We have 2 Dysons, a hand held Animal and a push along ball thingy, both cast-offs from people with 2 much money and no sense. I dont even wash the filters, just blow them all and all the vortices, out with an airline.

Finally rescued, quick polish and Jif inside and no problem.

Brush, shovel....the people who do this dont care that it is a diesel stove, or dont know....

Probably because it's only on Facebook , I havnt seen an advert yet that I can actually see the boat....along with millions of other normal people.

We have seen several boats with existing Bubble diesel stoves, and at least one Lockgate Morso Squirrel used as multi fuel stoves. They just do it. Dont care. What's the difference etc.... Might be a bit hairy if the diesel isnt turned off or ran out though!!

That's because you admitted drinking Watneys Red Barrel in a time long ago.

So 2 110AH batteries should give him enough and a bit left over for his hair dryer too.

What do you mean cant move? I used to work in Central London and come home, move the boat, ..in Winter sometimes. Next you will be asking what about those who need to walk their dogs twice a day, maybe they shouldnt move until then dog dies?

Me thinks the large numbers of people standing there with placards in the way and the online publicity of the salmon egg laying season being destroyed were too much of a risk even to shareholders.

They were dumping sewage all last Summer, many seaside resorts had closed or red flagged beaches for weeks. This is happening as there are little or no repercussions for dumping it, the EA and OFWAT seem to be useless or in the trough, and the only priority for the water companies is dividends and bonuses.

We are assuming the OP has actually tried to make the red light go out.... Starting engine 20 times and travelling 14 miles suggests someone who isnt cruising any distance, and may rarely, or never rev the engine to excite the alternator.

Simon, I do not doubt your integrity, and trustworthiness, however, I do doubt the other party. Why is there such a need for a massive storm drain outlet from a sewage works in a green belt area when they are no longer connected to Cambridges storm drains? If I have no other outlet to try to swing you, just have a peep at an old Undertone with an attitude... Dont forget, the present Environment Minister who has only appeared in public in Newark once since New Year, Steve Barclay , has a wife on the board of Anglian Water.

We have recently had to deal with a pretty new(2017) boat from a very reputable hull and fitter, which had a water full bilge. Trad stern, this is important. A very well put together boat on the surface, quality everything. Damp smell and visible water under the forward cabin ballast. ....more water further back....visible damp to woodwork in galley area. First obvious attention was to the water tank under front deck and water pumps, no leaks. Then try bathroom, under shower inaccessible, toilet and hand basin, but all hoses seem secure, inch of water in bilge. FlexiCamera under shower sees no leak when shower running and gulper going... 2nd bedroom, over an inch of water, steel ballast over ballast bricks rusting... We noticed straight away in the front and shower area that the spray foaming of the boat had gone down to the base plate cross members and the drainage holes had been blocked, not just one, but every one we could access, therefore any water couldnt drain back. The kitchen area lower regions were deep in water. Around 500 litres were taken out. Moved the boat into the dock for further investigation. Stern Gland impossible to access without dismantling rear cabin woodwork and metal framing, stern gland pouring in. Previous owner said " what's the bilge?" Basically, the inaccessible rear end has led to it flooding the boat forwards. , bit by bit. The bilge pump worked, until someone cut the auto wire switch as it was cutting in all the time. The engine bay itself was dry, as the cocooned engine and drip tray was installed above the bilge, so nobody thought the cabin water was coming from the back.....it was slowly going forward under the hidden areas. The company involved said there was no fault in their fitout. I suggested that blocking bilge drains in at least 6 visible (the only visible drain holes) areas with sprayfoam was not good practice. No response yet.

It's not who gets in, it's how many we get out, as it appears they all have their snouts in the trough. The Teeside SEZ is apparently a model for the next 76 planned SEZs that will happen as the local councils go bankrupt due to reduced gov financing along with additional financial responsibilities. The Teeside mayor and his mate with Micheal Goves blessing bought the revelopment land ( 100 acres) for £100, charged the Gov for clearing and making safe, and have made approx £240m so far in scrap sales, planning, various schemes and the Governement inquiry is led by Micheal Gove with people appointed by Micheal Gove and has its publication pushed back 3 times so far, and now after the next election...

The main problem is Mike, the water companies are taking out billions of pounds in shareholder and directors bonuses and are not only investing nothing in improvements, but they are expecting the taxpayers to pay for those in increased bills whilst still increasing dividends, and debts taken against the assets. Ofwat, the regulator, is in the pockets of the water companies, (79% of water company directors were part of OFWAT before being directors). The self regulated outflow monitoring is a joke, most are hiding the figures, changing red to blue or green on the maps to hide the danger....the rest are shocking. I know Simon(Scholar Gipsy) has the best intentions, but this has gone beyond nice communications and agreeing things. For a start, why has the storm drain output got the same output capability as the final outlet when the sewage farm is not on the main Cambridge storm drain system any more. A question that MUST be asked.

Thankyou very much David for these pictures from your past, the top end of the canal is much changed and pretty dead now, even couple of Springers on the moorings!!

The main problem with this, and anything the water companies are doing, is TRUST, and there is none. They are dumping sewage hand over fist daily, weekly, without a care for the environment or waterways users. They are purely a vassal for profit making and dividend sharing, taking debt to pay shareholder bonuses but expecting customers to foot the bill for any improvements they have to make when toothless OFWAT say they need to improve things. This corrupt government is at this very moment putting into place legislation protecting shareholders from any water company going bust, or privatisation....and doing nothing about sewage dumping.

Potential to get rid of those dirty boaters and build a lovely detached property .....

They are not Gardner specific, but you want to look for the lower temp one, not 82c

The James Bentley Archive also refers to the Welton tunnel. I would think Braunston was a minor village with wharf on the Oxford canal, and only became an important junction when the GU joined....therefore the tunnel was named after the largest local village....Welton. Similarly, Norton Junction is a mile and a half from Norton Village , Buckby Wharf a mile and a half from Long Buckby.

Your diesel heater will have an entirely different set of piping to the cauliflower than the engine set, and yes, it should have it's own header tank.
