  1. does anyone know how to repair the above toilet it is a compresser type and american our boat builder has never come across one
  2. We will be shortly moving our boat from Worcester to Devizes via the Crick Show and Milton Keynes up the Thames to the Kennet and Avon Canal. Can anyone give advice on locations of launderettes and BW showers suitable for a whhelchair user.
  3. I have to disagree with the topic being a woman I put a bid in which was sucessful I do disagree with the tendering for a mooring based on price but if we want to have canals then someone is going to have to pay to maintain them, otherwise all the people in the past who fought to re-open them will have wasted their time and effort. I travel on a very special boat which is adapted for a wheelchair user and I can tell you he faces discrimination every day, we bought tickets for him to watch a show in a theatre where he paid the highest price for a space for his chair where was it at the back of the theatre it was the Blues Brothers band and of course everyone in front got up to dance around leaving John watching their backs, when I asked could I move him into the aisle I was told no because of health and safety. I would like BW to have more disabled access points for us more disabled showers and moorings but working with their coordinator we found one that is suitable for wheel chair access. They can only try their best to please us and of course some of the time they will get it wrong but if everyone stopped moaning at them and we all work together then like the people who fought so hard in the past and are still fighting to re-open canals we will all get waht we want
  4. RCD was the other week a lot of nice people on here sent me stuff builder did not like it but its a legal requirement, the boat was owned by a Charity hence the solicitor but i am not paying for her so do not care been on phone and e-mails all day so present owner will have a bill that is huge.
  5. thought you meant on here lol
  6. I have just gone to local shop bought 5 bottles of cider and a bar of chocolate got crisps and about to go into melt down the funds have cleared but stupid current owner has not contacted her solicitor before weekend aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag
  7. I am a hard mother I do not believe that kids need you to be their friend as my 24 year old says they got 3 chances to do something before mum used to split her knickers and turn green. Now you know my approx age reference to the HULK. When my turned 16 they had aprt tme jobs hated me until first pay packet. I knew where they were at all times and I had 4 kids, you make friends with their friend mothers therefore no lies or misunderstandings. proud to say that 3 girls all graduated from uni and the boy is second year apprentice electrician. Everyone is keen to blame schools boredom its society. if you have kids accept that they your responsibility. Last year near Stourport we met a viking alfoat boat they nearly took our window out coming out of Kinver locks the engine was billowing blue smoke from being over reved later on that night they set us adrift even though they knew I had a severly handicapped adult in a wheel chair and a baby of a year old onboard these people comprised of adults and teenagers. thank god for our golden retriever who only barks if there is something to bark about. And swift thinking on everyones behalf did we stop an accident happening. I phoned the police and viking afloat and they were dealt with they can never hire a boat anywhere in the country again.

  8. We have been trying to finalise the purchase of our boat for two weeks and now the owner has a Solicitor involved we have done the contract sent the cheque made payable to the owner but they should of been made payable to the solicitor for them to clear. I am slowly drowning my comfort eating and drinking at at a amber level at the moment. The river is now in flood so that is going to delay matters more AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Please someone say nice things to remind me of the calming nature of being on a narrowboat
  9. I am trying to finalise the purchase of a boat and I am waiting a contract of sale/purchase to come from their solicitor, can anyone give any advice on this subject? Also when you purchase a boat second hand what documents would you expect to come with it? thanks Suz
  10. I am filling in a gold licence application form what is a blue certificate and do I have to fill in an application form for a private boat licence. Its been a hard day today trying to sort out a BSS certificate and mooring and licence I will need a drink soon
  11. What is the index number refered to on an application form for a BW mooring, I know everyone will have a preference but who would you recommend to insure a 62 ft narrowboat I have heard that there are some that offer protected no claims bonus. Help please
  12. does anyone have any advice on a type of lifejacket that would be suitable for a young adult with cerebral palsy and is in a wheel chair can use. We are looking at the same type they use on lifeboats as they are not very bulky and have a harness fitted and are self inflating. If anyone has any knowledge of a type or make that would be suitable.
  13. hi there is it the same if the rads do have antifreeze in them
