  1. Rob Dickinson covers that area 07831 449236
  2. they where a nightmare to steer in the north sea passengers would go to doorway for fresh air which lifted the prop out of the water and made manoeuvring difficult. The layout would be a nightmare to do .
  3. James Herriot would never use them never get stuck in.
  4. Maybe if they had CTV then the videos could be put on You Tube as definitely would not be saving anyone unless there was a super hero watching.
  5. Difficult to catch if every month you put a different reg number in window (felt pen on paper) always use a boat that was going opposite way.
  6. Enforcement officers/rangers now cover the lengths so no extra cost for labour .Any one not paying charge should have it put on licence pay up or lose it.Evasion shows no respect for other boaters .The 3% is all year not just the short term as mentioned.Removing boat I.d is part of the strategy for evasion any decent person would simply put a notice in window for example to cover the period whilst waiting for say sign writer.
  7. If within the terms by-laws regulations and whatever else is in place CRT where to strictly enforce these rules? then think how much income would be gained . The charge of £25 for overstaying is already in place in some areas but how much has been collected ? Due to CRT incompetence the paper licence has become a farce where any knuckles rapped. It is a requirement to have visible at i believe 20ft name and number on both sides of boat and even on any covers if they mask the boat ones. Zero tolerance works for the benefit of all and would initially bring in much needed revenue however this i believe would soon diminish as people started behaving and conforming .There should be no 3% licence evasion then .
  8. call in at any CRT office and they will print them off clone a similar boats licence remove your boat name and number both of which are supposed to be displayed and hey off you go .
  9. the rail bridge Cropredy to Mollington is a lovely boat green.
  10. pylon paint seems to be a good product if you like grey
  11. £50 per Litre and it comes out of the wells with natural gas .No wonder the development of platform and terminal was paid for so quickly.
  12. Could there be a comparison with Boy Racers and their big bore exhausts and the older gents with their Trads ?
  13. Running engines is a regrettable part of boating life for those who are not hurtling around the system everyday. Solar is not reliable enough in this country .Modern engines are not that noisy and is a steady constant noise .The worst is the Generator which ramps up and down as load changes these tend to be sat out in the open .The so called trad engine is far noisier but who will complain about that noise.
  14. My skin tank has a radiator style manual bleed valve .Is it a workable proposition to have an auto bleed valve ?
  15. Bollington when they do the permanent repair .Maybe
  16. surely when the sea breaches into the broads the boats will be able to go in that way
  17. empty locks are a danger to wild life unless bottom gates are left open
  18. i used to see naval vessels and timber cargo ships going to Norwich
  19. does it not need water pressure to allow gas through ?
  20. not seeing any rings being put in where these cycleways are springing up
  21. Could you give me a reference for that please? All I can find (both now and in the past) points to the recolonisation being natural. When i visited Sea World Birmingham many years back they had otters which if bred then the young would be released into the wild .
  22. Otters are being introduced all over the system next thing the Hooray Henry Country set will be out with the otter hounds .
  23. have you ever known a post stay on track ?
