In that case I'd suggest pubs are usually your best bet for avoiding cooking. Pubs here often do breakfast as well as evening food. I'm not sure I've noticed too many pubs on your route but I may have been cruising with my eyes shut. Maybe someone can post a list...

It rained here in Wiltshire last Saturday morning, at about 7am for 30 seconds. I was caught in it! Not enough to wet the ground though....

Their website is here: https://www.fva.org.uk/ They are interested in steel narrowboats specifically. Between 40ft and 58ft IIRC. I'm faintly surprised they reject Springers. Perfectly good boats in my opinion.

Another reason to keep the paint tins, even the empty and/or dried up ones, is they form a record of what the boat has been painted with. There is all manner of info on the tins you might need in five or ten years. And you'll definitely need two weeks after throwing them away.

Lets not recycle your tired and invalid views about how pedestrians are supposed to know you are speeding up from behind them. Especially the old, infirm and deaf ones. (See what I did there?)

Please NOOOO!!!!! Lots of posters here appreciate (I suspect) the staid and unchanging design of the forum in general and the user interface in particular. Remember the furore when "Streams" were introduced a few years ago, with no advanced warning or instructions on how to use them? One of the nicest-to-use forums I know of has use has had the exact same, unchanging format for approaching 20 years now. Periodic and entirely unnecessary fiddling with the appearance and changes in the way a forum works are just an irritation in my experience. I think others here might agree with me on this.

Might it have been from that thread the other day where WW exhibited a callous disregard in his attitude to pedestrians when riding his bike on the tow path?

Oh my God, don't you start too! I ran into all manner of shyte for pointing out in a similar way that someone used a similar but wrong word! (Over in the Llangollen thread.) Arthur will, I expect, make a joke about it instead. Probably at your (or my) expense!

It wasn't a spelling mistake. They used the wrong word and denied it was wrong, even when supplied with evidence. Hence, not interested in learning. Which is fair enough. None of us comes here to learn anything, do we?

But it will still do its job whichever side the switch is, Shirley?

Spelling meter explodes!! Oh dammit, I see Arthur beat me to it... (Mind you Arthur I think it's spelled "naïve", to be accurate!)

Can't imagine there re many of those on the system! Oh, they might be doing the type of CC where you only cruise for only one day in 14....

It's still just a switch, so it will work in either the negative or the positive wire.

That's an easy one to answer. Some people refuse to learn, as evidenced by the responses of the person whose post I first commented upon which started all this.
