my boat's got a bright orange bow at the minute We can be recognised when traveling by the small lop-earred bunny tetherer to the cabin top in what appears to be a waiscoat...

As is my understanding, Harry Corbet was so bad at handling the boats that someone had to crouch behind him to actually steer.

Keeping naughty children in? Allthough it looks like an older design of gas locker. Maybe mustard gas isn't a bad sugestion

Lets not test that theory

Something tells me my nephew wouldn't be pleased with that, although I've a good mind to do it anyway...

No need to get shirty, it's better than nothing. As was said earlier "Together we can do a bl**dy lot."

Better than nothing He has contacts... And if we can give him enough ammo, who knows?

I'm no good at thread clicks, but I just put up a thread with a link to the MP I mentioned earlier.

I emailed the conservative rep. for Daventry, passing on that people were worried by the goverment cocking up and he says: "I guess I could state the obvious - that this government hasn't a clue and as someone once said: "knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing!" I can also offer you (and British Waterways) my support. Obviously in these tight financial times I do understand some things have to be cut and I think British Waterways has plans that are worth examining. The final thing I think I can offer is just general support and advice. If you know people who have questions or worries, could you pass on my details to them. I might not know the answers, but I could ask someone who will and it will also be useful to have a feel of general opinion." so here is a clicky for his web page which has his email and address. Try to not to get overwrought with him; he is on our side, and doing his best!

Do I get points for having a rememberence poem published in a book? Its about the merchant navy so it have boats in. (This is what happens when I get drunk and on a computer Clicky, apparently it's to late for it to be withdrawn.. )

Is it sad that I watched some of them just to spot boats I know? Canal Clicky

Okay, that Anchor great rewards round-up thing thats on has ment that we have a surfeit of butter (the things you do for cow print cookery sets ) Any recipes? Theres no more room in the fridge....

Everything needs lots of money now Again, as is my slightly vague understanding; Isn't there a tight corner meaning that volounteer work can only be done with BWs blessing or something on those lines? I recall being told by someone that it was made difficult by (This is the bit I can't remember) a something that would be cured by the whole thing being turned into a charity, thereby removing the problem? I could be wrong, I was distracted at the time by a wooden boat going by...
