Fairy Snuff. BW (and C&RT) have said that they do not use boat names, and only recognise the registration number. Being in the 'Doncaster post code' I guess it will be 'English' rules that will apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that they wouldn't, only that my experience is not in Doncaster and therefore I didn't realise there was a difference. Scottish Canals is BW though.

Just to avoid any future confusion : "Scottish Canals" was "British Waterways Scotland" to differentiate it from "British Waterways" after they were 'split off' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, if you print your own licence 'discs' to display but without telling CRT of your boat name change, the previous boat name will be on those licences which could lead to endless confusion and perhaps accusations of fraud.

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? Perhaps it is an embarrassing boat? 11 minutes ago, Rob-M said: Alan Pease in Goole have a few boats listed as recently sold so maybe LadyG purchased one of those.

Arthur Marshall Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 And no, it's not cold in winter. Or summer, for that matter. I've just got back into a centrally heated house after six weeks on the boat, and I'm freezing... Some years back, I moved from the boat into a house in the middle of a December ice age and had to have the heating on in the house on max 24 hours a day while I got used to how cold they are comparatively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
