You could always join the National association of boat owners, NABO. They have a rep for disabled people/ information Sue

I hope the person who raised the question doesn't take your advice. He is on a wide beam! Sue

I don't agree with this either. Our first boat was second hand. We could sell it for what we paid for it if we didn't like boating. The only thing we altered was changing a large double bed in the front cabin to a bed settee. It gave us the chance to see if we really liked living with the chosen layout. The only downside was it was the second boat we looked at and so I was deprived of the opportunity of spending weekends boat hunting. Sue

It's good to hear the other side to canal boating. A boat builder said to us the other day 'I really admire you'. 'Why?' I replied. He lasted 6 weeks on a boat, we have done 20yrs. Boating isn't for everyone and we have retired and can move when we want. It is a nightmare if you want to stay in one area. Sue

BW Visitor Licences (How hard it is to buy one)
sueb replied to nbfiresprite's topic in General Boating
If you go to the BW site and type in complaints procedure it tells you how to make a complaint. Sue -
Wouldn't it be easier just to burn the rubbish. I'm thinking of doing this as it is so unsightly having all the bins. Sue

Get yourself a 12v pumpout kit from Lee Sanitation and save a fortune. You can pump out when convenient rather than when full. Sue

We use Biomagic in our dump through and have no smells. I can't say the same about other additives we have used. Anyone remember potty toddy tabs? We use a 12v pumped system for emptying the tank. It has saved us a fortune and we get the tank clean. Sue

unlimited eve and weekends £5 per month with Orange. I am happy Sue
-
In which case why get a winter mooring? You can just move every fortnight and not pay at all. Sue
-
I thought that until our loo refused to open!! We still have a dump through and I wouldn't want anything else. Hubby kept going on about wanting a porta potti until we had one and then he couldn't wait to get the toilet repaired. Who wants to empty a loo everyother day? Sue

You didn't mention the country park. Well worth a visit for discounted things, food etc Sue

I have a couple of flat irons. One heating whilst using the other. Having said that I haven't ironed for years. I don't buy anything that needs ironing and careful folding works wonders. Sue

£re you on mains and how often do you run your engine? we go away for at least a week at a time and our batteries would't hold out that time. it is probabaly horses for courses. Sue

Inspectors are NOT infallible. Always check with the BSS office before altering things. Rob is the font of all knowledge. Sue

Try a shorter tiller? Sue
-
Apparently BW have to issue a licence but they can refuse the next one if you don't comply with the conditions of the first. I didn't make the rules. Sue

I have never seen the logic in putting biodegradable dog's poo in plastic bags! Who wants to preserve it? Sue

Have Anglo Welsh got financial troubles that they need your money more than bad publicity? Sue
