I think I read somewhere that the signal strength is reduced outside of business hours
Also the signal strength is not the key - if many users are connected to the same cell, the signal strength may be strong but the download speed can be poor
Why don't you go to the local pub that has WiFi, download the programme you want to see on BBC iPlayer and then go back to the boat and watch in comfort at broadcast quality with no signal issues ?

Think you have the right on at number 1

Think the water in the stove is boiling so the auto cut out works and shuts down the stove
During the cold weather, the temperature gradient between the air and the stove/radiators is greater so more of the heat is taken out of the water so it wil not tend to boil. With a higher outside temperature, less is transferred so the water (if not circulated through the back boiler of the stove)becomes hotter and will boil and then shut down
Cure ?? - ensure the water is circulating with a pump and keep the stove working at a minimum setting

There is a cast metal plate under one of the bridges on The Stratford Canal near to Hockley Heath as a dividing line between the Trent and the River Severn

I use it as a way over saving money over the next 6 months until they have another one
It makes a worthwhile difference on a tin of blacking at circa £30 !

I used to have one of these engines in my boat
Very good but a lot a vibration against the Gardner I now have installed
I used to have a 22 x 22 prop and she would not rev above 900 rpm - my conclusion was that the engine was overpropped

Good choice of where to go and should not find it that busy once you get off the Tring summit
Pubs a plenty (link to guide below and any feedback so the guiide keeps up to adte welcome) and remember at Berkhamsted there is a Waitrose right next to the cut for general goodies and treats !

Don't think you will ever see them advertised as the 'grapevine' works very well in this area
When a new marina opens, there is often a press release saying x berths of which x are for residential boats
You could always become a liveaboard and many narinas allow this status
-
You could always scan the original licence and stick this to the outside of the boat ?

Lets think about what a computer will see if credit checks are being made
If it can see an address that it recognises, then it will most probably pass
If it gets a reject because a c/o is in the address, then a fail or manual intervention may happen
Remember. that items are delivered to an address not a name
-
As one of the leading mail forwarders and from a long career in the mail industry, there is little implication for the owner of an address to having other peoples mail being sent to their address.
Many individuals do not have a permanent street address and use either friends/family/a service provider to receive their mail and, more importantly, allow items such as car insurance, credit cards and government documentation to use the address and be delivered there.
The usual deciding factor to whether you are actually living there is inclusion on the electoral role. You may find that certain credit checks associate the address you are giving against this

I've though about underfloor heating in a boat with either water heated by the stove and pumped or by electric heating for use when tied up in the winter at a marina
Anyone had any experience of this and advantages over skirting board heating ?

The Dunton are very light and will open nearly everything around the system (so no need to carry more than one windlass)
The Dunton Double plus has a longer throw so making it easire to move heavy paddles or could be described as a 'ladys' windlass

Went over the Oxford at Banbury earlier today and the GU at the bottom of Hatton and both were frozen !!!
No breaking of ice evident at either location

Having lived 'on the bank', life is easy when it comes to identifying yourself as you will have a UK street address and bills to prove that you exist in society
If you become a liveaboard on non residential moorings, this all goes so you will need to arrange to either have a relative/friend to take in your post and you pick it up or they send it to a Post Office c/o Poste Restante
There are 3 companies that provide this service on the waterways (boatmail.co.uk, ship to shore and waterways mail) and some will provise a street address and have varying charging structures
If you have any more questions about mail, I have many years experience in the mail industry and will be happy to answer any query that you (or the readers) have

Try looking in the local farm shop as they sometimes have paint at reasonable prices
I'm sure there are some advertisers of cheap paint in Waterways World

Make a large batch of stew (steak and veg) and cook slowly on the top of the fire/range. If it is too hot, each a trivet to get the temp lower

Hockley Heath is usually difficult to get a signal as the canal is in a cutting through the village
Top of Lapworth should be OK as the transmitters are on top of the water tower on the hill
None of the pubs in the HH area have Wifi
Has anyone experience of using Tmobile 3G internet around the top of Lapworth?
I'm looking quite hard at a replacement job that would involve working from home down the dongle, hence an idea how good the signal is would be handy as now Bp's got a motor we hope to extend our cruising range up that way once (if?) the ice melts.
I don't trust the signal finder as it's a bit optimistic as to what can be reached, especially when the receiver is encased in a big steel faraday cage boat.
The job, for anyone who's interested, is a freelance "anti-Gibbo" working for the Child Poverty Action Group providing benefit advice to first tier advice agencies such as CABx and the like
I'll miss some face to face work, but losing examples such as the lying scrotes I occasionally meet will be no hardship Ta

I had my Jan edition on Monday
Suspect if you live in a 'snowy' area, they may have been delayed

The pub on the cut (The Wharf) normally has a selection of real ales but can be described as 'Gastro' rather than Weatherspoons
There are two others in the village (The Bakers Arms and The Five Bells) but last time I looked only the The Five Bells does food
-
I would measure the temperature of your stove and then buy the appropriate fan with the relevant temp range
My Bubble diesel fired stove ticks along nicely at 60 so I use the gas Ecofan to circulate the air
