It's got a 28mb regulator, so assume that it's just a hob which is fiercer than I'm used to.

I was in one of the big Severn locks when a Worcester wedding cake pulled in behind (three tiers, white with a couple on top). The driver called down that he was nervous coming in with us but thought he'd be ok when he saw our geraniums on the roof.

There aren't many big marinas around Oxford. Lots of tupperware on the Thames but most of it doesn't venture onto the canals.

I've checked the jets and they are to spec for 28 mbar butane. Not going to worry.

Probably easier at a weekend, hire boats will be being turned around.

It is secondhand and of unknown history.

Thanks! I suspect it has got the proper jets, but the plate has no useful information linked. It was purchased secondhand with no information. I'll check the regulator later.

Doesn't answer the question...

Actually nothing to do with boats but there are people here who know about gas... What would be the effect of using a hob fitted for mains gas with LPG? I ask as a friend in France has a UK manufactured hob using LPG and it seems to be very fierce. Wondering if it has been converted and how one can tell.

If you do that you'll be charged for a day's licence at king's lock. No idea how much that is but you might want to consider it. The stretch through the meadows is gorgeous though.

No recipe, just washed them and simmered in a pan with some oil as one might with spinach. Probably chucked in a chopped few cloves of garlic which was probably all we had on board. Lots of pepper.

At this time of year it should be possible to find a mooring on the canal in Jericho. Very close to the station, last time I stopped there the noise from trains was excessive. My favourite is to turn upstream from Sheepwash channel, it's possible to tie up to trees between there and Bossoms boatyard. 24h limit but the signage is invisible. Very quiet and close to the station. Towpath access to botley road was closed last time I looked two weeks ago due to roadworks but the path alongside Sheepwash is quicker to the centre. You won't be going through a Thames lock so buy a licence when you do.

Most likely scenario is getting stuck on the wrong side of an unanticipated closure (lock failure etc). Not unheard of. The hire company should have contingency plans.

I bet it's the same part as on my standalone Vanette cooker which is going to be scrapped next week. Available Oxford or Gloucestershire.

🤣 I remember coming down from Banbury in torrential rain. Tied up in the middle of nowhere after six hours, the sun came out. No food on board other than dried pasta. Foraged for nettles and made a nice sauce. Blackberries for pud. Simple things can be good!

Abingdon is our usual short trip out(from Oxford). Our favourite spot is just below the lock on pins. No traffic noise, just the sound of the weir. It's a short walk into town over the weir and through Abbey Gardens. There's usually plenty of room if you don't get there very late in the peak season.

We used that for degreasing in the nuclear industry. Smelt lovely and made the mechanics smell good. Well, better than normal but one didn't go around sniffing them.

Caravan shops.

Horizontal. It's the bit over the prop (unless I've got my nomenclature wrong, which isn't unknown!)

I've mounted my webasto on 12mm ply glued to the top of the uxter plate using short screws (self tappers if I remember rightly, they've got more thread).

Is the 230V system connected to the inverter using a plug? If so, has the fuse blown in it?

Alternatively buy a jar of tom yum paste from any good supermarket, add protein of choice and follow the instructions. Noodles optional and it will taste like the real thing. Ditto if you buy a jar of red or green Thai curry sauce.

It's cross sectional area that matters and one needs to be clear what one is specifying. 4mm diameter copper is in round numbers 15 square mm. Unfortunately a lot of people say e.g. 6mm wire when they mean 6 square mm.

The different plugs caused some confusion when I changed heads on my old 1.8. The original one had the thin plugs which are relatively high resistance and were connected by some not very thick cable to the start switch. The new ones had a resistance of not much over an ohm and, after a lot of fruitless attempts to start with the original wiring, needed a relay installed to get the engine going.

😃 Still can't get Andy or anyone else there to communicate. I'm not sure if Anglo Welsh is still next door.
