GSer Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Last night I noticed a firey glow along the canal, I called it in to 999 but they already knew about it. Turns out it was a plastic boat that had been moored there at Frouds Lane for a couple of months. It had a patrol notice on it, this morning the notice was discarded on the towpath and the boat was burnt down to the waterline almost, nothing survived, a total loss Seems, perhaps maybe, to be a pattern. 'Harry' was moored/dumped a few miles away at Midgham, that eventually was aparrantly torched in the end. Do you think this is BW's tough stance on continual moorers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smelly Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Insurance claims? The debate around the K&A ends up in loads of rotting, burned out hulks polluting the waterway? Bad result if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi Paul, Stephen was on his way back from work and wondered what the fire engine was doing round and about at midnight, now we know. Bunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Sorry I don't understand that post Hah, remembered... I wonder whether, as the push on the K&A to discourage people from living there occurs, instead of removing boats from the water people will turn to the age old method of disposing of unprofitable cars... Burn it and claim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) instead of removing boats from the water people will turn to the age old method of disposing of unprofitable cars... Burn it and claim! Maybe, to kickstart the floundering boat building industry, the government could introduce a scheme where you take along your old, knackered boat and they give you £2000 towards a new one. Oh, no, I forgot, they only do that to shore up foreign based car manufacturers. Edited March 20, 2010 by carlt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
