Yes, you do. What SIC coded activity do you think is missing off the list? It's not a list written by CRT!

I thought you'd just done that in reverse - turned half a tonne of gold into a boat!

0 m/s It's not terminal until it suddenly stops ...

Facial recognition isn't half as good as a turnstile for winding cyclists up ... 🤣

It's in the special section, next to the lift bridge documents ...

Maybe her quality of life is worth more than forty quid, but Tracy's isn't ...

Ooh, Smash and baked beans. I haven't had that for years!

Fuel boat steerer ...

It's shorthand for the "B ark" or more formally the "Golgafrincham Ark Fleet Ship B" Maybe @Bee used to be a telephone sanitiser 😁

That's a heck of a support act! 🤣

I'd recommend a trip to the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, particularly the top floor display of illegal offensive weapons. MrsBiscuit was quite impressed as I was walking along a display case of items saying "Yeah, and one of those, and one of those and two of them, but mine was the smaller version..." At the end of the row there's a large sign pointing out that simple possession of anything in the display is worth 5 to 10 years in prison. I'm fairly sure that wasn't true in the 1980s, or the 1990s would have been quite different for me!

Don't say that, she's lovely! 🤣

Yeah, I wondered if it was that one as well. One of the neighbouring boats told me they do it to try and dissuade non-residents boats from using the services and winding hole. Surely the best way to avoid getting bumped there during the challenge would be to take part!

He should be reasonably sympathetic to sewer tubes then! 🤣

No, but they only allow you through the rotating sea lock at certain times. You can still go for a jolly on the River Ribble when there's enough water in the River Douglas, but you're staying out for 24 hours at least ... Preston Docks or Douglas boatyard by prior arrangement are the only realistic options for narrow boats.

Perhaps you should have been!

The Ribble Link is Savick Brook. I think some of the confusion here is that you're claiming the shallow muddy ditch with locks is deep water, which it isn't when navigation is permitted. When the water is flooding over the tops of the locks, you'd not want to be on it in a boat! The River Ribble itself however certainly is deep water, in fact CRT won't allow passage up to the Ribble Link on anything less than a 9m tide or passage down the link on less than an 8.5m tide.

Gangplank as it happens, from the edge of the dock to the boat.

This is stereotyping Scots
