Perfect cc mooring., maybe not

[LadyG]

I'm one min from supermarket, thirty seconds from waterpoint and from elsan. Only a few random passers by...... Been here a week.

Now had a band practicing about ten metres away from me for the last two hours. It was awful, but fortunately it's stopped. Silence is golden.

I do hope you're not referring to the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band.

Maybe it's our resident trombonist!

"Perfect cc mooring"

 

An oxymoron if ever I saw one!

Oh, I dunno.  A fortnight in Brighouse Market Tavern is about as much as my liver can manage!

Perhaps the CRT should adopt some brass bands in other areas CCers think they've found a perfect mooring for the next month or two...

[BEngo]

Or see if Canals Scotland have a pipe band they could send South on loan?

This would be continuously boozing not continuously cruising.

Would that count as a band? It wouldn't count as music...

You could always move if the neighbours are not to your taste!

Awaiting the arrival of rescue Cat Fernando, he's had a bit of a tummy upset, so had to stay in cattery for a few days.

Fresh chicken from Sainsbury's purchased this a.m.

Chicken served two ways: raw minced, fresh poached, served with a side of Sensitive kibble overlaid with a leaf of wild dandelion ---(⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)--

The Roughouse and Blastit band is actually one of the finest bands in the country.!

Brighouse is a good mooring spot.Plenty of pubs,Sainsburys close by.

Suggest not mooring on the towpath outside Sainsburys as I once had some pilloc banging on my roof at 3am.

Yes, much pleasanter down in the lower basin if there's room.  And Brighouse has the best selection of small shops of any town I've moored in, as well as the cheapest department store (Boyes).

And don't forget Czerwiks for a great selection of cheeses, including Wensleydale Blue which is almost impossible to find here, though occasionally pre-packed.

and also if some dick leaves a paddle open you can be left dangling in the basin. 
So worth leaving some slack when tying up. 
 

otherwise it is a lovely spot next to a good town.

And for your next challenge: state a piece if music or music genre that no-one says that about it.

He certainly looks confident and in charge of the situation. 

 

 

[Ianws]

Fernando looks capable of anything. I think @LadyG may be in need of a rescue home soon.

I expect that you could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls  coming from afar.
