  1. Has anyone actually resolved this issue yet? I have the same problem. New plugs don’t match the old plugs. Has anyone actually tried the new plugs and do they work?
  2. Brilliant!! Looks like the Mazona is the one! Thank you people!
  3. Ah! I didn't know that! Thanks. I'd still kind of like to know what make it is though.
  4. Could anyone in this erstwhile community please help me identify the make and model of this stove? It has absolutely no branding on it anywhere and I need to replace the grate as it has a fairly large hole in th middle.
  5. Is this based on the adage that "You are what you eat", therefore a cow is a vegetable because it only eats grass? I like that!
  6. Currently on my second Jabsco Parmax. The first one lasted 4 years and then started leaking into the motor housing. From what I've heard it seems think water pumps are fast becoming disposable items. Hunted everywhere for a service kit for the Jabsco and it seems they are unavailable.
  7. So, Tattenhall Marina is now selling and mooring widebeams apparently. I have questions: A. Who buys a widebeam if they're not planning on living on it? I believe Tattenhall is still a leisure only marina? B. How far can you cruise in a widebeam from Tattenhall Marina? C. How do you get your widebeam into Tattenhall Marina in the first place? Can't imagine bringing a 70ft wide through the village or over the railway bridge. D. From experience with a 52ft narrowbeam, I'm not sure how you'd even manage to get a 60ft widebeam into or out of Tattenhall Marina without a very large shoehorn. 70ft? Good luck with that!
  8. Saw a customer in the butchers today wearing surgical gloves, which were split, with his thumb hanging out. I don't know at which point he removed the gloves but they looked like he'd had them on at least since he got up in the morning. So many people simply aren't understanding the mechanisms involved in transmission of this virus.
  9. I've lived, happily, in 52ft for four years and not felt particularly cramped. Yes, longer is better (isn't it always!?), but don't get fall into the trap of thinking you must have 60ft to be comfortable.
  10. Picked mine up in Dewsbury then took it to Tattenhall (Chester) via the Calder and Hebble/ Rochdale route. A nine day trip according to Canalplan. Took me 6 weeks but I learned a lot! Almost everyone I met along the way told me I'd picked a baptism of fire. They weren't wrong! Luckily I missed the floods by a few weeks!
  11. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  12. Not sure of the true legalities of this, but I've heard suggestions that an AirBNB style "letting" isn't the same as renting, at least with a not-floating home. I have no idea how CRT view casual, paid "use by friends" type of letting as opposed to actual "renting". I also know of one situation where a boat owner allows a friend to live on a boat as "caretaker". They have a signed agreement and the friend pays all costs, ie: mooring, licence, insurance but no actual profit is (officially at least) paid or earned. Something like this can work where one owns a surplus boat that they don't want to necessarily part with.
  13. Ouch!! Just as well he'd have compulsory £3m third party insurance cover! Of course, his insurance company will probably try to cite wear and tear on the mooring lines.
