Another thing to remember is that canal boats are not made to precision engineering standards, so a boat sold as a sixty footer could actually be 58 foot or 62 foot when measured properly.

Many boaters who wish to stay 2 or 3 days on a mooring fit solar panels, so that for 8 months of the year the sun will help charge your batteries.

I see they have removed the figurehead... ?

That must be engaging ?

No need for the h because an Erlang is the number of telephone calls handled by a switch (exchange) in an hour. ?

Hmm, I seem to have come across a dogstable! ? Take her to agility classes. It will do wonders for her confidence as she learns to walk on a high plank, A frames and see-saw.

My narrow boat is fitted with a "Prop Protector". I was sceptical at first, but after 5 years and doing a fair bit of cruising in the BCN the only thing that it hasn't coped with was someones discarded cratch cover.

Reminded me of my first rescue dog, "Kim". She was a star and appeared in the following: Kimdiana Bones and the Lost Bark, and, Kimdiana Bones and the Kennel of Doom. ?

My first thought was that their propellors might have become entangled with something like an abandoned fishing net.

On my Beta 43, I painted the lever on my stop solenoid red, so that it can be quickly identified and operated by anybody in an emergency.

Indeed, our old dog, Buster, the one in my Avatar, had his first canal holiday on the K&A in 2001. On the first evening he leapt off the boat onto the tow path as I was tying up, but wouldn't walk the plank or jump back on to the boat . I spread a line of treats along the plank to temp him to use it, and he followed them. Mind you it was amazing how far he stretched with one hind leg still on the bank, before finally giving into temptation and putting all of his paws onto the plank. After that he had no trouble using the plank until his balance went in his dotage.

No you are Dr Bob (and possibly confused ?)

So did I. My last BX was a BX19 TZi Estate. A wolf in sheep's clothing, as it had the engine, close ratio gearbox and suspension (but not the wide wheels & tyres) from the GTi . Rode almost as smoothly as a normal BX but didn't need the optional rubber door handles to corner quickly! It did over 200,000 trouble free miles except for a minor incident where the differential's planetary gears escaped through the gearbox casing ?

It might be of interest to.an art thief ?

Shouldn't make any difference. Eco fans work by turning heat into electricity to drive the fan, so should work equally well on any type of stove, or indeed any surface that is hot enough.

I agree, perhaps after a couple of escalations it might be interesting to see what Richard Parry thinks off his underlings customer focus?

Might help the OP more if you expressed that as a percentage of the original purchase price.

Keep chasing them. "They don't like it up am Mr Mannering" ? If they don't respond after two chases raise it to the next level of management. "They don't like it up 'em Mr Mannering" ?

Indeed, KISS, unless you want it to keep going wrong.

I believe he was found down the back of Tumshie's settee, or was that Rusty?

I did the same but got a local fabricator to cut and bend a piece of aluminium so that it wedges between the stiles, yet is easily removed so that the "plank" can also be used as a rescue ladder.

PEBKAC (I used to share an office with a guy who provided computer support and he often used to scream "PEBKAC" after patiently talking a customer through a problem, immediately after he put the phone down. Apparently is stands for "problem exists between keyboard and chair")

I didn't say it was the overall diameter of the cable, I said it was the csa, but it seems my spellchecker changed it to can. ? The overall diameter of standard 70mm2 cable is larger than 70mm2 welding cable because there are bigger minute gaps between the larger individual strands than there are between smaller individual strands, plus the insulation is a different thickness.
