Rickent Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Should move directly outside their house, burn dogshit in your stove and run a generator until midnight. Only joking, but why do people have to cause other people so much trouble, boaters should expect people to leave at least 2 m between themselves and boats.

I think you will find its 2 Mt between people, not people and boats. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restlessnomad Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Think she is overreacting a bit, your boat must be nice if people want to look at it. And some will look through window, draw your curtains or add tinted film may be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRT advice is to avoid using towpath where there are moored boats, I think it's pefectly reasonable to expect Joe Public not to be hugging your boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Why worry about being reported to CRT for not moving? You cannot move. End of. Social media is full of attention seeking drama queens.....

zenataomm Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Over reaction I fear. Probably on both parties. There's a lot of cabin fever going about. One thing that would stop this immediately is to put a notice in your window ...... Occupants Currently Recovering From Coronavirus Then draw your curtains on that side.

I think she parked her boat behind somebody's house, stayed there for few days and home owner fought with them. After the conflict they probably moved and called the police. With CCers being allowed to stay for infinite period, there is bound to be some conflict with home owners who will think some water gypsy just rocked up on a boat and now lives behind their house. I am not taking everything she says at face value, police did the right thing in resolving the conflict, what else ppl expect from police.

blackrose Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Storm in a teacup. They all need to calm down. So much for everyone being kind to each other during this time. Has anyone else heard of dogs pushing against boat windows when moored on the towpath? I think she's talking nonsense. It sounds like all the boaters need to do is go inside the boat when people walk past to maintain social distancing. Passersby shouldn't be looking in through boat windows, but if it's really an issue why doesn't she just close the curtains on the towpath side?

BEngo Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 If things like this come to a political/press sh*tfight, boaters everwhere will lose out. There are fewer votes in boats than from folks on the bank, the majority of the money for CRT and EA comes from the taxes of the folk on the bank and all poiticians follow the votes.

canalboat Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Suggestions: Practice making your point in 30 seconds or less. Move your boat to a water point to fill up and then moor up somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pete.i Posted May 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 It's as plain as day to me why this young lady is complaining. She is 100% correct. Bunch of idiots on this thread though. Pretty much par for the course on this forum unfortunately. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Like my son, the young lady in question has Asperger’s. I know it may be difficult for some to appreciate this. Please do not be too harsh on her. Edited May 9, 2020 by Ray T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
