I've seen quite a few Hudsons designed like this.

I lost my hot water from engine late last year after inadvertently letting the header tank run empty and air entering system, which was a bit of a bugger as my ebersbastard kept playing up all winter. I've had the opportunity to strip the lot down in the last month, thermostat was OK, water pump was OK, but in the pipe from the thermostat to the calorifier there was a load of crud built up....this had led to the problem. All put back together with new hoses, clips and paint and everything is ticketyboo now. If your thermostat has stuck open, you may not get hot water from a 2LW or 2L2 unless running it on a river anyway as it doesn't get particularly hot.

The BBC article has been edited, the original stated left ALL paddles up as well.

Strange, if you leave ALL the paddles up, you can't get out of the lock you are in. If CRT spokesperson thinks this is a rushing boater they don't know sod all. More likely someone in a low pound draining the one above to level their boat... ..eh. Mike??

The lady said that the broker recommended a survey, not a particular surveyor

I would actually say that sign probably breaks Highways signage regulations and should be removed as it distracts from the road.

This kind of incident proves that the TV detector van doesn't/ didnt exist. You had no TV and they came knocking. A TV detector van would have saved them the hassle. Yes, they had TV enforcement people, but these just went to houses not paying for a licence hoping to see a TV or scare someone into paying.

Probably because Crapita are in charge and they are scared of the cockups coming back to haunt them.

Tony was regularly hassled for overstaying offences - taking his boat daily to a mooring(for shopping, going pub, doctors, mum, because he wanted to) and returning home in the evening. As the boat checkers and enforcement team dont work beyond 5pm - he was always clocked at the daytime spot rather than send someone along every now and again after hours or at weekends to see if he had gone. In effect, his boat was exactly the same as the Mersey ferry detailed by the judge and grudgingly admitted to by BW in the Davies case, it was a genuine bona fide navigation. Another boat this relates to is Growler on the Soar - it is used daily as a ferry as there is no access to the island the owners live on - CRT have issued notices about overstaying and even tried to move them on during severe floods.

You can still have a laptop, tablet or mobile and be safe... Licensable activity does not include: a) watching programmes by means of pre-recorded media such as DVD and Bluray; b) downloading or watching S4C TV on demand on BBC iPlayer or listening to radio programmes on BBC iPlayer. c) downloading or watching on demand programmes from other providers, such as: • ITV Hub, All 4 or Demand 5 • BT Vision, Virgin Media or Sky Go • Netflix or Now TV. AMAZON At the end of the day, you are not at YOUR official residential address, they cant make you stay there nor can they ask you where you are going next. The only other option they have is a NON-Residential address, which their operational policy states is a' business' address. They are conducting this as a scare to get money out of people scheme, quite a common tactic of Capita - a massive business outsourcing and professional services company(also known as Crapita by Private Eye), they are well known for making massive cock-ups such as sending a truancy letter to the family of a pupil who died 2 months earlier, losing many NHS contracts, losing masses of NHS registered patients details and records as they took over its nationwide management...etc etc etc...

3 more raindrops at 1.04pm today.

Sileby Marina and Crockers Farm near Shardlow.

The T&C for boats with a home mooring only changed a couple of years ago,

I think 21p for a raffle ticket for a boat is a damn good deal......and the feathery headdress at £25 is a steal.

It briefly drizzled for 2 minutea in Coalville last night and came back to Northants where it hasn't rained since May 29th bar 7 raindrops from a sunny hazy sky two weeks ago.

He may well not be in an official position any more but I bet his phone call wasn't to the 030340etc number we all are supposed to call.....

Things tend to happen when Nb Helen finds a problem ?

Most people who live there dont even realise there's a river passing by......

Ermine white is also a good in between white

Aqualines are virtually all 2 pack sprayed paint jobs. The manual doesn't always state the colours used as these are quite generic ( same one used for all Canterbury ). We have found that Aqualine are quite helpful supplying Ral numbers though from their boat history records.

...don't forget the Swan....

That's a Wincham in the bow thruster clip. Another builder who doesn't black the tube.

Look at the tides and book your surveyor to visit you on the tidal Thames when the short term docking sites come available.

It's a massive big and ginormous Happy Birthday to my luverlee other half of the Old Friends team. Cunningly disguised as a photographer at the BCN challenge and able to sleep through the biggest lightning storm seen in these Isles for many a year, I blame Munkeh. Happy Birthday ?
