Haha! Well if this doesn’t work out I think I’ll be forced to rely on old fashioned entertainment ?

Yeah I think I’ll have to just look into the details you suggest. I was just hoping that someone would have an easy answer ?

Yeah I’m thinking this might be a workable option with it having a battery and lower power consumption. The only issue is, money wise, your bang-for-buck is much better on a pc. But I admit that I’m probably going to have to spend a bit more to have home comforts.

What’s it like being a grown up, ‘Mr Smelly’? Is it a requirement to be sanctimonious and predictable toward people asking for some friendly advice before you can achieve the title of “adult”?

Firstly, I just want to admit that, yes I know I’m too old to play computer games, yes I should grow up, yes I’m going to get square eyes - I get it. Some people read, someone go for walks, some people watch movies. I do all those things but occasionally I also like to play computer games ? Now that’s covered, I wondered if anyone has experience of PC gnawing on a narrowboat? Specifically, I’m talking about power consumption. I want to build a high-spec gaming PC which obviously would be pretty power hungry. Is this realistically possible without running the engine the whole time? I’d rather not have to pump out fumes and waste money on fuel just to play games if I don’t have to. If it’s not possible I guess I’ll just have to stick to my choose-your-own-adventure books! ? Thanks!

I think that rather than doing less for boaters this more of a strategy for them to go to the government and say "Hey, look how great our charity and our infrastructure is for the health of the nation, something that you have pushed as a policy. Please give us huge financial support to ensure that these health-affirming facilities can be maintained and improved." I don't know where most of the cash flow for CART comes from but I imagine a significant part of it is from licence payers, so I would also imagine that dumping boaters is the last thing they want to do. Perhaps I'm being naive but from by background working in charity and marketing, this looks to me more like an attempt to open more channels of income (which will benefit everyone in the long run) rather than a cynical attempt to dump the needs of the boaters. I mean, if they don't do what we want, such as - maintain tow-paths, uphold the natural beauty, make the cut navigable, etc - then why would anyone what to go for a jog or take their school class for a nature walk? Helping boaters is imperative for their business plan to work. Unless the just sell the land off to property developers ?
