  2. I have been and looked again at your post to which I responded, and as far as I can see you have made your remarks about people with a home mooring, but have not added anything to those remarks about having one, but never using it. So if I have a home mooring that I do regularly use, but (hypothetically!) still sometimes choose to exhibit the behaviour that you have postulated above, would I then be a "piss taker" or not, in your view of the world?
  3. Can you explain why, when the relevant acts of parliament, make no specification about "bona fide for navigation", except for those specifically without a home mooring, someone with a home mooring, who chooses to do what you suggest is "taking the piss". It would not be my choice, and obviously isn't yours, but it is entirely allowed by the legislation, so what right do CRT now have to prescribe otherwise, unless a new act of parliament overrides the current ones? I consider it unsatisfactory if CRT decide they can prescribe stuff willy nilly, with no legal basis for doing so.
  4. Well we do know a canal based Adam - the one who writes boat reviews for Canal Boat magazine..... I know you are not him!
  5. Engine = Skandia Lorries (I think!) usually always = Scania The "d" makes all the difference, I think. Ah, genuinely didn't realise it was you!
  6. Only dear old CRT could come up with a document entitled "CC Monitoring Process" then include a section that says "applicable to all licensed boats". It seems Sally Ash is still with them in spirit, if not in actual person.

  9. So has Allan Richards got hold of something not yet actually issued by CRT, but just under discussion, (No I'm not going to grace NBW to find out!). I'd be more concerned if it were on a CRT web-site than on Allan's own space.
  10. Another mess not properly thought through. They are not getting any better, are they?
  11. I haven't seen them since the unexpected swap of motor, but hope Paddy and Ruth don't mind me sounding a bit surprised. I always though Comfortably Numb one of the nicest boats I have seen. It has a gorgeous fit out that lacks any of the "over the topness" of some of the newer boats these days - a cracking well looked after boat, I would say.
  12. OK. For those who couldn't see our pictures, please try this Photobucket Slide Show as an alternate route to the same images.
  13. I know that I have had non Facebook users able to see albums like this in the past. Is there anybody here not on Facebook that has managed to see this album, please?
  14. Is there any option to ignore that, and view as a guest. Trouble is I can't test it, as I am a Facebook user.
  15. Strange news. They are posted in a public group, and it has worked in the past. I can't immediately see any settings I can tweak, and I have no other obvious way of quickly getting 40 or so photos visible in an album. Does anybody know what, if anything, I can change. It seems people are not even seeing the same failure reason!
  16. That would be great. I'm really looking forward to those that people have, but not yet published. Our best Braunston in many years, but exhausted now, and still with two boats to get home!
  17. OK, have managed to at least get a selection of our photos into a Facebook album. It should be possible, I think, for non Facebook users to see these, without actually needing to create a Facebook account. (Please advise if you find otherwise!) Linky to album
  18. We have had a great time, but been busy enough to take few pictures of our own. So who has any, please, or can anybody point at other places where some are available.
  19. We could probably manage that. Currently at Gongoozler's Rest, but should have capability on the boat.

  21. Both "Flamingo" and "Sickle" are now here. (Achieving that has required a bit of creative thinking, but we have!) "Flamingo" is currently outside of "Chertsey" and "Stanton". "Sickle" is outside of the steam tunnel tug replica "Hasty", Each are fairly close to, but opposite sides of Butcher's bridge.
  22. ^^^^^^ THIS. Don't even think of it - a "three way" absorption type fridge probably uses at least 4 times as much power as a modern 12 volt compressor fridge. Only for those connected to a land-line really.

  24. I was amused that David Daines told me the other night he deliberately picks that spot just beyond the Ladder Bridge, as the best entertainment comes from the foul ups that people manage to make doing the 180 back on to the main canal!
