  1. Why did C&RT give the months free license when they must have been in similar financial difficulties as they are today ? There was no need for it as Covid was not their fault. As for the discount being repeated it doesn't surprise me . By using a paper method of obtaining a license via a marina a friend managed to get to the end of a license period without paying . By the time C&RT caught up with him his bss had expired . So C&RT refused to take his money even though the bss had been in date throughout the license period. He tried to pay the backdated fee after the new bss was in place but C&RT had written off the debt.

  4. If so why would they want to come to the UK and why would they arrive with no passport and no other identification?

  6. That has been the case for some years now. On the River Trent only a very small number of lock keepers are now paid employees . In the not too distant past the non tidal locks were all manned by paid lock keepers , although it was mostly seasonally employed work and probably a low rate of pay.
  7. As a general guesstimate overheads usually equal salary. So not surprising if the cost per volunteer does equal a decent wage. It never costs simply a wage to employ someone. If they were paid employees the cost would of course be even greater .

  9. I would suggest it is better to leave Boston rather than to arrive there.

  11. Maybe someone who wants some animal bedding would take your sawdust and provide you with some firewood .
  12. It could be that a ships lifeboat has no external fuel filler but this may be because of forces associated with the launch of the lifeboat rather than wind and waves. Seagoing pleasure craft have external fuel fillers and breathers
  13. In year 2000 we lived where we are now in Farndon. The highest recorded river level was November 2000 and that was not exceeded this time. I can confirm that by observation that the flood entered our garden but did not extend as far up the garden as it had in 2000. Similarly the river gauge at Muskham shows the level this time was not a new record. Muskham is just upstream of Cromwell. However a new record was set this time at Torksey.

  15. A new record high achieved at Torksey on the tidal R Trent
  16. What has changed ? The exemption written into the regulations 4-(g) The Recreational Craft Regulations 2017 (legislation.gov.uk)
  17. There are some properties flooded nearby The water level was not quite a new record and hopefully is to recede now The following from the river gauge in the marina just now.
