Julynian, one of the best and most competent contributors to this forum. Your expertise and unquenchable generosity will be missed. Luckily for many, your word has been written. I understand the reasons for your departure and I respect you for leaving.

Not the best of the pictures but I couldn't resist...

Hi All,
Does anybody know which is the lowest bridge / tunnel in the London area? According to a couple of sources in google is a bridge in Limehouse cut but we found the first bridge in the Hertford canal (coming from Regents) to be lower. Does anybody know if there's anything even lower than that?
Thank you

Charity shops are great. I've got 2 infants and charity shops have saved us countless beer tokens over the last few years.
Hehehe. I love charity shops too! Any around Limehouse? Thanks
-
Maybe Dan needs to add an extra forum on here called 'Complain about bad boating practise in London.'
:-)
-
Thank you all. Just as intended, the forum stirring has resulted in the boat inappropriately moored leaving. It may have not been that, it was still worth a try though.

I'm pretty sure this is the same place.
Not only is it a water point, it is a lock landing and a winding hole AND immediately after a bridge meaning that you can't breast up to it.
I don't think I have ever gone past this water point and not seen a boat moored there for reasons other than taking on water. People treat it like an extension to the Islington VM. Sadly with so many people moving onto boats in London a certain percentage of them will not give a toss about the community they are joining and quite happily take residence at a water point because there are bollards that make it convenient and a lack of space/bollards elsewhere.
That's right

Yes,classic indeed!
May just have a "Battery Boiler" thread soon,or even an Armageddonistic pump-out versus Cassette epic?

Behave CT!!!! :-)

'bout par for the course, really!
I'm about to report the boat that has been moored on the 24-hour mooring at Haw Bridge on the Severn since last year.
Licence expired in January, no visible index number.
Anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't?
I would have thought so. Here's a tip. Create a post about it and let the nuisance take it's course LOL
-
Assuming other locations are available. It's between a bridge and a lock IIRC
Richard
There are visitor moorings after the bridge
-
Ok boat may be broken down BUT not too difficult to Bow or Stern haul it to a different location .
Something the owner should have done .That is if it has broken down as so many other boats conveniently do when they overstay on moorings.
Thank God some of us still have got some common sense
-
Obviously not !
But I don't let it worry me.
I can tell. Otherwise you would have done something about it. Unless you are still 4?
-
We have established that this boat is OK, haven't we? Not broken down for instance
Richard
That is correct. No messages saying that there is any problems and nobody in the area aware of any problems with the boat / people on board. Also, nobody on board. Another boaters trying to fill up / going through the lock / bridge getting pissed off over the busy Easter weekend. CRT have been informed and the only reason nothing is being actioned is lack of enforcement (don't get me started here!). I am now trying to get hold of Paul griffin as Jenlyn kindly advised.

Well Sir Nibs, I can't understand this one,,,,
I suggest similar way back in post 3, and it was met with posts and posts of disapprovel and naysayers,,
How do you get away with it with Agreeing back slaps ?. But well done you.is it a Rodent as opposed to Feather thing.
Great, this is a new one!
Is there anything you actually understand?
-
Isn't it? We all delight in the helpful community spirit of the waterways, is it not awful when we encounter one who pollutes that by using a "fu<k you" attitude to take advantage of everyone else's goodwill? I really, really hope CaRT charge this boater £25 a day for their "Mooring". The only possible excuses for this are either mechanical breakdown or medical emergency in which case I would imagine other boaters would pitch in to help by moving the boat on behalf of the owner. If neither of these apply then my opinion is that the owner is a selfish shit and the waterway community would be better off without them and their like.
Woooow! I LIKED THAT!
(you may have been just a little bit right TBM)

Missing my point magnificently!
Hahaha
Someone may realise they are not the only clever one in the game...
-
Because people misinterpret posts such as this like this as a complaint that they can't get water. So ways to get water are offered. This is not the problem!
In reality it is a moan to 'get it off one's chest'. The OP actually wants everyone to join it and say 'yes ain't it awful'.
MtB
Please don't speak for me. You don't know me.
And yes, your responses were well predicted from before the original post was actually uploaded.

Why does the answer to every problem always seem to involve everyone working their away around it except the one causing the problem?
Breast up? Yes, so long as it is safe to do so, and also report the offender, it's not an either-or.
I can't agree more
-
We had the bathrooms tiled on all the boats we have had. I have to add though, that we had a professional to do the tiling each time. We are very happy with the result and have never had any problems. I can see here very good feedback from users of wall panels, however, in my experience tiles work nicely too and I invite to those that prefer a tiled area to go for it.

If I needed water, (I don't as I have a Water Maker) and someone else had hogged the water point for a week or so, I would simply Raft alongside, take on Water and leave to enjoy my cruising, I can't see the problem of my actions in doing this at all.
However I find it odd that this action would be classed as the behavior of an inconsiderate boater, as suggested by the OP back in post 20.
It's not you being inconsiderate, it's the boat on the water point for 1 week.
Please read again. It's not the 70 feet open wide canal area that you are used too that we area speaking about here.

This forum beggars belief sometimes. I imagine that if I moored my boat across the canal and blocked it completely there would be some on here who would say "Well cruise somewhere else then" rather than dirty their liberal credentials by agreeing that some conduct is not acceptable.
Totally

Ref Staarek post 32
No, not in my view it isn't.
But I'm not on about that, I was trying to suggest away someone else might be able to get Water by rafting up alongside.
But, this practice was deemed inconsiderate,
I ask simply
Why ?.
Really?
Because filling water up shouldn't be a privilege to just some (the ones that can raft alongside). I can't believe you need this explained any further...
-
So now we have non-compliant water point users as well as non-compliant continuous cruisers to worry about. Thankfully the biggest thing that we have to grumble about is the weather on most parts of the network.
I just moor up alongside a boat that is left on a water point. I did have someone come back from the shops and have a whinge about me doing this without using side fenders, so I just said that I did not have any.
:-) Yeah, some of the 24hr supermarkets down here open from Monday 6am to Sunday 6pm non stop. That would explain LOL

Hi Nimrod, Staarek,
I know of a lovely couple that we shared marina with for a while that also had a bad experience dealing with the named boat builders. I can get you guys in touch.
All the best
