  1. Reminded me of those books that were popular a few years ago. Canals for Dummies.
  2. Realised as soon as I pressed the button and altered it.
  3. Current flow upstream at Offord on Great Ouse. It has been so high it was outside the range of the measuring device.
  4. I was only thinking yesterday how much the Ashton has changed, for the better over the 16 years since Joanie M was launched in Worsley. The extension if the tram system is, to some extent responsible for this but not solely. The Eithiad Stadium and the Sports Centre opposite, the large Asda, the Velodrome, the Man City training ground, the Police Training Centre, have all changed the canal for the better. In my opinion.
  5. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  6. Yes. 4 pubs in GMC, all with real ale.
  7. In the past but I'm in Huntingdon now on the River Great Ouse on a widebeam so not likely to get there sgain. Whilst there's a pub directly opposite our mooring, it's a generic Greene King with OKish beer and appears on the Caskfinder app. The only pub within easy distance is the Wetherspoons. The Falcon with up to 15 real ales available doesn't appear. The King of The Belgium's which is GBG listed doesn't appear.
  8. Only assume that this area is some sort of black hole. Just tried Caskfinder and doesn't list half the pubs here that are Cask Marque. I'll stick to the Good Beer Guide for now.
  9. Just downloaded the Android version but pretty useless. Out of the 15 or so pubs in Huntingdon that sell real ale only one, Wetherspoons, is listed. Out of about 10 in St. Ives it only lists 2, one of which is a beer shop, not a pub.
  10. Environment Agency licence. And you will need EA Abloy key.
  11. Thanks, I well aware of the problems with the multiplug and had already suggested the owner look at them.
  12. Plus the electricity charge or included?
  13. But I would expect the alternator to self excite when revved and it doesn't. Domestic voltmeter shows definitely not charging. Pouring with rain here so will have to wait before I start looking.
  14. My neighbours Beta 75, about 17 years old with twin alternators, has stopped charging the domestic batteries. It has the C type control panel but with LEDs rather than normal warning lamps. The domestic LED doesn't illuminate either with ignition on or if engine running. It still doesn't charge if the engine speed is increased so I'm assuming an alternator fault. However before I start looking as it probably a rats nest of wiring how is the alternator charge circuit arranged?
  15. Here at Hartford Marina we have several floating 'lodges', some purpose built, some caravans on pontoons. 2 years ago they gave notice to one of the caravans. She had a Certificate of Lawful Occupation? which gave her residential status. She took them to court and won, the judge ruling that the regulations re caravan sites applied. The marina retaliated by increasing their mooring fees well above inflation.
