  1. Are there records or drawings of the cans produced by the different makers that survive available to view? Were there differences, like we see with boats?
  2. I guess it's due to the thinness of the metal. Makes sense.
  3. I've always considered soldering as being used on smaller items - are the BCM cans soldered completely, or are they welded down the "seam"? Is there a norm?
  4. We've had a direct debit set up for 5 years. Noticed this year the first payment didn't go out (May). Rang up to check and we too were told it no longer renews automatically. Once all is confirmed as the same, payment went out few weeks later.
  5. I can confirm, as a photographer, as long as you are on public property you can take a pic of anyone/thing, excluding the likes of military establishments, etc.
  6. Thanks. Better stop calling them ass cheeks. You learn something new every day
  7. Chester basin used to have moorings at the bottom, next to a lock onto the Dee. Didn't used to get footfall, except for the homeless. Not sure if the moorings are still down there, though.
  8. I've been keeping a look on eBay, preloved, etc. What engine is fitted? A number of ads do not include photos so it would help rule out the definitely nots.
  9. I was wondering how informative CRT's system is. Would it flag if the same number was spotted, let's say, in London and Liverpool in the same week? Because we changed our boats name, and when we rang to update the records we were told you don't have to inform of name changes as all is checked via licence number. Now obviously if no number is displayed I have no idea what they do, but if they've painted a number from a similar boat, that might buy them some time.
  10. We haven't displayed a licence in a while. The condensation used to turn them mouldy and the hassle of having a new one sent wasn't worth it. But the number of hiking groups who would stop in their tracks just to take our licence number because 'this one isn't licenced' was ridiculous. Each to their own, I guess. I would suspect the majority of boats do display a number (I cannot recall ever noticing one missing. I'm not looking for them, though). So, if it were me, I would try to look as "normal" as possible - display a number (random or registered to somebody else) but steer clear of places you're going to be clocked.
  11. Hopefully, knock on the boat and get ananswer. Report it in someway. Or leave a sticky sticker, alla BW.
  12. Local CRT guy says you don't need one in the window anymore, look you up solely on the number. Will flag up that way.
  13. Not on eBay - though it could have already been and gone. Or preloved - a few ads do not post pictures; do we know which engine it has, it will help disregard the definitely nots.
