Dave and Chris moor at Henhull on the Shropshire Union and we became friends when we also moored at this site. Even though we have moved to Anderton ,we have kept in touch and my wife and I are proud to have known Dave. Some of you may not know that Dave & Chris were editors of the Shropshire Union Canal Society magazine "Cuttings" for many years and transformed the mag. until Dave was forced by ill health to hand over to Rod & Carol Hamilton-King; who have carried on in an excellent similar style. DOR will be sadly missed.

Missed it,was it worth watching?!

Various quotes from people who moor nearby about the state of the boat and rowdy behaviour. Not licensed for 4 years etc: Large generator running at all hours and rubbish on towpath.

Narrowboat world gives a different slant on all this!!

Mine in our wood burner at home are ceramic, all others seem to crack after a very short time. They were expensive though, but it is an 8KW fire!!

I prefer the robbie Cummings series; at least he tried to tell it how it is!

Terry from Harworth heating has given the boater details of a mobile engineer who will be able to sort the problem. Thanks for all the helpful information!

He contacted OFTEC but they were not helpful. !!

Yes he has but Terry Hibbert was not available and nobody else could help.

Ok thanks, will advise him to do that.

Hello fellow boaters. A friend of mine is having difficulty with his Bubble diesel stove and cannot find a specialist in the North West to come and service it. Have any forum members got any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I took great delight in mooring on the forbidden bit at Nantwich recently; the trees have now grown such that one can bairly see the houses! Unfortunately nobody from CRT challenged me!

I am sorry to say that I have not heard much of boating interest in this post. Surely we can have a decent conversation without descending into the childish sniping which occurs daily in the House of Commons!! Finally, Isobel started this but at no time has she detailed the circumstances of the altercation! I for one would like to know where she was,what kind of mooring was it and was she within her rights to be there!? On a lighter note I also met and chatted to the chap on Lord Byron's maggot a few weeks ago on the Middlewich branch of the Shroppie. Nowt wrong w
