Gerald went past on Tuesday, Towcester and butty went by yesterday. Dolphin might even be there!

I think the list of boats will be longer than the list of cars in the car park at £20 a shot.

There's no point trying to broaden your knowledge if you are only going to carry on and do what you know is best anyway.

So you ask our advice and then do something different...... never mind... We can't see where the wires go in from your picture, but there will generally be 6 holes in a row that you can stick wires into. They are usually wired PV pos, PV neg, batt pos, batt neg, load pos, load neg. The last 2 are rarely used.

...or they were speeding when they still had some fuel left.... As far as I know it's a write off and we may see the crew on another little boat next year.....

Quote...." Post no. 342.....Member name....Jenlyn....... Cant believe what that Parry idiot has done now, got the new logo printed on Cement bags so visitors to lock works absorb the brand better....." ? Fake news....

Richard and CRT hoping to cement our trust with this statement and new logo....

Well if 1/4 the population of Leicester can claim the Lower Soar as an extension of the Ganges then yes, I claim the Grand Union as a tributary of de Nile.

cough......

Sorry, for some reason my phone is posting posts half way through and I have to edit to finish them.

I can almost see where you are coming from but unfortunately you don't travel far enough or for long enough to see the long term damage happening to the system due to short term contractor deployment and when jobs are done, nothing else around gets picked up like it used to be, only the specific job on the sheet is completed.

They did such a fantastic boat that the survey last week showed a baseplate of 15mm instead of the 10mm that the seller's thought they had.

They should be chained to the pontoons, not allowed out, that canal is not big enough for them.

...but that's exactly where the marketing survey said we need it Alan. So those 10m people who live within 10 miles of a canal can come down to Stoke Bruerne bottom lock and have their awareness raised and wellbeing pummeled by the blue sign on the waste enclosure. I have no doubt next year's questions on the survey will be ideally suited to making the awareness percentage having risen.

It'll be fun doing the challenge next year then if they do another Minworth barrage once it reopens

Yes, the area gets damp and condensation even if fully sealed round the edges. The panels themselves don't take any wear at all, connections between cells breaking within 12 months on a regular basis. This is from more than one manufacturer. Of course some people will have one that has lasted 5 years, but I've seen and replaced lots which haven't. The unisolar ones are your best bet, one each side to get your 24v

I will not fit those any more. Far too much trouble and also ruin the paint underneath them.

I wonder if English heritage will object to lots of blue things being stuck on historic buildings and structures, ruins what they are supposed to be preserving.

Perhaps they can just put lots of blue signs along the route, much cheaper....

so why was the chugger in Birmingham wearing the old logo fleece 4 days after the new signage was put up where the chuggers have been chugging for the last 3 years at the top of farmers bridge locks. I dont mean just one sign, the whole lot, noticeboards, signposts and others. They could have kept the black information boards with perspex windows and just rebranded with a blue sticker, but no, they took the old one away and stuck a new shiny blue one there, and stuck the old out of date information notices out of the old one in the new one.

taken over a couple of days, between thunderstorms...

bLUMMINN ECKERS, you dont know what you missed...

Came through there last June on a boat and there was a Hindu lady throwing a whole loaf in, not just one slice at a time, but handfuls of slices as fast as possible then she walked off before seeing the ducks feeding.

You mean start at 9.30 and finish at 3 like they do in the Winter.

I remember being in Paddington basin in 2010 when someone opened all the Camden lock paddles during the night. Next morning the pound was almost 2 feet down and lots of damage caused around Camden locks to the towpaths and ad joining properties. That pound including Slough arm is 22 miles
