You wanna be in my gang my gang my gang?
Wanna be in my gang?

Are there signs on those fences "don't feed the boaters" ?
-
But I flush the hose each time and the tank regularly and chlorinate the water- so I'll take my chance- goodness knows where those Rhinos have been and I'm sure urine would be an aquired taste- does anyone know?
Nobody drinks urine for its exquisite palate...
If you are in a position where no drinking water is available, you'll find that urine is salty, but also live saving.

Yawn
Told you so.

Request a judicial review, silly...
What? You mean that you would question CRT's remit?
surely it's their waterway, and you have to play by their rules?
-
They won't. It's a legal and legitimate way to boat.
Not according to CRT. What will you do when they tell you that you need to get back to your mooring, when you are not cruising?
-
Whilst most of the rest of us get on with enjoying our boating...
Said by a man who bridge hops away from his mooring....
when will they come for you?
-
You're absolutely right Luc - I do care too much. Good advice - thank you (and I mean that)
Just once in a while, I come out with a sensible thought.. ;-)
-
Stop caring what other people might think of what you are happy with.
-
For the home moored and there was nothing we could do about it? Wrong, two boaters I know of have done something, they've quit our once peaceful waterways and opted for an enforcement free venue. One without Big Brother status.
You miss the point I'm making, but you are also right.
This is one of the reasons why I sold my nb, and have moved.

Of all the places mentioned, Camden has to be the worst, or best. At least the top two locks are fenced but you have your work cut out at the bottom lock getting people to get up and remove their dangling feet from over the lockside.
I nudged the gates when going up, and if possible, opened the gates with the bow..
If having to open the gates by hand, I started opening them regardless of anybody sitting on them.
They always move..

First they came for the Continues Moorers, and I approved.
Then they came for the Continues Cruisers, and I didnt care.
Then they came for the Home Moorers, and there was nothing we could dk about it.

Sorry to hear of Steve's passing away. All mickey taking apart, he was a crafts man who was part of the broad tapestry that makes the cut. If he doesn't get 'replaced' or his business carried on, it is another nail in the coffin of the canal world as we know it.

I would check details the advert is over a year old
Keith
ahh, yes, missed the date. Still, I responded to the comment on the deal on offer, which was a good deal then, and a good deal still, if still on offer.

I was tempted until found out this-
We have suddenly found that several people who originally volunteered to train as boatmasters have had to withdraw. So we are looking for volunteers willing to be trained. The training to Maritime and Coastguard Agency standards is very demanding and normally expensive. However B&MK will pay the costs, but in return we ask for a commitment of 2 days a month and for 3 years service, plus we ask for a £200 training bond which is returnable after 3 years.
Whilst 3years may look like a long time, they ask for only two days a month commitment. And £200 fkr a boat master's ticket is good value. Go for it.

Do I need to run an air cooled lister out of the water?

Yes
(see answer below, if you need more than a mono syllabic answer...)
-
You're just showing off now.
-
What is it with people who ask questions on internet fora, but don't bother to acknowledge any replies?
And they wonder why I stopped replying years ago...
-
somebody will be along shortly, to ask why you posted this question twice.
