........................

I wasn't getting aggressive as usual I just misinterpreted your post. All I wanted to know was what length chimney to get. As usual people misinterpret humour for aggression. Let's call it quits.

I was brought up on a farm. I was picking potatoes, and worse, peas by hand all day when I was 12. So I'm not really impressed with "You were lucky... We ad it really tuff...." stories.... Sorry!

I had a duffel when I was about ten I think. I wore army and navy surplus as a teenager in the 70s. Then along came companies like rohan and berghaus. The advantage they gave was the clothes were waterproof and warm. Not a fan of goretex but I like the alternatives. Never done a 16 hour day on a boat only a couple around 12 hours which was bad enough. As for practices from days past being better than present day, I won't open that can of worms........ Yep one of those will do.....

You presume wrong........

Where can you find Eddie Hambridge?

Duffel coat and trilby, who do you think I am? Paddington bear Nice.....

No!

Can you still use it as a hand warmer ?

Not tried it yet but have wished I had on more than one occasion!

Sounds like a long single skin is the way to go. Thanks!
