  1. Yes some of you were incredibly slow to accept Onionbargee had done nothing wrong
  2. Dispute not with her for she is lunatic. Shakespeare.
  3. You make the mistake of thinking that because you haven't heard from CRT so far,you will never hear from them. The rules of the game are open to misinterpretation and change so following what you believe to be correct practise may not suffice.I also have not heard from CRT.Whats the old saying? Ignorance is bliss
  4. I suspect there is more of a problem with interpretation of the Framework than the Framework itself and that misinterpretation is on both sides of the argument.As regards money to park her van,what validity has that to any points raised?
  5. The issue of whats legally required is one thing and the CRT recommendation another,the real concern is where this is all leading,this fear of ethnic cleansing of boaters without a home mooring. The fear of the moving goalpost.
  6. Where did you hear that will change sir and what will actually change? The duration or the sites? i.e. reverting back to roving permits

  10. Come on now,don't be vague,out with it man!
  11. Arthur,John Lewis do a great DAB radio,it is made by Pure. It comes with a power pack which costs extra,this goes where the batteries should go and constantly charges the radio whenever the radio is plugged in even with the radio switched off.Plug it in when your cruising or your engines running,it just seems to run forever on the smallest of charges.Downside for radio and pack is the cost £100. You can buy the radio without the power pack which is £60.If your interested I will look out my old box for the model number.Its a great bit of kit,powerpack is ideal for boats.
  12. Your points are already answered by the good ship Jenlyn. Grant Shapps was the minister in question.
  13. I suspect most of these boat sales fall into two groups,people releasing pensions and couples getting their foot on the property ladder.Last week I met a Bulgarian Accountant with his Polish Girlfriend, I mention their race only as a way of stating how it now cuts across nationalities as much as age groups,something unheard of a few years back.This couple had bought the boat from Stowe Hill, he said and were making some changes to the interior and moving aboard permanently,he had finished his degree at Cardiff University moved to Milton Keynes,hired a boat on the Broads and after realising he was being exploited by a Private Landlord here he was.
  14. There is a lot of Continuous Cruisers who live aboard,work in low paid jobs and can't afford a mooring who are moving every 14 days and covering the CRT recommendation of a minimum of twenty miles in a license period.The boaters that really annoy me are the ones that say "Get a mooring"or "Get a house"absolutely pointless observations,especially in the South East.Canals aren't housing estates some will say,well to some users they are. It was government policy to get more people living afloat a few years back,isn't it now perhaps the case that CRT are now a Landlord as much as a Navigation Authority.
