So thats £150 per month... not bad for a Thames mooring. Not for me though. I quite like the river where I am. :-)

Patrick, ive uploaded some on my facebook, have a look.

Have you been hit by another boat in the last three years? you could be entitled to compesasion.

On a different tack, I stopped on my way to Swansea at 14 locks. Intriguing setup of sets of staircase locks, with an very interesting way to fill the side ponds. And a fascinating feature in one of the locks, which has shelfs on both sides, which look like they may have been used for 'dry docking'. I'll post the pics when I have a better connection.

Armour without infantry support is a collection of coffins. And yes, an invasion would have never succeded, unless the Royal Navy and Royal Airforce would have been destroyed. Even if the Germans could have landed sufficient troops to get a beach head, resupply would have been neigh on impossible to achieve. The battle of Britain was the German attempt to destroy the Royal Airforce, as a prelude to Operation Seelöwe. The failure to do so, was yhe end of the German invasion plans.

It would depend on the particular location, if a hard edge to the bank, tanks of that era would not have found it easy. The pill boxes would have been used primarily to hinder the efforts of sappers and engineers who might have tried to create bridges or ramps. It is also easier to stop infantry trying to cross a water obstacle.

I didn't make it up. Others did that, when having a pop at CC'rs who CCed (or bridge hopped) on the K&A (or other canals) and complained about BW harassing them. Now that CRT are are dealing with those who bridge hop whilst never, or rarely, returning to the home mooring, they cry wolf.

The Germans had bunkers along our canals??

There's no law that says that you must travel a minimum distance either.

You indicated that you might go CC if CRT enforce the 'no bridge hopping with a mooring'. Can we take that you will travel further than Anhyo? ;-) It appears that they do, when not on their home mooring.

as long as you pay £5 per night, is there a limit on how long you can stay?

They start to sound like those ex clamping cowboys, who now run the extortion rackets in car parks. ..
