Well said!

Calcutt Top Lock a season or two ago, we were going up, a fatarse, sorry widebeam coming down.

I said, perhaps a tad too loudly, 'Good Gawd. Its a fatarse'.

Cue Mrs Fatarse, sorry, widebeam to the downhill end of the lock as we were rising, saying "You're only jealous 'cos you've only a scruffy narrowboat (the cheek of the woman!) and can't afford a nice £250,000 boat like we can"

And you sound like another one with a large mouth if I'm being honest. 

 

There's no more a "typical wide beam attitude" than a typical narrow boat attitude. That's just a figment of your own prejudice and bigotry.

So you intentionally insulted someone because you didn't like their boat and then you got offended when they returned the favour? Can you spot the hypocrisy?

 

There are plenty of instances of conflict and insults thrown around between owners of lots of different types of boats including narrow boat vs narrow boat. But if you really want to try to negatively characterise people on the basis of the boats they own it really says much more about you than it does about them.

It goes with the territory of being a human being evolved from cavemen when anyone not in your clan was the enemy as they competed for your food and women. Some people struggle to move on from their ancient ancestors! We got the same kind of prejudice about our choice of boat builder, even though he made great boats and I have never encountered an “up themselves”  owner.

To which the obvious retort would be along the lines of "No, you're jealous 'cos you're living in a boat and can't afford a nice £750,000 house"

 

But as others have suggested, better just to let it go. Trading insults is like wrestling with a pig: You both get covered in sh*t, but the pig enjoys it.
