Not at all matey.Take note of the names of the members who enjoy arguing on the forum it appears to be a vocation for some of them I've already learnt to humour them. Anyway paper mooring nudge nudge wink wink!

Gosh you do have it bad Mike.PM is the button you need to press of you require more information.

Invitation has been given has it not but in true MB form you are not interested in anything other than trying to prove a point that don't need to be proven!!

yes come to my mooring details via pm and I will happily sit you down and educate you but what I'm not going to go is assist you In tossing your ego off on this forum as I have better things to be doing?

I'm being close to the bone I know but at the end of the day if CRT wish to continue in the fashion they are doing so then its only fair nieve people have an even playing field to play on before being taken for a ride!

Yes rent a cheap paper mooring in Manchester so your daughter can happily bridge hop in Bath.

Im not sure how you come to such a conclusion based upon your opinion that is based upon your theory where as my reply is based upon a court decision and facts.Grow up and get over yourself!

Just my thoughts based on this kind of blacking, it's great stuff if you don't cruise as its epoxy otherwise it's pointless expense as it gets scraped off like all blacking on your travels!

I have one from new and like it so much I'm ordering another one with a back boiler for the other end of the boat. I like the little disc on the front that gives very precise control of how fast the fuel burns. At the price of these stoves highlighting the faults just seems pointless as it's not a £900 stove just like an escort is not a BMW.

Bill them £250 for removing a bridgewater carry bag from your prop we can all send people made up numbers it's a private firm they can't do jack.I have a 62 foot narrow boat in very good condition and looking for a widebeam and in sick of Manchester if that's any good to you;)

Sounds great don't it Mike?I have been to court in very similar circumstances and had it thrown out in my favour. Although I had no bins or sewage facility but my mooring terms stated that the boat yard had to move boats around which made it impossible for the council to charge me council tax. I'll find the letter so you and Paul C can print off a copy and roll it up and smoke one each. My opinion is based on life experience not armchair speculation ladies!

Out of interest do you claim housing benefit? If the council charge and take payments on moorings that have no residential status they have effectively granted permission by the act of taking payments for a residential status so will be liable to refund monies if another department refuses planning as they have broken their own law. Alternatively move your boat by its length every two weeks as this will mean you have access to your boat across private land not a mooring!

You need a guy called Giddy, he does a lot of work at Portland Basin Marina also a live aboard and defo knows his stuff he also does a mobile service,here's his number 07979 765432

The local hire day boats often come past our moorings and never slow down its no joke watching a speeding idiot heading towards someone's home!

That sounds interesting Mike but what happens if you want to sell your boat a year on and someone owns a percentage like you state?

Has anyone actually been questioned by the taxman about their fuel split declaration?

I have two questions please? As a live aboard with limited space what would be considered essential but adequate tools for looking after your own boat? I've got too many tools! 2. Where is a good place to securely store them on a cruiser stern? Thanks.
