It was a once in 10 year event and only lasted 48 hours. I think the bywash at Sandon was choked with debris which held the water in the pound. Lots of it though because the pound is almost three miles long.
We've just driven past Aston this morning. The Trent is over its banks and topping up the canal and marina nicely. It did come up by around two feet a few years back. The pontoons were under water. The staff looked after everyone's boats very well. Great team at Aston.
Our shared Ownership boat is still out there. My understanding is the current group of owners aren't prepared to invest in her so she's slowly deteriorating. It must make trying to sell a share quite difficult.
I would say that food is the mainstay of most average pubs. If you have a free hand it is possible to a decent job as a wet led pub. In my limited experience it was very busy rather than desperate for clientele.
They are on their way. There are lots in Manchester parks whereas five years ago, nothing.
I remembber seeing one being mobbed at Audlem by Raptors about ten years ago. Felt sorry for it but no sympathy now
I used it last autumn (2023) and I have a vague recollection that it had just come back in to use. Prior to that Minworth had been closed for several years.
Looking at Beta's graph for the 38. At 1200rpm it's using 0.75 litres an hour. At 2000 rpm it's just under 2 litres per hour. All that heat has got to go somewhere.
We moored at Aston for six years. The staff are efficient and friendly.
My only criticism is that they used to cut the grass every week creating clouds of dust. The boat was always covered with it but a minor issue really.
I have noticed that if you pack of olives they have a cross-section the outside of which is a smooth curve. If you buy compression fittings they come with olives which have ramps on them that are all but uncompressible. It's much easier to get a water tight sale with the old style ones.
I don't see that as being cynical. It's got to be good to know what can and can't be done from the position of all stakeholders.
Doesn't matter whether it's a business, a charity or your local council.
No doubt a bit of transparency will placate some stakeholders and provide ammunition to others but it will also demonstrate to the purse holders what the size of the task is and how well or badly the challenge is being met.
If they are badly off target it may well provide evidential support for the closures mentioned in Allan's post
Some windows are bolted in, some use self tappers.
Ours used self tappers. You may find your replacement screws won't put enough bite to make a watertight seal. Going up a screw size is not ideal, the heads may be too large and the increased diameter may burst through the interior trim.
In our case judicious use of rawlplugs and sealant was the way forward.
How did it manage to get there in the first place? It would seem that it is some kind or precipitate. Has there been some kind of electrolysis going on?
