If you've not a tap to hand, 1 or 25 litre water carriers is a good idea

The prize goes to the most constructive comment... OP however much it is desirable, the planning, benefits and (often) council tax office are viewed as constitutionally different organisations in UK law. You need to let the Council Tax office know you've moved out and; just as important, who's moved in. And Don't be surprised if ctax is levied for the time you are at the mooring. If you've nowhere else but the boat and declare a mooring asmain base you're likely liable. Lots of links to the guidance on here if you search... Dave, Bailii link?

How do. I've been moored in a low signal area for a while so have struggled to hunt this down. Best to ask... Does anyone know of a link to a consolidated list? The crt site seems to be canal by canal and I've not sufficient patience to trawl it from the end of a stuttering gprs connection. Thanks in advance.

Just a guess but is that an anchor handling boat?

I was briefly involved with NABO but was wholly unimpressed with the lack of democracy. The agm I attended voted "x" and that promptly went in the bin and the council exercised their discretion to do "y".instead. If they removed the council's discretion to decide what's best for their membership I'd probably reconsider.

There will be people going to law should the same farce be repeated. They will mire CRT in legal costs which will wholly undermine the purpose. They only need to leave one seat free; two would look less aggressive.

So... NABO is rather undemocratic, RBOA is renowned for tending to the conservative at the expense of those down at heel, and the IWA needs no explaining after the CRT elections. A fourth organisation would appear to be called for to unite the disgruntled masses. It would seem that that; and possibly a fifth too, is what might be evolving... After the next CRT council election; when IWA would frankly be insane to try what they tried the last time; maybe there will be an organisation who could step to the table and adequately represent the unaligned masses. Good oh! All we need is those unaligned masses willing to step up.

Very handy to nip into screwfix

The Banks's pub is likely the Wagon & Horses. It's one of those places where most are draped in nylon, there's persistent house music blaring and most folk are recanting tales of how their [insert dangerous dog of choice] chewed up an immigrant recently. L*g*r is the tipple of choice and the "ale" comes in metered measures straight from the nitrokeg. The mooring on the services side next to the crt workboat mooring was 14 day last time I looked, just before xmas

Very nearly says it all.

Brazil uses methanol to replace petrol; grown from sugar cane, rathet than biodiesel produced from the various veg oils.

The Fountain is much improved over how it once was. Worth a visit and wholesome, big, cheap, food.

A random thought has me paying my licence into a trust fund...

I'be got a spare should you wish to exchange beer tokens...

and of course where the legislation lays a discretion at the feet of CRT, only fettered by the Wednesbury rules and definitions of "navigation" it can only remain wooly. Which it necessarily must be for however grave your accident Mr Boiler man it would be inhuman to turf you off your boat 15 days later... As I sit stuck in one place with my knackered shoulder, having failed to find a mooring within commutable distance of work for 8 months now and otherwise having diligently stuck to "da rules" in that time, i wonder whether my experience might temper your comments above.

Or would you publish how many missives IWA have received in their "heavy postbag" along with the number of IWA members? I only ask because in my activist days we'd post bricks to free post addresses which might be skewing your scales... No, honestly it would be useful to know the ratio of your membership who are bothered against those who aren't.
