North, about a mile further on.

That's the one. My parents are visiting tomorrow and I've asked myou father to bring the Stanley Holloway CD so I can make a back up copy for him (and keep it safe at my house ?)

The view of the piling opposite my mooring. Definately about 6 inches down to the "tidemark". I note that CRT have issued a stoppage notice for Glascote Locks for 21st August, to remove an obstruction from a paddle. I wonder if this is why the pound is so low?

The pound between Atherstone bottom and Glascote top is currently about six inches down (it was lower until the recent rain). My modern boat draws about two foot six inches and I cannot get the back within a foot of so of the bank at my EoG mooring.

My father had a illustrated book of Stanley Holloway monologues, which, when I was a boy, he used to read to me in a broad Lancashire accent. Unfortunately the book got lost. Years later I bought him a CD of Stanley Holloway performing these monologues. What a shock, when it turned out Stanley was a cockney, not a Lancastrian. My favourite monologue was "three ha'pence a foot". It is also loosely related to the inland waterways ?

Correct. Ericsson were using transistors to shunt charged lead acid battery cells for quicker charging in the early 80's. Worked well and shortened charging times by an hour or two but the shunt components were mounted on top of the cells and vulnerable to damage ehen topping up. Has the bunny been made redundant? ?

I was led to believe that is heat whilst charging that kills phone and laptop batteries early. Some people leave them on charge for hours even when they are charged.

Not if the BMS was programmed to switch in a dummy load at the same time. Neither have I, but if there is no surface charge the cell voltage should drop to off load voltage pretty quickly. I'm just thinking aloud, as I said I have no practical experience of any Lion batteries beyond iPod, mobile phones and power tools.

Not necessarily, the BMS could automatically interrupt charge for a millisecond every 10 seconds or so to calculate SoC.

Catch 22 eh, mm might have to rename my boat ?

Being pulled over for speeding probably ?

I don't know much about lifepo4 batteries and chargers, but surely if off load battery voltage can be accurately tranlated into SoC and there is no surface charge, then charging SoC can be measured by momentarily interrupting the charge?

3 way fridges do not use freon. They are absorbtion type fridges, which rely on a heat source evaporating a liquid (usually a water/ammonia or water/bromide solution. The danger from heeling over is that the gas flames will no longer be where they should be, so may set fire to something. However surely this could have been resolved with an angle sensitive gas shut off valve.

And caravans can heel over a bit on fast corners too, as Top Gear proved ?

I intend to walk down there with my youngest son, probably on Saturday. I am tempted to take my rescue GSD Zeus along to see if he is comfortable with crowds.

As always, things seem to tend towards the lowest common denominator. ?

The big turbocharged and intercooled diesels that I was familiar with in standby generators were about 45% efficient. I would expect a normally aspirated diesel engine, as used in as boat to be about 40% efficient. Incidentally the current generation of petrol powered engines used in Formula One racing cars are reputedly 50% efficient, because of the turbocharger, heat recovery from the turbo and regenerative braking. The latter two being converted to electrical energy to power a hybrid system.

Wiring diagrams are usually schematic, showing what is connected to what, but not the route the wires take. On my boat (Kingsground) all wires are numbered at the ends, so you can refer to the diagram to see what the other end is connected to, and be sure you have the correct one.

It's a better argument for testing the sanity of potential boat owners before allowing them to buy one ?

The Warwickshire Ring gives the greatest variety. An alternative not mentioned would be the North Oxford to Hawkesbury Junction, Coventry to Marston Junction and to the end of the Ashby and back? Only 4 operable locks each way (and one of those is a stop lock). Very relaxing.

No if it's been isolated it must be an electrical fault ?

Indeed, if there isn't enough clearance to pass a parked car, you will have to wait until the owner moves it ?

As convincing a case as I have ever seen on why cyclists should be compulsory required to carry registration numbers and 3rd party insurance. Also evidence as to why a cycling test and issue of a licence if you meet the required standard of proficiency is needed. If they had the same points system as car drivers most of those cyclists in the video would have lost their licence before they reached the end of their journey!
