Bit sketchy, expected better from an old master.

Brush with reality, maybe?

That is the whole point, every viewer has a different experience, you are drawn in to engage with the art, not told what to think. A camera would do that. Her sketchiness is her art, her boat an installation. You engage with it, it has an emotional effect.

I get the impression this thread has enlightened the modernists

Maybe the OP should pay the legal owner of the land for the time they spent mooring there.

Kids in a school class asked to draw a picture of a horse pulling a barge. 

 

Little Johnny only does a picture of a horse. 

 

Why?

Hmmm, so the OP paid for a couple of years, presumably happily, is now a CCer and wants all her rent back? I wonder what the reason for the change of circumstances is, a falling out with the "landlord", a quest for revenge? 

The landlord stated they paid the L3 this turned out to be a lie.

I don't think there arrr all that many posters on here who live on long term non residential moorings.

Maybe a few but not many.

 

White privilege ? Of course! Why have it any other way?

I don't care if someone disagrees with me what I do care about is the rude and insulted way it has been done along with completely false assumptions about my actions, interestingly they don't do it on the facebook page as much because they know their windows are made from glass.

Was this a towpath mooring that someone was claiming they had leased from the CRT? If so I am surprised it took so long for the CRT to find out. Maybe related to the covids? 

 

 

facebook is known to be zombie land. Everyone knows this.

Must confess I completely fail to understand that post, or what white privilege has got to do with it?

Be that as it may, I lived on what was almost certainly a technically non residential long term mooring for a while, back near the start of my boating. Generally speaking, you ask the bloke or blokess in charge of the mooring whether you can live on the boat  and they say yes or no. You certainly don't ask for references, confirmation from CRT etc. You're just glad to have somewhere to park your boat or live. If they tell you the CRT fees are included in your rent you tend to assume they are (because sometimes they are,  and sometimes, like mine, they aren't), same as you assume your employer or landlord pays their taxes. Sometimes they don't and you, quite innocently, cop the fallout, which is often joblessness or eviction. Landlords are generally distrusted for good reasons (though some, of course, are fine and upstanding citizens), mostly from personal experience.

It's very annoying, but the way the law is, there is no redress. There are good reasons for that, if by good you mean legal precedent rather than moral judgement. That would be a discussion for the political forum where angels, and I, fear to tread.

I see a post furher up was deleted presumably due to the use of the word sometimes acronymed to DH. 

 

 

It makes it look like I threw my toys out of the pram and creates a non sequitur.

That does cause confusion. I was confused enough to start with.

[magnetman]

I'm thinking of throwing my toys out of the pram on the grounds of misrepresentation. 

 

Does the site need a new moderator or Something?

Maybe she got a letter from CRT starting, Dear Karen..................

Edited the post to absolve you.

I have some  far worse memes if you do chuck your toys

It would be interesting to get the gen without having to wade in the facebook cess pool. 

 

Illegal subletting of canalside moorings probably does happen and one suspects it is not always the CRT doing it.

Thanks Tim but I looked there and couldn't see it. I know there's a few other boaty groups on Facebook.

May we surmise you weren't getting any of the right answers on facebook which is why you turned up here? Also perhaps explains why you are on such a short fuse, as you've already had feedback along the same lines you had here?
