Owners and past owners are a minor part of the history. Allybsc being the past owner is even less of his/her business, the clue being in the word "past" Congratulations to the new owners.

My original point was that rather than speculate on what was going on why not simply ask me, your point proves nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because alot of people don't know who owns what boats, I'm buggered if I know who owns every working boat or tug or what there faces are or even the names or worst forum names. The fact you have a pic stood on the back means nothing, I could up load lots of pics of me on the back of boats don't mean I own them might just be a nice pic of me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cheshire~rose Posted November 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I would like to tactfully suggest that perhaps one or two people who may not be aware of the recent history of Birmingham that has led up to the sale to a new owner would do well to wind their necks in and not post comments that may be construed as being hurtful. The boat is no longer for sale, it has a new owner and we all wish that owner well. The fact that the boat is being sold in such fine fettle is a testament to the time it spent with it's previous owners and so anyone who appreciates how much time, money and emotional energy it can take to keep a historic boat in good fettle ought to be thankful for that Here is a line in the sand beyond which discussion on Birmingham should, in my opinion, end unless the new owner decides they wish to join us here to discuss the boat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Having to sell a boat that is loved and cared for is one thing, having/ wanting to sell following bereavement is another. I wish the previous owned well for the future and the new, lucky, owner luck also. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owners don't want to convert it but as it is now theirs it's entirely up to them what they do...but I'm not so secretly glad they don't.

Well that's the problem with forum identities versus real life. Until now you have been on here under a pseudonym and with an avatar that clearly wasn't you, and although you have over the years made references to your canal-based business, I had no idea who you were in real life, or what business you were involved with, or what boat(s) you owned. As far as I know we have never met in real life, but then how would I know? I suspect I am not the only longstanding forum member in this position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-M Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well what a lot of posts and all I did was make an innocent post to a boat advertised on the duck that had been for sale for quite some time. This thread after all is full of links to historic boats that have been for sale. I was just browsing through the duck to pass a bit of time and was surprised that Birmingham came up. Glad it has finally sold for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
