There are some interesting photographs of the sunk boat, now afloat on this blog NB Bonjour: Short cruise in the rain, and back to Perdiswell Park (stillchuffed.blogspot.com)

The dog rolled in fox poo there, shampooed him wit Head and Shoulders, it was the best we had onboard

It was you who seeded the idea on a thread about getting wood and the fact there are lots of outlets near canals . I am using them at home so stacked in the garage

It will soon be burnt down, vandalised to the ground and then the developers will be able to do what they want with the site

I have been trying these at home I pay £3 for 10Kg. I find them very controllable from just a smoulder to flaring away, a lot cheaper than logs. I thing they would work well in a small stove. My stove is quite large so I mix them in with soft wood

I came across that in Hull some 55 years ago, draining the drip tray into a pot

Thanks for coming back and telling us how you got on, lots don't bother

But the information is only as good as the feedback with updates. I put two in today A guy on Facebook is writing an App. I would hold your breath on it working out well

It a sign of a first class referb I was told.

Unless you are a twirlly

Just don't come back and say you have lost the hook as well. Make sure its well attached.

There is a nice piece of video here (2) Video | Facebook It appared on Google so you may be able to view it

Its an age thing, you forget what you have said/written

That is why lots of them don't.

We went from Ipswich to London, under Tower Bridge, winded in the Pool and then back under the bridge to moor moor. then back to Ipswich on a coach

The answer could be in a thread that has just been posted

It may seriously restrict the flow of water into the tank. Thinking about it didnt we have a posting like that last week, the tank was empty but they couldnt fill it

Of course its damp, you have to have the engine open in daylight hours, regardless of weather so people can look in and go Oooo Arrrr

Well it does rather prove I am not telling lies that I felt was being suggested earlier

From this photo it looks as if the pound below the lock has dropped 6 to9" since the boat started to come out by looking at the water line on the wall and hull

This was a comment on the newspaper report when someone asked how it happened No, there are earlier photos of the boat firmly wedged. This can happen because a brick has protruded from the lock wall over time or a ridge in the wall has developed at a particular height. It appears the owners tried the quite sensible remedy of opening the above paddles slightly and flushing the boat out the lock, but it remained wedged or caught on something so the extra water flooded the boat. It's always sad to see anyone's home and possessions get severely damaged like this, shame on those who think it's funny.

They were well stuck, half out of the lock in the first video I saw

The email address is on there now, aswell

Its a talk being give to the Northampton IWA branch in April by people who have done it in the past There is now

I did first time, £100 shouldn't be far out
