She is not a child. I don’t know how to create a link. She would be 14 years old now according to the following paragraph taken from an online issue of Waterfront; Making the transition from land to water has been an exciting adventure for 12-year-old Emma, her mum Fiona and their five dogs, who’ve been cruising the canal network in their floating home since May 2018. It’s been particularly exciting for Emma, who began making video blogs and launched her own YouTube channel Narrowboat Girl Edited May 17, 2020 by Goliath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before jumping in with both feet I suggest you get your facts straight. She is not a child. She is 14, she is a child, I imagine only she and you would disagree. If you think she is an adult, to be treated as an adult, I would want to keep kids far away from you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyG Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I think the girl has probably had enough, I know I have. I could hardly believe this is dragging on, so many hurtful and negative comments. I think it is outrageous, and really little to do with boating , a lot to do with ranting by some very unpleasant people.

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. Oh look, Happy Nomad gave Restless Nomad [the one with insight on the OP's situation, and and a Law Degree in Utter Rubbish, a greenie. Coincidence or just pathetic?

They are not discouraged from appreciating each other's posts. Why should it be a problem? Are nomads a protected ethnic group yet? If so, you could be in trouble.

You are soooooooooo innocent, the Nomads are related, of course, so in order to try to get a "won the day award", they give each other greenies, it's pathetic.

For everyone, good grammar and spelling comes from getting it wrong and being corrected. I used to use “jealousy” when the correct word should have been “envy” (yes, they are subtlety different!). A similar thing happened with “its” vs it’s”. These were pointed out to me on here. I welcomed the learning, and now I tend to get it right. It can be the case that people have poor spelling and grammar because they are unable to receive correction and thus unable to learn (there are of course other reasons too). Their choice, but in my opinion learning should have a status above pride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
