    One of my teaching pals(Trudie)told me that her mum was involved with the original Tuptonia.She was a guide leader.

    Their holiday has finished & the landlady may have seen their hire company.No need at all to be so defensive on their behalf.I suspect a magazine article may be written by Andrew.
  3. The Bearwood Boster
    Have you asked the landlady of The Bridge at Brewood what she knows ?
  4. The Bearwood Boster
    Good to hear the good comments about Farmers' Bridge-P used to do these on a Monday when he was volleying(after litter picking the canals).As a boater,he always asked what help was needed & did as asked-apart from when some boaters didn't have a clue & he 'assisted' their thinking.Those folk who know the Brum litter pickers on Aquarius,Albert passed to the great marina in the sky recently.He was mid 80s & a smashing bloke.RIP Albert.

    That's just magical.?

    There was an article about this in the Shropshire Star paper today(including a front page intro' to the story).A lady representing Talbot Wharf was clearly not impressed/happy !

    Rob did ours as well( at Overwater marina).Agree that he's a good bloke who knows what he's doing.
  8. The Bearwood Boster
    And another thumbs up for Namaste.
  9. The Bearwood Boster
    And there was me thinking it was boaters being careless...?

    The G & S is lovely,we'll be there again in July or August.You can even pop back to Gloucester by boat to do your shopping at Sainsbury's-mooring right outside.

    What a load of tosh,you're just a really rude,old man who has no right to be rude about my boat.*If you can be rude then so can I.There is a difference between opinion & rudeness.By the way,the difference between bought & brought isn't a spelling mistake-it's a lack of understanding of the difference between them.
  12. The Bearwood Boster
    I bought,not brought a boat.
  13. The Bearwood Boster
    Exactly my thoughts.
  14. The Bearwood Boster
    I thought Thunderboat was the nasty place,obviously not...
  15. The Bearwood Boster
    Then that says an awful lot about you as a person.Really hope we never meet at a lock.
  16. The Bearwood Boster
    And so the rudeness continues.I wonder how many folk would be as rude in person to a Liverpool boat owner.
  17. The Bearwood Boster
    We've had our Liverpool boat from new in 2004 & also visited the factory during the build process.I'm not daft enough to think they're the best boats,but they're blooming good value for money.Our boat has been all over the canals & has done us proud.There seems to be a lot of snobbery about/here and to compare them with Trabants is just plain rude !

    Black Country Museum is beef dripping & they are gorgeous.I went to Dudley teacher training college in the 70s & there was a wooden hut chip shop just up the road towards Gornal where the chips were also cooked in beef dripping.I can taste them now... The chippy was run by a middle aged chap & his mum.Sadly,it burnt down & never reopened.I can still imagine those chips & my favourite roe.

    Exactly what we used a few years ago & it'a fab!

    Hit her head on the ceiling...I must have been doing it wrong.?
  22. The Bearwood Boster
    The Windlasses ?
  23. The Bearwood Boster
    And they are asking silly money(£300 plus) for the new houses there in Ladywood where the fat boat is.NOT a good area.An area where shootings & stabbings are a regular thing.Only yesterday a 17 yr old was stabbed in nearby Bearwood & died when the car he'd been bundled into crashed near to the hospital there.At least one shooting & a few stabbings in recent weeks. *Just had a quick look,some are closer to £400,000 !?

    Slightly different,we had a bow thruster which made me lazy.I used it to push off when going from the bank to a lock.Never could do that on a hire boat,but hey ho.Now got used again to pushing the bow off as the bow thruster sprang a leak,so had it capped off.Don't really miss it apart from when trying to moor in the marina in a howling gale

    My mum & her friend were returning home from the pictures one winter's evening & a flasher decided to give them a 'treat'.Both ladies became hysterical...with laughter & made comments as to how realllly cold it obviously was. Apparently,mum's friend commented-"IT'S cold out so put IT away !" ?
