They do there own cream cleaner or you could use the lemon crean cleaner it dosent have the bleach in it

My bike lives in the Butty a whole 70ft shed for it

I use to have a pair of Polecats on the front of our old boat Molly Maguire for a few Years they used to cause a stir at time when people thought they were rabbits

I agree Monarch is a heavy old cow and very deep in the water but they also think they will beat you !!! But they always lose as weight is everything

The engine at the shadlow rally is the one that is about to be taken out of x FMC Trout ?? I think It was put in Tout in 2005 as we had there Last Lister JP for Monarch and is for sale along with a K2 they are about to put another Lister JP2 in her

I would like to see those and I bet George would i will show them him He certainly takes a great pride in his boats Viv

It was a Joke that Probably went to far in the end and George was threatened with being sued which was when he said his adress was the nut house at Cheddletion George was moored at Longport whilst Monarch was being done Puppis George had actually worked this butty when he was younger. It won the National as well it was a lovely looking butty

I was with George last night a he was on about that story again and the man who used to own Monarch and the bullet holes that England has down just below her gunnels them what we call rivets !!!!! And the adrdress George told the guy to Correspond with him to was The Nut House at Cheddleton I think you will find it was a big wind up otherwise when you google it something would come up and it doesnt and nothing is registed on the small ships register there was a Monarch but not mine

So does Barton Turns Marina and the Boat Musuems A couple were out of print Ebay sometimes have them keep your eye open they are very good I have had them for a few years
