I’m guessing your references are to the Dutch River.

 

So somewhere between Sheffield and Goole/Keadby.

Nope. Never been infallible. 

 

For example back in 1998 I thought I made a mistake, but it turned out I hadn't. So I was right, which meant I was wrong after all....

 

Errrrrr......

Aha. That’s a clue isn’t it?

Anyway, enough of this geographical nonsense.

 

Pumpout or cassette? (Or have you got the best type?  )

 

Cruiser, Trad or Semi?

 

Red, Green or Blue?

 

We already know you have a stove, your slippers and some whisky so your priorities are obviously correct.

Judging by the fact LM has started another thread asking for an electrician in the Doncaster area and has said :

 

OK. there are too many mad 240v / mains on board. Includes a 3Kw inverter installed at pointy end using former bow thruster cabling!

I would like to start by removing the central mains lighting system is it OK to find and disconnect the wire...……………………...

 

I'd suggest she has.

On the other hand, had she bought a boat I’m sure she would be happy to tell us!!

I think she has actually bought a boat.

 

[Rob-M]

It's beginning to look like she has. Perhaps she has purchased some fugly fat boat and is to embarrassed to tell us especially if mrsmelly had something to do with it.

There is a 55'x10' Collingwood called Caledonia listed on the boat listing.

The big question is 'how many blades on your ecofan'?

In which case, I think you have had a PM telling you she has, the same as I had, from the same person.

 

Did the PM seem credible to you?

 

Because the thing that puzzles me, is if she really has bought a boat, why not just say so?

M for mystery. She knows you all like a bit of cat and mouse.

[Mad Harold]

Could be that the boat is so ugly and a rusty pile of poo,that it's embarrasing to admit to buying it.

It might also be an absolute beauty at a bargain price and LG doesn't want to make us all jealous.

Or the name changing paperwork isn't quite through yet and according to canalplan the boat is still showing under her old name. ?

I think CanalPlan only do updates every few years when they can get the details from the Navigation Authorities.

It could take some time.

Well as none of the the boats on canalPlan called Caledonia have been update in the last three years I think its pretty safe bet that the 55ft widebeam isn't Lady G's - if we're working on the premise that last week her boat was called something else.

But you can call it whatever you want - there is no requirement to notify C&RT (or anyone) that the name has been changed.

That's interesting, it would seem that Scottish Canals might be slightly different because when I asked them about changing the name of a boat they told me that they had to be informed of the change and that it had to be visible on the boat. 

 

That wasn't what I meant though, just that those of us with sharp eyes noticed last week that Lady G's boat wasn't called Caledonia, so is therefore unlikely to be one of the boats mentioned on CanalPlan.
