  5. With that crazy logic thinking a 600% increase in the number you guessed at, then 600% above of the real number would also be in 'The Ballpark' say around 42% of boats on the canal are widebeam. Even when presented with facts some people try and twist them because they can not admit they were wrong, just like Trump.

  7. Why is it only people with narrow boats complaining about difficulty passing widebeams? Do widebeams never pass each other? If so how do they manage it without having to post on forums? Asking for a friend ? I agree some people are very inconsiderate when mooring but that is a separate subject. Perhaps some canal banks need to have narrow beam only mooring or only widebeam mooring sections? (widebeam sections only to not use up that space with narrow beams when there are other suitable sections close by) I'll get the popcorn ready.
  8. Is that a feeler gauge? Asking for a friend ??
  9. Most branches of the family tree died at though. I also read that at one time they believe that homo sapiens or a close ancestor got down to just a few thousand in numbers.
  10. I would pay to watch that splicing. ? Some of those chargers are at 400-800 volts.
  11. I am saying think about what you are reading.

  14. It is an article quoting a study paid for by an automobile group and not published in any scientific paper. There are already articles debunking the study, go figure. The first thing I do when reading any article is look for a bias or lack of checking on the part of the author. Most just want clicks and accuracy is not a big part of journalism these days sadly. https://electrek.co/2019/04/22/study-electric-cars-dirtier-diesel-debunked/ When more batteries are recycled the CO2 will be further reduced.
  15. Some vehicles may never be able to charge in the street and will have to use charge points. But charging time will improve. Perhaps some will charge via wireless underground charge points. It will take time to find the best systems. Batteries can be recycled. Also some car manufactures are planning to put used car batteries into grid storage so get more life out of them before recycling.
  16. You had better get cracking on a solution then because according to you a start if it doesn't solve the problem instantly is not worth anything. Just for your info not all electric power for EV's comes from burning fossil fuel and every day it is less and less.

  18. Barking up the wrong tree. It is looking like gasoline and diesel power was a blind alley! So you are almost right. ?

  21. Enter the end point of your journey and Tesla will point you when and where to charge. No thinking needed. And in Europe you can get an adapter for a Tesla to use I believe any charge point.
  22. Well they could if the other manufacturers were not so bloody small minded. Tesla from the start offered to let others use them but they would have to help with the costs proportional to use. Also other cars would have to except a high charge rate and not sit there for hours while charging, plus they would need an adapter. Tesla was the first to offer and build out a network of charging stations when no standard existed but no one wanted to go along with that plan although the offer is still open. As to the signage nothing wrong with publicity and every garage has a sign up.

  24. "The engineer who came out kept pouring water in but it kept disappearing. Long story short, he thought there might be a leak from the skin tank and it also needed a new oil switch. We managed to limp to his boat yard where it stayed till he came back from his hols." Sorry to hear but I think my highlights could be the problem unless he really was the closest boatyard. Like others have stated, an engineer should have some clue where water is disappearing too. Unless the added water was draining overboard he was filling up the boat. Sounds like he might be taking advantage of you and got you to pay for his holiday. You definitely need a second opinion.
  25. I was going to suggest to measure the railings for scale but TheBiscuits method will be scaling from closer to the center line so should be more accurate. The ladder is at a slight angle so not the best but close.
