There you go. Some people actually like entering a shed which is spattered with other peoples sh*t just to add their own splatter to it. Others abhor it and prefer to have nothing to do with the stuff. There is no answer.

They are not allowed to charge any more for electricity than they pay for it. However they can charge for providing the facillity. On our moorings this costs £90 p.a.

Q. What do you call a banjo at the bottom of the cut? A. A start.

Can someone explain what this is all about? I've looked through the thread and can't really find anything very cotroversial in Guitar Doctor's posts. At least nothing more offensive that the usual arguments. Is it because he is relativley new?

The vent at the bottom of our gas locker is about 2" above the waterline. It is always wet inside but it is blacked and the fact that it is wet doesn't matter a jot. Hoe about lining it with polythene at the bottom and then using concrete?

After 25 years with a mortgage I now have an asset worth some £200,000. After 25 years renting the tennant has just one more month's rent to find and no more than he can save given that he has a monthly outgoing much the same as the house owner. I had a spare house until a year ago, sold it and made £40,000 in eight years on an investment of £50,000 and that is without the rental income of about £28,000. Maintenance cost me about £3,000 in that time. Those kind of figures are not possible nowadays but nevertheless bricks and mortar on the whole appreciate so it is worth borrowing money to get a house considering that you would have to pay out the same amount or more in order to rent. Most people rent because they cannot raise the deposit required for a mortgage. They are paying out much the same each month as those who are lucky enough to get a loan. This may be a British attitude but that does not make it wrong.

I'm beginning to believe that you are either obsessed with toilets and their contents or you are a Thetford employee. How on earth do you manage to divert a conversation about a survey to the usual boring pumpout/cassttre debate? A tiny mention of a toilet is enough to start you off.

TW marine supply and fit both Hurth gearboxes and Aquadrives. They are a very helpful firm although I believe that Willie Webb who ran it has died. A great pity - he was very helpful and knowledgeable. The firm is still going with Nick in charge I think. He is also very helpful and has a lot of experience.

If we have a poll will you take any notice of the result?

£499 from Bose. Mind you I wouldn't spend that much on a boat system unless I lived aboard. We have two at home - one replacing the bulky system we had in the lounge before and one in the bedroom

Personally, if I was to install a system I'd use the Bose acoustic wave system. By far the best on the market and yes, you can run them on 12v. Link

I'ver just had a look atr your speakers and have a question: What is the point of having a stereo amp when the speakers are so close together and in the same enclosure?

It is all a bit difficult to prove that a person didn't do something though. I walk my dog every lunchtime on the local recreation fields. I always pick up her mess. However , one day the dog did a crap whilst this woman was near us. She said "I hope you are going to pick that up" in a very beligerant manner. As I don't much like being told what do I told her in no uncertain terms to go away and waited for her to leave the area before I picked up the mess. She must have noted down my car registration number because I got a call from the local dog warden claiming that I had failed to pick up my dog's crap. I explained that I had picked it up after the woman had left but he was pretty stroppy and threatened me with legal action. My response was "If you think you can prove that I failed to pick it up then go ahead". I heard nothing more.

We use BioMagic. It seems to work well.

But cassette users should be left to wallow in their own filth.

A wig and a dress.
