cuthound

They have nested at the nearest marina for the last few years. I guess they like the attention. However soon after the cygnets are hatched and able to swim, the parents take them on a trip on the cut, presumably to point out the houses which will feed them.

Wot no battered Mars bar? 🤣😂

Since we lost Zeus, my rescue GSD we already get quite a bit of duck excrement.

I thought that was a rear facing cannon. Ideal for dealing with boats that get too close when you slow down past moored boats...

Just had these guests visit us.

Lockgate are still selling Reflecks diesel drip stoves. Not cheap though. https://lockgate.com/

If it is the Beta lift pump leaking air in, then the engine will start and fun for a short while. In my case just enough time to untie the ropes and get back on. This is because there is air in the filter, which prevents more fuel being drawn into the filter, so once the fuel in the pipes between the filter housing and injectors is used up the engine stops. I doubt this is your problem, because your engine runs for 90-120 minutes, not just 2 or 3 minutes.

Yes, I had the same problem last year.

That is exactly what we did on our shareboats. Life is much simpler now we have an oil drip stove.

No, a typo... (now corrected)

But you don't need to do it for the whole network, just London, which is a relativey rich (I know some parts are very poor). Enforcement would be in a relatively small area, say within the M25.

doh, phat phingers strike again...

Photos please.

I'm sure the commission will increase CRT's powers to enforce more quickly at the very least. So London boaters would either have to keep moving, face enforcement or pay for a residential mooring. If they can't do any of these then living on a boat will not be suitable for them.

The mattress on our bed is thick memory foam and the joint is at 90 degrees to the occupants in a 1/3, 2/3 split. You honestly cant feel it when in the bed.

We did this on our shareboats. Our current boat has a cross bed with split mattress, and we do the same. It takes 39 seconds to slide the base out and drop the filler into place.

No, I am suggesting that CRT should deal with overstayers quickly and in future consider making more online residential moorings available, particularly in London, so that those who do not wish to move can pay to remain in one place.

I fitted one to the exhaust of a CHP plant at a hospital in Belize Park which provided all of the domestic hot water and preheated the central heating for six blocks of local flats. Might be a bit big for a boat though... 🤣
