  1. I have seen a few where they have been put through a planner and look good.
  2. I think you are referring to a R&D isolating coupling, which a really for isolating stray current. Having said that there is a few" thou' of tolerance in it.
  3. I bet them roots didn't do the surrounding area much good.
  4. Flowing into Grand Union South is Tring, Berkhamsted and Maple Lodge at Ricky, just three as I know of. Don't know what comes down the Colne.
  5. I know the girl who own's Ocean, she moors on Southern GU. If you want to part with plate, I will ask her next week when I see her.
  6. That just about sums up holding tanks.
  7. Nothing wrong with boat index number or name, the boat has a current boat safety certificate.
  8. I thought I would be a good boater and fill it in but a few questions in I gave up, read all the rest of questions and came to the conclusion that if they had to ask the questions they shouldn't be in charge. Bring back the Docks and Inland Waterways Executive.
  9. Has it got chequer plate where the front T stud is?
  10. Bit difficult to tell from that picture, have you got one from the bow?, according to Boat Safety it's a Colecraft.
  11. Where about are you moored, whats the name, index number? I used to work for them from when they started till 1979.
  12. I have signed, been a BSS examiner and boater for over 65 years I have experience of not having one.
  13. I'd give a million pounds to have stood alongside that toll keeper for a week.
  14. Bit late on this one but I think they forgot to remove the Bar Code!
  15. Armitage Tunnel it was, Armitage Tunnel it will always be, The Plum Pudding is a pub.
  16. Nothing wrong with a bit of bow hauling, you want to try it with 28tons in the boat, better than going to the gym.
  17. Very many congratulations, your last few days was along the canals of my childhood, i'm glad you enjoyed them as I have all my life.
  18. The only use I can see is they would be handy to tie your boat up to when having a lunch stop.
  19. Probably float Derek, saw Yarmouth aground in the "Riser" pound yesterday, back end about 5" out the water.
  20. Are you sure you don't mean Ledgend narrowboats, or as we used to call them "Leg end" as they were as straight as a leg. Built down the Southern Grand Union and most had Dutch Barge style windows.
  21. Phone Nic at TWMarine Furness Vale 01663745757
