  2. Although you might want to think twice about mooring next to where the big crane will be coming alongside the canal ...
  3. Mine is a multipurpose bubble tester. She can test cava, prosecco, champagne and tonic water.
  4. You are skipping over the point that households had less than one car each on average then. Now it's two and a bit on average, maybe three.
  5. About ten grand should cover it for the steelwork and reconnecting the electrics and plumbing. Internal refit and external painting will be extra. Note that isn't sarcasm - the only difference between adding 1 inch or 10 feet is the extra steel. I'd say you could end up with a 16 foot stretch for about 12 grand.

  11. Yeah, I know you are not. But if I'd picked anyone less obviously NOT Chris Pink there might have been a glimmer of doubt! Not sure about Mike though

  13. ricco isn't as good at it as he thinks he is. Chris had about seven going I think, and could argue with himself for weeks on several threads. If he wasn't busy elsewhere I could suspect @MJG and @Mike the Boilerman as being his creations!
  14. By which doppelganger? He really was the "Master of Puppets".
  15. The other way to look at this is that it took her 4 days for you to decide you were leaving in a month, not in three months, regarding something you asked about before going into their marina in the first place. I'd want to know about it if it was my marina.
  16. Maybe @ivan&alice could watch it and share his impressions with us...
  17. I have just had the same look from MrsBiscuit because I was looking at boats for sale. Again. I promised her it was OK because I'm looking on behalf of someone else ...
  18. £500 in the Preston area - I reckon it's down at Douglas Marine or at Tarleton. Wouldn't fit on your drive though!
  19. and one for @sailor mcgee : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38ft-Gentlemans-cruiser-Motor-Power-Boat-River-Cruiser-Yacht-Project/153283217018
  20. That's better than a ripped out tub - if nothing else, you have all the old bulkheads, seats and lockers to use as templates, which saves a lot of messing about with a tickstick or a measure. Twin diesels, so no messing around with petrol on the canal.
  21. We still have Pacers running on the Northern Rail network. There would be a list of volunteers to stack & light the fire, probably on Saturday when they are all stationary anyway!
  22. http://wcbs.org.uk/ Or here ... she seems to have some relevant experience and skills.
  23. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001fvx On iPlayer
  24. So charge for the service. Signing for 5 parcels doesn't take much longer than signing for one. It might be a planning restriction though - that's quite common for marinas that have both residential and leisure berths.
