  1. Boat builders with problems have been known to show the same boat to several buyers as their boat. So seeing a boat doesn't mean it's yours. Sue

  3. I think the SOW website died with Mike Stevens. The meeting is 1st Dec 11am at the Blackhorse pub Main street Foxton. If you email Will on (abreviated narrowboat)quidditch@dsldotpipexdotcom he will send aggenda and map. hope you can work out email address Sue
  4. See you at the SOW meeting on saturday. Sue

    I do. That's how I know Warwickshire won't do it. We did get a free smoke alarm from someone. Sue

    Only if you are resident in the area, not if you are just passing through.
  7. BW isn't responsible for people choosing to live on boats. If you want to continuously cruise, go for it. If you don't you can only blame yourself for the position you are in. BW don't have to provide moorings. Sue
  8. The number of times I have heard that. I don't support a user group because they don't suit me! Nabo was formed as an action group. If it isn't now, join and make it how you want it. It is very easy to become chairman as no one wants the job. People would rather talk about action rather than doing any. Sue
  9. I thought I had kept my identity fairly secret then 'two' members came up and introduced themselves! Sue

    Some cope well, some badly. We have known elderly people on sinking boats because their investments haven't kept up with inflation. Boat maintenance is expensive. Keep the house, let it out, get lodgers. Sue
  11. Well that is now 287 votes and I don't want a mooring. When do you think BW will start to get worried? Sue
  12. You don't stand a snowball in hells chance until boaters attitudes change. How many boaters support a user group? Until boaters learn to stick together BW/ government will walk all over us. Sue
  13. The Boaters Phone company are the experts and will sort you out with a compatible system. Sue
  14. Soon fixed with gaffer tape! Sue
  15. The best steerers on our boat have been daughter when she was 11/12 ish and truck drivers. The latter pick it up straight away and don't touch the sides when entering a single lock. If girls pick up steering easily why do men steer boats leaving the women to do the hard work? Sue
  16. we have a plastic tank. No cleaning ;no painting; no strange tastes. Sue
  17. If it's for a hobby- go for it. If it is for a home think twice. There is no security of tenure and hardly any residential moorings. Ok if you move around the country but not if you want to stay in one area. A house makes a much better investment. Sue
  18. Going along the Thames this summer someone had an accident caused by the gunge on the lock ladders. Four lock keepers were discussing how to clean them, the fith had got a preasure washer and was doing the job! Sue
  19. First time I've heard him called that.! Sue

  21. Our boat is simple too. The same number of batteries but 1500 watt invertor. We only use the invertor for hoovering. 12v is all we need most of the time. Sue
  22. Don't forget silent generators are anything but silent. They also produce carbon monoxide and just to put you off further, they get stolen when on the towpath even if they are running. Try an inverter. Sue
  23. How come? BW recon they own at least 3ft of the canal edge, so surely it is up to them to maintain that edge. I have heard of farmers having their land reinstated where it has eroded. Sue
  24. But EA will give this information if you have a reason for wanting it. Sue
