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

I had already participated in the discussion when my signature stated that I owned Birmingham, many people on here know me out in the real world. I've been on this forum since 2005.

My original point was that rather than speculate on what was going on why not simply ask me, your point proves nothing.

Well I for one didn't have a clue you owned it or that the owner was even on this forum

Some of the people who were talking about Birmingham know me very well.

Nor I. Though having seen pictures of BIRMINGHAM before thought - Wow! Yes please.

 

It would be a pity if it was 'converted', but owners call the shots.

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.

Then why not quote Brians post instead of mine, would have been less confusing.

Bob might have meant 'seconded'.

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.

Are you talking to me here? My Avatar is me and I've never had a canal based business...what are you basing this on?

[Rob-M]

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.

I think David is confusing you with another Ally on the forum.

I for one knew you owned Birmingham but only met you fleetingly when our paths crossed at Stourton junction a few summers ago. I knew why you were selling and now that its been sold hope that you can move on. It would be great to see you out and about on the canals in a different boat. I also hope that the new owners look after Birmingham as well as you did. I do have a couple of good photos of Birmingham if you would like them.

Finally, New and Useless admit to selling lots of unfinished and crap boats for years......

 

"I believe Pacific is probably the most complete boat of its kind that we have had the privilege to sell here at Mercia."

We’ll we bought ours from there and there was 17 foot missing, so pacific is more complete. After 9 years it’s still work in progress!

 

They have sold a number of good old boats over the years. I couldn’t fault them, and it was our fourth old boat!
