  1. 8kg is about 9kg isn't it ? I'd really not worry.

  4. Don't forget the blue passports...
  5. Apologies if this has already been posted - but great photos. Hope the owner can get the boat back safely when this all dies down. "Photographer Matt Short spotted this narrowboat sitting half on the towpath next to Barrow Road just outside Barrow upon Soar, near Loughborough . Its front end is sticking up in the air because it is balanced on what is obviously a very well-made barrier. A member of staff at The Mooring pub nearby said: "It happened last week in the floods when the water came up really high." https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/narrowboat-ends-up-stranded-towpath-3892880#comments-section

  7. A sensible decision for Ireland. They're up there with Poland with using solid fuel to heat houses. In its most recent air quality report, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) noted that 1,180 people die prematurely due to air pollution in Ireland every year. The report – published on World Lung Day – found that particulate matter (fine particles) from domestic burning of solid fuels was one of two main culprits of poor air quality. Nitrogen dioxide from vehicle emissions in urban areas was the other.

  9. Beautiful looking boat. None of us know why it's being sold but I'd be amazed if everyone's life plans went according to plan.

  13. I'm pretty sure that the younger generation are more aware of dangers now than previous ones. They have YouTube and TikTok and Twitter and WhatsApp to see plenty of stunts going wrong. The old fogies on here might have to ask their grandkids about these platforms. It's getting very boring listening to old folks talk down the young.
  14. Oh yes. Common sense is exclusive to the older generation. And each generation talks down the next generation.
  15. Yes definitely need long days for that. And it's a lovely run but it's all typical English countryside. Not what our Norwegian pals want.

  20. As I say. I'm a keen cyclist. 20mph is pushing it. The vast majority of cyclists won't be that fast. Every car will be. Cars kill hundreds each year. Nobody's bothered as it's been normalised.
  21. Are they going past the cars ? 2 tonnes of metal at 20mph is lot more dangerous than 80kilos doing 20mph.
  22. Ah that's that there London - odd things happen there. Don't think it was speeding - riding furiously is usually the charge.
  23. Perfectly fine to pedal any bike over 15.5 mph. I don't believe speed limits apply to bicycles as they don't require speedometers and realistically nobody is going to get past 30 mph for any period of time unless they're professional standard. I can catch e bikes using my normal bike but I'm sure I'm going to get passed on a hill one day by an e bike. If it's steep they have the advantage.
  24. Aah. Yes. I've swam at HPP too. A lot of geese poo. Yuk. Much nicer in the Lakes !
  25. He has you know. https://metro.co.uk/2009/10/27/mark-williams-242175/
