  6. Yo' da' man! It should be called the "back to the future" cruise! Derek

  8. Well done, mate! I know that bit of canal (from the land only, my ex's brother and his family live in Marsden. Plenty of locks to keep you amused!. BTW I think the locals call it slewitt, or something aproximating that! Derek

  10. We used to dream of living in a paper bag! It were a wet fag packet 17 of us used to live in. We had to get up half an hour before we went to bed, crawl thirty miles over broken glass to get to work, do a 29 hour day and pay the gaffer a pound just for the priveledge. And if you told the young folks today, they'd never believe you.... Derek
  11. Didn't think they were, John! But seriously though I'm surprised that you thought the pubs were not busier with food that when you visited last. Perhaps the period of time between your visits was longer than mine. I hadn't been up for about eight years. This visit I couldn't get a seat even in the garden in the Black Lion At Consal. Last time it was virtually deserted. The only pubs I thought were unchanged were the Sportsman at Stockton Brook and the Black 'un at Cheddleton, up the hill. Derek

  13. This is probably the one I was thinking about. If they made it a condition of a refund of a "CC" licence, I would think that a lot more CCers would try harder! Derek

    I visited Stafford boat club a few years back and they had what looked like an excerpt of a dictionary framed on the wall. It said: Boat (bowt) n. A steel hole in the water into which one throws money. Derek
  15. For my two penn'orth I liked the idea that was put forward some time ago. Charge all CCers a fee for one years cruising, which would be refunded if they proved that they have indeed been cruising. The genuine folks would then use this charge for their next years cruising, while the ones who are primarily avoiding mooring fees would have to pay again. I admit it would take a lot of administration, but the idea seems fair to all. Derek
