And that is before you include slow blow, motor rated and the various specialist fuses. The largest one I have ever come across is a 5000 amp one, used to protect a 15,050Ah battery, similar to the one below. A little known fact is that they can provide much tighter protection than circuit breakers.

Does anyone want their boat Vinyl Wrapped?
cuthound replied to Jimmiboy's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
I would think that repairing the inevitable scratches would soon erode the initial cost-saving over a professional paint job. -
The best roast beef I have ever tasted came out of our air fryer. It does mean steaks as well and the bacon cooked in it is divine. Best kitchen gadget I have ever bought. Our traditional oven is rarely used now unless we have guests, and even then it is relegated to keeping the batches cooked in the air fryer warm.

Given the amount of money this government has "spent", there must be a veritable forest of magic money trees somewhere. Does anyone know where I can get a cutting off one?
-
Indeed, that is why I put "savings" in quotation marks in my post above. What do expect. It will have been produced by The Treasury and they have never been good with numbers...

A couple of days ago the government announced plans to spend the "savings" from cancelling the northern part of HS2 on upgrading transport in the North and Midlands. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/local-leaders-to-receive-47-billion-to-transform-transport-across-the-north-and-midlands#:~:text=Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and,%2C towns%2C and rural areas.

The Aylesbury Canal Society publish a Launderette List, detailing public launderettes close to the canal network. http://aylesburycanal.org.uk/laundrette-list/ It is what we used to do before buying a washing machine for the boat.

Are you sure he wasn't just re-inventing the wheel?

I've always said you can judge how good (oe bad) a driver is by his no claims bonus...

The ones I used to work on didn't have tops...

Until fairly recently, if you were rich enough, you could leave a large cash deposit (£500,000 when it was revoked) with a high court rather than take out a motor insurance policy and still comply with the road traffic act. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/motor-insurance-alternatives-removal-of-deposit-and-security-options IIRC it was £50,000 when I passed my driving test way back in 1971.

Back in the days before Grindley Brook had a lock-keeper, I was stuck in a queue for over 4 hours. I dispatched Mrs Hound to see why we weren't moving. It turned out there were a lot of boats coming down, who just kept entering the staircase, so no one could go up. Mrs Hound sorted it out eventually, and since then I always try to overnight at Grindley Brook and go through first thing in the morning.

That Is the advice I was given when I bought my boat 10 years ago, run the Webasto (very similar to the Eberspacher) for an hour on and an hour off, don't let it run at half power and only get it serviced when it goes wrong. To date I've had no problems with it.

I've been forced to follow really slow widebeams in that area a couple of times, but fortunately none travelling that slowly...

I had that yesterday, but it worked straight away after I pressed "Try again".

When I joined Post Office Telephones (International Branch), back in 1972 I and all of the other entrants I joined with were subjected to a pretty comprehensive medical, which included tens of charts with multi-coloured splodges on them. Each one had a number hidden in it, which was only visible if you didn't have colour blindness of the colours the chart was looking for.

Yes that is Kimberley. Sadly I didn't take any photos which show the name and can't remember which camping boats we hired from UCC (2 boats for the scouting holiday and a single boat the following year for myself and a group of friends).
