I don't assume everyone knows about Canal boats just cos they are using this forum
I'm not to sure anyone an answer this, as plastic cruisers tend to sit high, and steel narowboats sit low.
I thought The Rule on this forum is that there are no stupid questions?
The only silly question is the one you are too stupid to ask.
As engineering drawings always used to say:

The SHOUTY thread title may have been therapeutic. I suppose.

And 80% of forum members would prefer CRT's limited resources to be spent on the really necessary, not the trivial.

We're still weighting ...

I wonder why the fuss and mither about Eunice is all dahn sarf ... ... ... in Manchester, which isn't even halfway up the country it's expected to blow a bit. It might just about take the skin off a rice pudding.

£30,000 p/a is a pretty hefty amount. If they keep making such boo-boos, their salary may not remain as high as that for very long.
Not all that hefty. It is about £1500 lower than the median UK full-time salary.

There's nothing in London we haven't got in Manchester.
Except Londoners.

I couldn't understand a word of what was being mumbled at me all day.
Best part was the motorway out.
Perhaps it is time some of the English realised that being a committed monoglot isn't such a good thing.

CRT should bill the boat owner, who in turn can forward the claim to their insurer.
CRT already knows the identity of the insurance company. Send the claim there!

Presumably it isn't a PROW.

The bridge isn't closed -- to navigation!
It isn't a movable structure.

as it ran down inside the car-wing it would sit and gently corrode the wing away.
...meeting the salt-induced corrosion from the outside, halfway through!

So if the sign was removed after dark the second photo was taken at some point the next day? I can certainly see that they're different photos even without looking at the disappeared sign, it just seems odd how similar they look. They must have been taken at the same sort of time of day and the lighting conditions hadn't changed much. The second one is marginally brighter.
Well spotted. If the photographer took two shots they didn't move the camera or tripod.
Looking at the patch of grass beyond the boats, I'd say the top photo has been Photoshopped.

Where on his boat is the OP supposed to store a telehandler?

Before you try to pump the oil out run the engine so the oil warms up and thins, but d not try it after a loger harder run or the oil could scald your hands. Run until the sump feels nicely warm to the touch.
About 7 or 8 minutes is plenty for my Beta 43.
I find a filter wrench invaluable: mine looks like this:

Can the catch be eaten? If not, I don't see the point -- it's not as if there is any "sport" to be had.

Post some pictures of the labels.
Remember it may be costing you a fortune at the launderette, but generating your own electricty is extremely expensive.
There's a lot to be said for laundrettes.
Wash on, pop over the road for a pint, pop back, stuff into the dryer, over the road for another pint, back to take stuff out, bag it and return to the pub.

You can't live aboard a share boat.
1 hour ago, doratheexplorer said:So much truth here. Probably 80% or more of all boats sit festering away on their moorings, barely used or never used. If their owners actually calculated how much it was costing them per hour they spend on the boat I bet they'd find it would be considerably cheaper to hire a boat now and then when they fancy going boating. If I wasn't a liveaboard there would be next to zero chance I'd own a boat. I might consider joining a boat share though if I was retired.

How do you actually manage to go boating if you can't walk down the gunwales or on the roof? I do both regularly when working locks, coming in to moor etc.
We never walk along the gunwales unless moored up. There's no need.

Recorders. Any size, but preferably alto in F.

A 230v system doesn't need transformers. There are other differences...

I think that was already mentioned earlier in the thread but worth mentioning again and again. It's not something campers or boaters would think of if they weren't aware of the dangers. Even people at home with a bucket for ashes beside the stove while they sit there oblivious of the danger.
We have an ash bucket at home. I never fill it or empty it unless it's cold. It lives in the cellar. Hot ashes stay in the stove until they're not.

Should have bought a metric hose. Water is supplied in hectolitres these days.

When you're in a marina it doesn't really matter how long it takes to fill the tank, does it?

Absolutely right, but a 1hp engine won't get a 10 tonne boat moving.
