Because it's part of London, of course it has to adapt with it. You'd be making a big mistake of you thought all or even many London boaters only buy boats because they have to.

Depends what you mean 'depress'. True there wasn't rampant growth but that's not necessarily a good thing in land ownership. Look where boom and bust has led. The housing market was sustainable, affordable and sufficient in the 50s, 60s and early 70s.

Of course there's a way, used to work very well, called the Fair Rent Act and social housing both removed by the representatives of the landowners who have gained billions as a result and directly caused the current crisis where we are now.

I think the process is naturally sifting, what tends to skew this is firstly if it's a trap because of bad housing policy or secondly if CRT make it too difficult for the sorts of boaters they should, if not encourage, at least not vilify and marginalise.

Because all communities need young to replace old over time otherwise the average age rises. In truth I see no shortage of the young on the canals. I would say the distribution is about right. Can't say the same for this forum. But then younger boaters are more likely found on Facebook.

It is reasoned. That you have no answer is simply a reflection of the emptiness of your little sneer. Community is not how you describe it fortunately, most of us live in communities, if you don't I understand your bitterness.

Nice sneer geezer, I can see the twisted nostrils. So community is an 'inconvenience to others'. It must be very lonely, your life.

I suggest you read the thread again. Your question isn't remotely related. It's not about the mechanics of boat movements or regulations, it's about the way the community works.

Very interesting. What was the yard's background did he start in the 50s 60s or did he go back to the industrial carrying? The yellow bend is his mark, yes?

Issue every CRT employee with a Colt 45 Peacemaker and a stetson hat. "You've been warned boatie scum, now eat lead" Yes, I see you point of view.

You really have no idea of what we are talking about, do you? Can't you look beyond this narrow minded muddled thinking ?

As long as the flow the other way is viable. If (younger, diverse) people can check out boatie living but not get trapped if it doesn't suit. I have no problem with crowded canals in London or other urban environments but it needs ultimately to be a positive choice to stay after the first winter to keep it healthy. ....And they need not to be obstructed at every turn by CRT and wealthy lobbyists, who in their ingrained stupidity create the problem they are so scared of.

Depends how you read it,it could mean; the housing situation in London should be improved and boat living will return to those for whom it's a positive choice rather than an escape from housing serfdom. Yes? And? A good thing surely?' In 1940s the housing situation was sorted 'for once and all' until the greed took over, perhaps after the current war we'll do it again.

Richard seems to imply you've tried the procedure in this; http://www.marineengine.co.uk/LH150%20Adjustment.pdf from Peter Thompson. If not you should before writing off the clutch. The alternator is simple, even it's a swap out. Diagnosis is the key.

Turn nasty? You're already there. As happens I have a crap memory and I'd forgotten your objectionable views until you embarked on your racist nastiness. And your views on post 21?

Really? How else does a boat founder? To the OP; £10 a month? You're having a giraffe. PAYG is the only way something like this works but if you don't have a mobile network you don't make any money. So your profit gas to be in the hardware. Perhaps brain plus modules.

Indeed so, if I'd been Mr Vectis, I would have been well pleased. I'm not sure ( but might be wrong) but I think he's still to thank Tony for the accurate answer to his question though one can hardly blame him for being bemused by the crap dumped on this thread by Rachel.

The savings and availability of 24V stuff - no longer at a premium - mean it's a smart move. Solar controllers half the price too. Is that viable?

Have you seen the price of copper? !!

No. It wasn't. It was Torksey by 10-10:15. That's what happened. You do owe him an apology and you owe a charity £2,000. It's all there. There is no excuse. Just you, looking a fool. A fool whose word isn't worth the pixels it's written on.

3 minutes in 3 hours is a lot better than 10% and by any account 10:18 moored is exactly "10 to 10:15". Closer than I could estimate 2 miles let alone 28 Nobody expects NC to her money where her mouth is ( how would it ever fit?) but at the very least she owes Tony an apology for her foul mouthed vitriol over the last couple of days. Still, my analysis of her character is that he, and we, will never see that. Contemptuous.

So Tony's estimate was pretty spot on. I look forward to the charity donation. Is it decided which charity yet?
