  3. My understanding is that this is an argument advanced by the baton twirlers. The CRT legal position, namely that a Roving Mooring Permit created no additional category, because it was a permit to keep the boat in a place (in fact several places) is perfectly good. The RMP foundered on an entirely unconnected legal point, namely that it was only available to boaters who had previously been CCers
  4. It was great to meet Nick and Jeff. Arguments on here whilst sometimes passionate mask the fact that with very very few exceptions it isn’t personal! i can also vouch for the fact that Jeff, quite apart from his impressive facial hair has working locks down to a fine art. There is a knack to always knowing where to be next to make it work smoothly, and it is great to see in action. In other news, the gearbox seems to have recovered! milky ATF suggested water contamination, so we pumped out the ATF, half a liter of red diesel and ran the box for 10 minutes both ways, pumped out the diesel and new ATF. Running sweetly for now. Slight ATF leak around the selector arm, but not tempted to try to fix that!
  5. Sounds promising is the PRM 90 a straight swap, easy enough for the mechanically challenged to perform. With no need to start adjusting engine height etc?
  6. Yeah bluddy autocorrect! it it a Hurth!
  7. Daughter is having gearbox “fun” gearbox runs fine in reverse, but in forward the shaft turns but only idly, and there is no clunk as it engages. Once the gearbox ATF is warm it engages OK box is HBW150 do these use the oil pressure for shifting? Going to try an ATF change to see if it improves
  8. The purpose of taxation here is to encourage alternative (less polluting) energy sources. At present, and in the near future, I simply don't see such sources becoming viable We already pay the duty, but this change could lead to an end to canalside supply, and an increase in people fueling from cans, which would have an environmental impact

  13. Of course, if it needs to be replaced, and you break the fuse carrier in the process, the beauty of blade fuses is that in an emergency you can discard the fuse carrier and connect spade connectors direct to the fuse

  22. or it is a canoe. Therein is the contradiction. Because we COULD sleep on our boats, we aren't to cruise (second homes) If our boat couldn't be used to sleep, then it looks like permitted recreation.
  23. The thing is that, in the normal run of things, government doesn't procure PPE. The users of PPE procure it. Now, to take stuff like gowns; Gowns have (believe it or not), a very short shelf life. I believe it is 6 months, That makes keeping a stockpile somewhat tricky, Let's say that you keep a stock of gowns that is enough for 4 months normal use, and that you employ stock rotation. That means that you are continually trying to sell gowns that are short shelf-life, and nobody wants to pay full price, so you continually lose money on the stockpile. Worse than that, the 4 month stockpile, which is about as much as you can keep without just throwing stuff away is for normal use. If you suddenly need 4 times as many gowns, your stockpile exhausts in a month. When something bad happens there is never a shortage of people who have 20/20 hindsight on what should have been bought,
