What a strange, angry, little old man.

What's the story behind this boat, I've seen it mentioned with fear a few times?

I like the Q&A at the bottom... "Q: Hi Harley- - - - Looking at the photographs - there would appear to be loads of holes in the base - - doesn't it mean that the bucket won't hold water? I look forward to hearing from you"

University, Selly Oak, Bournville, most cross city stations in Birmingham...

Rose? Oh please, where's the proper red?

Mind = Fried! Only being 21 I don't think I'm cut out for it just yet, but it's something I'm considering for the future, maybe! Lot of work involved though...

I didn't realize there were so many of these! The Eagle Barge Inn seems to have mixed reviews but still looks worth a visit!

Hmm... a lot to think about there, thanks for the responses! Though to be honest, it's made me want to visit most of them!

Hmm, thanks, something to look into... An ex-colleague of mine started his own business recently so it's got me thinking...

Evening folks, While sitting in a small 17th century inn a few weeks back, I had a thought, has anyone had the idea of running a pub on a Narrowboat? The reason I ask is that the business sense behind it seems quite logical to me, everyday we see pubs going out of business due to lack of trade, but what can't they do? Move! A floating pub would be able to move to the customers! Just a thought that's currently running through my mind... Adam

So, £70 per person for half a day? I know of several others that do full day hire for around £100!

I was only being courteous to the photographer that had taken the original photo... Have you ran out of other threads to troll today?

Because it's another photographers work, not my own, but if you're willing to directly link the image, then go for it

I'm not willing to directly link the image, but I've found a photo from yesterday of the two boats on a photography forum... http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=450491

This little thing always makes me smile whenever I see a photo of it...

Just out of interest, is it possible to get to the inside of the water ballast tank to black it etc? If not, isn't it more suseptable to rust and corrosion?

Cor blimey, they looked smart.

So, would I be right in saying a boat has to refil that pound every time they want to use the lock?

Interesting. Thanks for the info. It looks well built, any idea what sort of age it'd be? Adam.

You're spot on there! According to a local, it's been out to sea! Dont recall a broads cruiser, I saw an old Dawncraft (probably) and some Yachts...

Found this earlier today, on a tidal estuary... Thought it may be of interest to some here :-)

Is this open to non-boaters?

I was about to say, it doesn't look as bad as people were suggesting on here...
