  1. King's Orchard and Streethay Wharf are both near LTV.
  2. https://shop.tnorrismarine.co.uk/ possibly?
  3. From his website on the free and open internet.
  4. 25% electric discount applies to boats with a permanent, inboard, electric motor.
  5. BW bins should be treated, contractwise, like domestic dustbins. It's virtually certain that every bin ever collected by their contractors contains bio-hazardous waste; simply because there is no alternative facility available. Disposable: incontinence products, sanitary products, birth control items; will all be in there. If Waterways have a contract for only non-hazardous waste in the red bins, then that is where the problem lies.
  6. Latest FW is: RUT9XX_R_00.06.07.5. It's reassuring the the device is still supported after all this time. Obviously Teltonika hasn't caught with modern business practice.
  7. If it's just condensation it'll be gone in the spring, once the canal water heat up a little.
  8. I'd check the internal components of the transformer are securely mounted. That's a loud hum!
  9. Shurgard on the Uxbridge Road in Hayes is right by the canal and ha[sd] a mooring and gate to the offside of the canal.
  10. Search for "ATS switch" at your favourite online retailer. Prices begin at £30ish.
  11. The tagline for Premium Bonds used to be "Win a million pounds or your money back!" . Currently they are paying 1% (on average) tax free. When I knew a lot about Lotto, the payout was 50% prizes, ~25% good causes, ~25% Camelot and the retailers. Figures may have changed.
  12. If you rely on an internet connection to make a living, then you will need at least two working data capable SIMs on different networks (O2, 3, Voda, EE). One can be PAYG. I have a 3 data contract, a Giffgaff PAYG SIM (O2), an 1p Mobile PAYG SIM (EE).
  13. Ask for Murray - probably the best welder currently making narrowboats. I'll put a word in for Mel Davis - although me may have retired. Tim will build your boat if you choose TW, unless they have changed their MO.
  14. A life hammer can be useful, in case exit through a window is the quickest option, or your alternative exit is padlocked from the outside (who on earth would do that?). I believe a fire blanket should be taken out and re-folded from time-to-time.
  15. Have a look at the Froli Bed System. Could be pricey. Available from all good retailers. (https://www.froli.com/en/bed-systems/)
  16. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  17. Wolverhampton Boat Club accept visitors for a small fee (or they did).
  18. There's an o-ring behind the nut which you can replace if needed.
  19. https://www.cotswoldcanals.org.uk/2020/10/16/lottery-funding/
  20. Merevale Estates Seem to be involved - the house above Atherstone.
  21. Most river sections are closed: Ouse, Severn, Kennet, Weaver, Calder & Hebble, Aire & Calder, Soar... The situation is fluid.
  22. CtC just bought some carrots. Now that's what I call excitement.
  23. Electronic ones are pretty good: https://ebay.us/dypVTl I have Honeywell ones, no longer available I believe.
