The divide between Rich and poor is shocking in this country. And it’s all about who you no not what skills you have .How else would Boris the clown be running the country , lol .

Nothing easy on thames ,lol .You no lock keeper you can stay forever in he’s patch .You upset him your on your way quick.THAMES water never worry who’s moored on there bits either .But you go to say Windsor and there are there before you get pins in wanting there money.Marlow is 14 quid a night most expensive on thames mind you a lot of famous and rich live there or infamous ,lol .As far as l am concerned my boat, my pit bull and me just potter about the Thames ,leave us alone we leave you alone ,l was going to Kennet and Avon for diesel but crt want 20 quid for plate ,woman try to tell me l never had gold licence in 2015 even though l sitting with it in my hand and my number is real .l got number of EA N2255 which is from north of England . I got SSR number of PLA and One of crt .Its confusing having 3 numbers on boat ,crazy system but it helps when you say not me , lol .🏴‍☠️

The EA guarantee navigation from April to September and guarantee certain rights ,ie anchor anyway in river moor at locks etc ,after 30 September no guarantee. My mooring is in tidel just after Richmond half lock, l need no licence ,l only buy one to go to non tidel.l can go out when l want in tidel , l don’t need vhf because l under 30 feet and half powerful engine ,never had a problem with PLA ,Infact rarely see them this far up river once in blue moon they visit teddington.If you can’t go anywhere how come they say you must move every 14 days ,if a lock don’t work on thames courts have said they can’t make you move or fine you till lock works again,mind you that don’t stop district enforcement trying .Last year l sent my licence to lock keeper so when the EA give my address to district enforcement for mooring fees they go lock keepers house not mine ,this year they not send me licence but l paid on debit so don’t really care if l anit showing it l no l got it .

Don’t want money spike just diesel at fair price .Anit blaming EA for diesel blaming them for no facilities which they have on there site being closed , ie showers ,pump outs etc,not all but most .Yet they still take full licence money .l pay for something l want it ,not half of it .Surely you don’t pay for things you don’t get with crt .

Andy got none at moment but thanks ,he waiting for delivery next week. Don’t want money spike just diesel at fair price .

With a boat like that you can afford it ,some of us anit as lucky as you .

That list is well out of date.Red diesel is 58 pence a litre , better boating at Reading is 88 pence at moment .Most of them on your list are white diesel or not there any more .2800 litres ,crown diesel deliver to your boat and that amount is 84 pence a litre for 2000 litre .l phoned them yesterday but l only have a 150 litre tank .The other diesel suppliers do minimum 500 litres but l can’t carry that much legally.No probs l am going to try a local farmer ,farmers weekly Puts average price each week and this week it’s 58 pence a litre for 5000 delivered .The only supplier up this end of river left on your list is oxford cruisers and they are 100 pence a litre but they have run out and he’s supplier can’t do delivery cause farmers come first and they short of drivers at moment maybe next week he told .

It means once you pass Abingdon on thames you can’t get diesel .Oxford cruises got none and farms are taking first delivers and Abingdon bridge marina anit doing any cuts ,you want it you pay he’s price or go away ,it’s not salters anymore it’s AV hire boats.l no l stuck here at eynsham lock with no diesel after trying all boat hire company’s and marinas ,if you no of anywhere up this end let me no , it got to be on river thames l 69 but anit got transport apart from boat with thames licence .

Last year l came across a boat in what l thought was harefield woods ,just up from marina ,there is a old digger there aswell.

I am on thames all year round don’t come here the EA are rubbish ,everything is locked of ,no eslan ,pump outs not working or turned off and they wonder why rubbish ends up in river .l pay for my licence but this year no facilities at all .No diesel above Abingdon and now there is no cut it’s 135 a litre .They employ district enforcement for there moorings ,some cowboy bully boy car park firm, that even the courts slag off ,you moor these cowboys take stuff of your boat in loo of payment if you don’t pay quick enough . Mooring or no mooring your better of on canals .EA run the Thames for the rich marinas and the rich boaters not for narrowboats who anit welcome .

There is loads but most want to know who there are dealing with ,so it’s best to call in and ask .Make sure boat is tidy and that ,otherwise it be join the list that never moves.
