It's like all pastimes-- if you can't afford 'em, you can't do 'em.

Using a vacuum cleaner is supposed to be good exercise, and is vastly preferable to going to a gym, as well as being cheaper.

An extra 4% on GDP would have been handy too.
Or rather, not losing 4% in the first place.

I've had a few pints with Tim Woodward (actor son of Edward).
He was quite famous back in the 70s and 80s. Died just a couple of months ago: he was older than me, but not by much!

Only to make it look good, but not needed for security of mooring.
I'd go for security of mooring over fancy rope tricks any day, and twice on Thursdays.

It is my understanding that if a structure has wheels, it is mobile and therefore does not need planning permission. The OP might need pp to live on the site for an extended period though (more than 28 days?)

It strikes me rather there will always be some things which some people with disabilities will be unable to do.
That's no excuse to stop trying to cater for them, but the fact remains that some activities will remain impracticable or impossible.
That's why disabled provision has to be discussed dispassionately without points-scoring.

I just wish the buggers at CRT could spell.

Folding bike. I have one free to a good home if anyone is interested.

Looks like a good time to buy some Isopon shares.
Can you still buy Plastic Pudding?

Yes, I've had that problem too.

Sounds like good logic! Where will I find this Multipin connector?
It joins two fat black multistrand cables together, and is probably sitting over the back of the engine or near the gearbox. Nick is quite right, an electrical fault doesn't stop a diesel unless the stop solenoid has shorted out, but it is still worth checking.
-
All the above is likely correct, and by far the best diagnosis. However being a Beta 43, do check first that the multipin connector hasn't worked loose.
i tend to work on the basis that it's worth doing the simple things first. You don't want to be cleaning out a fuel system to cure a silly electrical fault.

Eew, bottom air.
That's a new coinage.

Or he could leave the boat at home, get a train into Manchester, and enjoy some decent beer in a proper pub.
Just kidding: decent ale can be found in Brum. Or at least, my quest some 13 years ago succeeded.

According to my West Yorkshire-born better half, it's "Kite-ly".
But meanwhile back at the article, this is what some of us foresaw back in 2012 when Cam-moron had his big idea.

The bendy buses in Manchester run on rails.
We call them "trams".

>> Although I think the marina have a number of questions to answer, not about the fire but the response.
The response of the marina was, presumably, to call the Fire and Rescue Service. I don't think the staff could reasonably be expected to do anything else.
Remember "Get out, call us out, stay out"?

Not really, or at least, not with equal weight.
It's interesting that the OED definition of the verb license uses practise (verb).
The "interchangeablity" makes no sense.

It is rather like practice.
And advice.

Wouldn't you have a strainer trap in the gulper inlet pipe to prevent that?

Yes and also it isn't much at all considering thay by declaring cc one can bypass the need to pay local taxation in the form of council tax.
If the CRT were doubling the price of the licence it would get close to council tax but they aren't so it doesn't.
Charging for all moorings is the next move I reckon.
Thank you for being able to spell licence (noun) and, may I presume, license (verb).

Contact a local car windscreen company, most can cut a piece of laminated glass on the spot.
Or a cab glazing company that works on tractors, JCBs etc.

External paint colour schemes
in General Boating
Posted
Does anyone actually decide on a paint scheme on the basis of what anyone else might think of it?
Paint the bugger whatever colours you want, and stuff public opinion.
