We are in the middle of a national crisis and you expected C&RT to respond to you apparently almost immediately at the weekend!!!! Why the need to "scream and shout" at them ? You have repeatedly complained of not getting emails etc from them but you have never acknowledged or replied to the many messages on here telling you how to register to get them . Why?? Folk on here have repeatedly given you advice and asked what questions you want answered as they might be able to help but you ignore these messages. Why?? I think it is time for us to scream and shout at you to stop being such a diva demanding attention and for you to give C&RT some slack in these difficult times for them as well as us. haggis 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just hoping to do what I originally wanted to do, sort the boat, potter about. I told owner a while ago that I'd be off, I get the impression there are a lot of people on here who use social media to attack peple rather than supporting their elders and betters. ? I have a message for them. go away Ah it makes sense now. You are one of those old people who expects everyone to do as you want when you want even if that is completely at odds to what common sense says is the right thing to do. Perhaps you should step back and look at your own actions before complaining about others around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, but your attitude stinks, as you are finding to your detriment. Would you not be annoyed if you had to make about five calls over three days last week, to discuss a simple matter, things changed after last w/end as the rules were changed. All in all I made at least five calls to the call centre, this week, and only one guy actually got the message, he did also called back to see if I had had any response, and then someone from CRT actually called me at 16.00 yesterday after I called via the emergency number [also the call centre]. They are supposed to be working from home, the response is supposed to be seamless. Edited March 28, 2020 by LadyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had listened to advice here you would not need to have called CRT who are extremely busy at the moment trying to answer other idiots as well as genuine callers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her boat is her home, so she would be staying at home even if that home moved. I thought I had read elsewhere on CWDF that they were permitted to move. So did I, but it changed at some indeterminate time, not sure when CRT changed their rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All big l'aboards are in a line, I planned to leave anyway, asap really. You sound like the ideal moorer, the kind that every Marina operator would want and the kind of person everyone would like to be berthed next to. Hopefully you'll go continuous cruising, so when someone upsets you, you can move on. I suspect you'll be the model CCer and never break the overstay rule. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation is fluid. Don't expect it to be the same from one day to the next at the moment. Go online (you did register didn't you?) and check your communication preferences with CaRT and make sure you sign up for notices for your waterway. If they are all set, there is some technical reason for you not receiving them. As you're getting other mails, maybe check your spam etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin like Perhaps the OP might like to take a step back look at what she is requesting from CRT and then realise that actually she is expecting other people to put their lives at risk to get her out of a position that she willingly put herself in. The OP needs to realise she is no more important than anyone else and is very much on her own in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to be working from home, the response is supposed to be seamless. Here is the latest advice on cruising from CRT from there web site via the links I posted for you. There are 5 reasons you can travel by boat on their waterways When can I cruise? Following the announcement from the Prime Minister (8.30pm, 23 March 2020) regarding the UK’s response to the coronavirus crisis, we are asking leisure boaters to stop all non-essential travel and not to visit their boats if they do not live aboard permanently. As a result, and to help those who live-aboard (along with those who would need to travel to their boat in order to move it) we are suspending the requirement to move every 14 days. The suspension will be kept under review in line with revised Government guidance, applying initially until 14 April 2020. During this period, you do not need to contact us to tell us you will be staying in one location for more than 14 days. If you are a live-aboard boater or are currently occupying your boat, essential movement could be: to access water or waste facilities to access essential food and supplies to access urgent medical treatment for emergency mechanical service for your boat for emergency vet treatment for your pet Please note that from Monday 30 March, unless there is an emergency or boaters require passage for one of the reasons above, all our employee-operated locks, bridges and tunnels will be closed.

Your advice, would be be better aimed at dealing with the cause of the problem not the effect it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
