I think 'Ben' is advertised in the latest HNBOC magazine, can't remember price though Regards Dan

I am absolutely DISGUSTED by what i am reading, i really hope you are writing this to get a rise out of people, because if that is the case, then you can't be serious in what you are putting in print. Whilst i agree about protecting if the need arises, there are other ways, NOT INVOLVING FIREARMS, which have been posted in this thread, but have fallen on what are obviously deaf ears.I like to write on this forum, as it gives me a chance to chat about topics, which i enjoy chatting about, and very rarely, in my opinion write out of turn, however on this occasion, i am compelled to say that, i feel that your type of writing is obviously not welcomed, as it appears you offending people by what you are writing. That is not what boating is about, protection yes, warning shots, and shooting people in the chest, NO. Please go away, i'm sure there are forums in the pulic domain, where you can go and pretend to be Yosemite Sam, and go and jump around firing your guns in the air, in a virtual world of course.

Go on, splash out, treat yourself to a wooden one, you know secretly deep down you want to!! Regards Dan

there are indeed different types, we had one for our allotment, but the spring on the clamp was cr*p, so we never got a good enough flow of gas. we found adding a bit of cardboard between the canister and the clamp did the job. once the shed had been broken into and the stove stolen, we bought another one from i think B&Q, and that has been absolutely fine. they were both the same price from what i recall. the only down side to these from what i can tell is that they tend to get sluggish when there's only 1/3 or less in the can, so it seems you waste alot of gas Regards Dan

i would also second not mooring between festival park and etruria top, but ISTR it being ok at Etruria on the Caldon, before the staircase but that was a few years ago! Meaford Top is a nice tie up, apart form the railway! Regards Dan

Hi there, We are looking to get a nabru sofa for our house, we visited their showroom and meticulously looked at every possible scenario of sofa they build, and, being a carpenter, gave them a pounding!!!! i have to say i was very impressed, the structure, for MDF is strong, and the cushions comfy. there is an option for hard and soft seating options, i would go for hard, as the cushions are 8" thick, and IMO, don't need soft webbing underneath them, as over time, they should soften anyway, but when ordering there is the option of them supplying both as the seat base fits in the seat. The only negative i could foresee is the sofa bed matress, it is very thin, we plan to overcome this by purchasing a matress topper from ikea, which is thicker and approx. the same size, and should fold away with it. They will build to any spec, within their guidelines and the biggest thing delivered is the bed mechanism. They give the various options when ordering, for example scothguard and storage boxes, but to be honest, i personally think it isn't worth it, as the scotch guard, as i am led to believe is just out of a can anyway, and can be purchased cheaper elsewhere and being the structure is MDF panels, its almost like compartments are already there so storage boxes take up more, valuable space. we plan to have spare bedding under ours in vacuum storage bags. If your in the area, the Nabru showroom is about 1/4 mile from the GU just south of Uxbridge on the big industrial estate on the offside. The only other thing to say is there was a stand at crick which was specialising in Narrow boat sofa beds. Their website wasn't up and running at the time of the show but i'll have a look for the leaflet and try and post more information on it! Hope this helps Regards Dan

Aah, thought there might be some pun intended, but after a long day at work, my brain was fried and i couldn't work it out! Regards Dan
