  2. couple of questions: what do you use at the other end of the deck wash ? A karcher lance or such like? And do you pick up water from the canal or feed it from fresh water? I saw this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EUW28JUfor £17 , it says it's 0.8mpa which google helpfully translates to 110 psi - so I guess something doesn't add up but it might make a good deckwash
  3. This Dylan Winter? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cc5mr
  4. Here in France we have exactly what you propose. A boat with a mooring pays when it navigates, if it doesn't navigate it doesn't pay. Short term licenses are a high portion of the year license so there's no sense of anyone not paying their way. There's also plenty of boats that don't go anywhere paying a yearly mooring fee. Neither of these figures are the laughable amounts you pay in England. €3,000 to stop by a towpath with no water and electric. Incroyable! We also have the VNF who know how to run a professional canal and river system, a government who sincerely believes it works on behalf of the people. What we don't have is the mickey mouse outfit CRT who couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.

  6. Again you assume she was without insurance. Are you alleging the boat was unlicensed too? And I'll ask you. What should she do now? Sleep on the streets?
  7. I am not quite sure what Dave believes the next steps for Ms Dunne should be, the workhouse presumably.
  8. You should be ashamed of yourselves, as should the cowards that gave you greenies. I hope you never ever come on to this forum or anywhere else seeking help. and you
  9. Have you tried Port Saint-Saveur - it's the port du plaisance run by the mairie in Toulouse? If they don't have one they will certainly know of one. port-saintsauveur@mairie-toulouse.fr 0033 5 61 22 22 17 in fact they do have one "une rampe de mise à l'eau" There's also one at Ramonville-st-agne 11km along the Canal du Midi - but that's cheating I guess or, if worse come to worse, speak to the VNF at Toulouse, 0033 5 61 36 24 24 - there's a woman there who speaks English, Stefanie Johnson
  10. Would you mind answering a few questions, Mark: 1. Why were/are not NABO willing to share the decision with Nigel Moore if they were prepared to share it with CRT? 2. Can any of NABO's members obtain a verbatim copy of the advice? 3. What is NABO's policy of aiding with legal advice any of its individual members who find themselves on the wrong side of one of CRT's recent actions?
  11. we'll let us hope the counter argument is effective.
  12. as it is the property of its members there should be some transparency about it.
  13. Thank would be my assumption. In the absence of any facts it seems fair to give her the benefit of the doubt. The boat is afloat and she's dealing with it. some support for that would be good rather than a Mail-alike pack of hounds.
