  1. I've passed Connor a few times on my travels around the network and found him to be a decent fella who is also helping raise his young family. I can't believe the hoo ha of this thread. 10 pages deep 😳. The guy is a sole trader and has many years experience of moving boats without incident and plenty of glowing reviews. The whole thing about the Co-Op... really? It's a post office and you are allowed to have a post office address. Surely narrowboaters and liveaboards know the challenges of getting post when you live afloat? Unless those throwing shade don't live aboard and are just your classic forum, keyboard warriors, with nothing better to do. I'm lucky to be able to use a family address but that's not an option for everyone and it will be a challenge for me once my parents pass on. I recently helped Connor on a delivery, with the consent of the owner. As a qualified skipper myself and with a few yacht deliveries under my belt myself, it was interesting to see him in action and the care he afforded the clients boat. He has fixed engines and even washed a boat on a delivery to the Peak Forest canal. I really don't understand the negativity and vitriol aimed at a guy who is hardworking and going the extra mile.
  2. I was told that the crescent and full orb represent the sun and the moon because the working boats worked night and day.
  3. This is an interesting solution https://www.kerolhardware.co.uk/glass-brackets/stainless-steel-shelf-support-for-sloping-wall.html I want to fit shelves to the side kitchen wall and I didn't want to guess the required angles.
