  1. Prehaps a frieght rivival section i would like to write for your site but my spelling is rubbiish
  2. I had the pleasure of meeting a lovely couple at the weekend who had just bought a 60ft trad and were bringing it down to their winter moorings at brentford. They had a few problems and wanted a invertor fitted which i did for them. They were also having engine problems so i phoned them later in the day only to be told that there dog had jumped of the boat and drowned. I thought this was really sad as their dog was playing with mine and i know if it happend to us we would be devistated.
  3. all i know is that i had noticed this boat quite a few times because i pass the bulls bridge maybe three or 4 times a month. She has been in the same location since late summer and looked like she had been abandoned although she seemed in good condition on the outside. I could not understand why she had not got any patrol notices. So prehaps she had broken down ect.
  4. I would just like to say even though im intrested in this boat i feel very sorry for the owner if this happened to me i would be devistated and that the piccys were taken this weekend
  5. Does anyone know who ownes this boat as i would like to make them a offer for salvage. sunken boat sunken boat 2
  6. I have been reading this thread for awhile and funny enough i had to make a night trip from bulls bridge to limehouse over the weekend. It was one of the best 8 hours boating i have had for along time. I was very surprised at how many boats were moving around and even met the st pancras criuseing club boat taking kids through the islington tunnel.
  7. I have had this out with bw and they say you have to be a registerd trader and have a bw buisness licence to conduct any buisness from you boat. although if you trade from lets say a van and dont obstruct the towpath you dont have to have any licence. Ever time i critisize bw i seemed to get jumped on but it does seem rather negative were ther eithos is to encourage canal buisness but seem to put obsticals in the way of doing that
  8. If you can run your engine 8 till 8 what about cruiseing a night
  9. They are all originals taken on my phone would you belive
  10. Ive just added a photo gallery to my website some of you might be intrested Visit My Website
  11. I did the slough arm about a month ago and the navigation is just about still open. I didnt see another boat once i passed the marina at iver and had to clear the prop three times on the whole trip
  12. In my extensive travels around the network i see unlicensed boats all the time. And one thing that stares out at me how many single old people are on these boats. Prehaps a thought these people cannot afford ther license. Not all license evaders are trying to beat the system some are just skint.
  13. you must not brake in were abouts is she in the south
