[bigcol]

Me thinks you have not read the posts

The Mob have arrived and after a short riot some tear gas and mounted police it seems to be getting sorted. Just waiting for boaters to return from A&E

Yeah, but so is sewer tub and yoghurt pot, but those terms are also used on here so really we aren't in any position to call foul ...besides for me, I take it all in stride and think in most cases it's a bit of harmless fun or envy coming through from those who suffer having either a walk through bathroom or beds that need to be folded up and down daily just to get from one end of the boat to the other.

 

They to be the ones who always come back with the argument that we are limited in how much of the system we can cruise. But in reality that is actually the full length of two of the longest canals in the country, numerous canalized rivers and the northern section of another canal...to date, we don't feel too hard done by

[kris88]

There's is definately alot of widebeam envy about.

Narrowboat, narrowmind Is what I put it down to, but what can you expect from people who live in corridors. I do always forget to put a smiley face on a post to denote humour though.

It's not a matter of lknowing your rights, but standing up to defend them. Or else they get eroded.

Regards kris

 

Well that fair enough, and all very noble, but what about the other person's rights though?

 

The guy may well have handled it badly, but that doesn't mean his life isn't being made unpleasant by noise and disturbance. I'm pretty certain that if I had people running generators and making a noise at the bottom of my garden that I'd feel a bit aggrieved.

 

With rights comes responsibilities, and one of those is not to cause a nuisance to others. In that regard CRT specifically ask boaters to avoid running engines and generators when moored close to houses, and to be responsive to neighbours requests for peace and quiet. Doing so, just because you can, and because it's not illegal, whilst knowing that it's causing a nuisance to someone else, goes beyond defending one's rights, and into the realms of being selfish and inconsiderate.

 

Whatever happened to common courtesy, and a willingess to consider how one's rights might affect another, before stubbornly excercising them?

^{Maybe the house holder had a Nasty Boater stop at this mooring, but he should not be threatening any future boat moorers with 'a phone call to his Son'.}

 

^{Threatening Behavour is that not a criminal offence in its own right > i think it is.}

 

^{I may be wrong but in this case i rekon if you were super quite did not make a peeping sound he would still turn up with a red face shouting the odds.}

^{I am on my own would just moor further up, but the question is 'a principle is at stake here' people pay a licence fee and are allowed to moor up in certain parts of the canal system unless otherwise stated by a sign or whatever.}

 

^{I guess what i mean is, if everyone just moved on further up the canal and moored somewhere else then how long is it before no one wants any moorers whatsoever,}

 

^{If the Canals did not have Boats using them they would fall in and fill up with weeds mud and become a public hazard.}

 

^{The House Guys a Numpty plain and simples.}
