If she really is 74' you wont be taking her very far 🙂

Thats interesting (well at least a little bit). I thought you had to be willfully negligent to get prosecuted. If the bloke had made thousands of joints in his career and only one leaked then that could be normal human error? Maybe there was a bit more to this. If this sort of requirement was applied to surgeons then there would be no surgeons left. .................Dave

I purchased our boat second hand, with an owner fit out. There are a few 3/8 compression fittings in the gas pipe. How do I find out if the nuts were done up up by a competent person ? 🙂 The BSS man has never looked inside them, the olives might be gobs of blutack. and when our BSS ran out due to lockdown I phoned my insurer who said the BSS is not a requirement of the insurance policy. ..............Dave

I know which lock it is because I reported it three weeks ago so maybe its been fixed and broken again 🙂 I suspect its just a fingers mistake when entering data onto a computer, but I would have hoped that a switched on canal-aware person might have spotted it before it went out. There are just so many typos and obvious factual errors on CRT signage, a bit of proof reading could make them look a whole lot less incompetent. .................Dave

Another broken Lock on the Rochdale, and the lock is "Top Paddle Lock" https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/17892-lock-11-top-paddle-lock It might just have been somebody in a rush, but more likely another example of a CRT employee having zero understanding of canals. ....................Dave
