Best boat cooker in my opinion.

Not guilty

Well it didn't put them off.

Heading south, we would have one person steering the boat round and then start setting the lock while the other one pops to the sani station. Heading north might pause on the water point before the lock.

I think she said she was going to fill her tank from the canal.

It is mentioned many times on their website.

Yes, I meant CRT trained volunteers.

I don't know if this is universal but my local canal society have someone 'CRT trained' present when they do vegetation work. This may well apply to all power tool use.

Yes well I could do without him.

The notice has been updated but I didn't see it published. Now says that levels have recovered on the Braunston Summit so that as much water as possible can be supplied. The situation is being monitored and will be reviewed on 30th June 2025 in case restrictions are needed to Hillmorton and Calcutt. The notice has been updated but I didn't see it published.

He was only 3 years old, being potty trained, at the time of filming. However, I agree she said she was a teacher.

Her words not mine. Perhaps a BSS person would not know whether a particular appliance could be repaired or altered.

Security of tenure?

Time will tell. I was impressed by her determination to make it work. I think the BSS cost may have been due to converting a leisure use boat to liveaboard. She said that the cooker and water heater were 'condemned'. I don't know about the water heater but perhaps the cooker didn't have flame failure devices.

Not a Springer!

A lot of pubs do lunchtime food on Sundays rather than evening. If you want to eat out on the Sunday evening, can I recommend you research in advance and possibly book.

The cat will lie on the floor where is it coolest. Draw the curtains, of course.

I think IWA have previously said 'a maximum of six hours apart'.

I wonder if provision of toilets for volunteer lock keepers will make any difference. I understand that toilet facilities must be available for VLKs. Does it say anywhere how long a day's cruise is?

Probably the tap then. Try flushing out and refilling. Tasting the water before filling up is a good hint someone gave us.
