Like you, I loathe marinas. They are like living in a car park. Initially I was living aboard and compliantly CCing, then I took a pretty countryside CRT on-line mooring. But holding down a busy self-employment (which pays for my boats!) at the same time led to it turning into a chore as I only ever took the boat to the water and elsan point every couple of weeks. Getting away from managing the boat became the pleasure! But each of the boats is still a home-from-home. Galley cupboards stocked with food, clothes etc and various personal possessions on board too, fuel in the tanks, lithiums part-charged, I just go to the boat when it suits me and its ready to go.

Hmmmm it doesn't look like a 61 litre main oven to my eye, being an under-counter model. Cut-n-paste error perhaps, worth double checking before ordering if a big main oven is important. And this link agrees, stating the main oven is 43 litres. Bit cheaper here too! https://www.cookersandovens.co.uk/Belling-BI702LPGPR-Built-Under-70cm-Stainless-Steel-Gas-Double-Oven.html

Another option has turned up! This time a twin oven version https://borshch.co.uk/new-world-nw701g-og-ncsi100492829.html

The problem is, throwing money at it is no substitute for learning how batteries work and how to look after them. Unless he reads and understands the "Battery Primer" on here I predict it will end in tears. You cannot do it for him.

This sort of rubbish happens constantly if you engage with the lovely LadyG on here. I had it repeatedly when she first turned up trying to sell her flat in Scotland to fund a boat purchase. One learns not to bother getting involved, just as Tony mentioned he has.

Seriously, at the moment you can see up to about 2ft deep on the southern Oxford. But you had me a treat with the date, lol!

I first discovered Danboline back in the 70s for bilge painting and in my experience it does a first class job of sticking to pretty much anything, including silicone sealant and oily steel. Despite what it says on the tin nowadays, no prep is required. Awesome stuff! Dunno about bitumen though....

I fear you have an unrealistic idea about how deep the canals are! Also about how clear the water isn't. As an aside, cruising up the southern Oxford to Heyford the other day I was struck by how clear the water was. There's been hardly any traffic for weeks and it was almost like cruising on a river!

And I'll delete this too. Edit to add: Deleted.

Send a link to CRT, I'm sure they'll watch it and "lessons will be learned" !

Quite. It can be a fair bit of effort to erase all identifying names and numbers from a boat so I've always imagined it is done deliberately. And what would be the point if you are planning to continue buying a licence?

Umm.... that exert is for Business Rates. Business Rates are assessed on a different basis from Council Tax.

I asked about this over in The Combustion Chamber (closed forum for gas engineers), and the Technix posted above by Jon57 is the only one anyone has been able to come up with.

Two nights, given this year was a leap year!

Very nice but is it pump-out or cassette???!!

Indeed. Which is why he is asking on here. Duh.

Oops, I think I attended the wrong rally...

Well yes, but there still aren't any! I'd suggest a 240Vac electric grill is gonna cane the domestic battery bank.

Apology graciously accepted. Having had a proper search for what you want I've come up with a big fat blank too. I'm surprised and will think about it some more.... Edit to add: Actually I'm not surprised. There have been a few safety alerts on gas grills recently where users have stupidly closed the grill door whilst grilling stuff and carbon monoxide-poisoned themselves. I would not be in the slightest bit surprised if it turns out TPTB have told manus to stop making them.

And got mine snapped of similarly! If the OP thinks my post explaining the terminology is pure pedantry, then he can crack on by himself.

I thought a post clarifying the terminology might be helpful, but it has clearly gone straight over your head.

Quite so. Also, it is far easier to tax stuff that doesn't easily move so a house is an excellent example. Once you own it, you become a sitting duck for all manner of charges that 'the man' can associate with it. The main ones being Council Tax, water charges and gas and electricity standing charges. And any sort of poll tax runs counter to one of the foundation principles of taxation, which is why there are riots opposing it. The principle is that the citizen must be able to arrange their affairs so as avoid any given tax. With a poll tax levied on you for existing and breathing, there is no way to legitimately avoid it other than by dying.

So it appears you're not looking for a "gas cooker" as your first post says, but a separate "gas oven". The terminology is important when looking for an appliance. The term "cooker" is used in the appliance business to mean a single, all-in-one appliance comprising a hob, oven and grill. The term "oven" denotes an oven or oven/grill as a (usually) built-in appliance with no hob. Also, the term "hotplate" is often used instead of "hob".
