Once you're practised, and you can get down Bosley, I've got another one you can do. Had to clean the inlet filter on the washing machine last month - lots of little rusty bits - not a good sign! MP.

Bude is an essential stop on any canal related journey, due to its historical status, therefore must be somewhere that I can test my boating eyes on before taking helm of my craft for a daily navigation to make sure that the engine doesn't seize up. The Exeter canal must be visited to see what happens to irresponsible boat owners... several decimated boats for essential maintenance reminders. The Northern reaches of the Lancaster are a necessary reminder of the way that Governments can destroy a beautiful navigation and communication link to Kendal, the end basin.. now a industrial yard is a warning what can happen when governments plough things though without opposition....visit it NOW...or the rest will disappear under Jenricks illegal housing plans...... ?

Yes I got my exact 'clone' from Aldi - from memory £4.99 Ideal for use when travelling the horses, stores flat and always there for a drink or a feed.

Isnt it funny how your views change over the years. I never used to think ever about toilets when I went out lol. My kidneys are shot and I go at least four times during the night and about every hour and a half during the day, no option with knackered kidneys its a given. Actualy using the motorhome although pretty slow does make sense for a phart like me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The toilet block at the marina is open but the cleaning regime is not enhanced above normal. Instructions are - ''use at your own risk''. I am not going anywhere near .

Are you now saying that you didn't believe the original statement was "fake news", and you were just having a bit of a jest? If so, one could wonder why you insisted on a link? I'll lighten up, and take things less seriously, when things are less serious and warrant some light hearted banter. Government preventing people using their own money to pay for their own tests is serious, and not something to lighten up about. If private tests are to be banned , where does that leave the sports clubs whose current training depends on them? Or are they all 'exceptional circumstances'?

Or are they all 'exceptional circumstances'? The Superdrug and Lloyds Chemist private tests being prevented are for antibodies, and not to test if you are currently infected. I believe the sports club tests are the "currently infected" test, so not being prevented. Given the money involved, they might even be sending them to Germany for analysis, where our government has no power. I could guess that, if Superdrug started offering the "currently infected" test, government may choose to find a way to prevent it - particularly now that track and trace is underway.
