It's a generic thing you get with video editing software that justs bungs some prerecorded crap alongside the pictures and trims it to size. Could have been worse, might have been a drum solo... Bagpipes... 

 

Now they could have at least matched the music to the boat .........

One definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes ... but doesn't!

 

I understand they were invented by a Scotsman who stood on his cat and liked the noise.

 

:D

 

I thought it was a haggis not a cat.

Tidy looking boat.

There's a history involved: could be "political"

but the pipes can be enjoyed : ............... Amazing Grace at 2.39

Quite,

 

I thought the Forum used to be a bit surreal in the past, but lately it seems to have got a whole lot weirder!

Seems to happen when some areas of the canal get iced in, I always assumed (boat) cabin fever starts to kick in

Strange, there could not be any more bagpipes if the whole HLI were involved. 

try again Andre Rieu Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace

Ah.  The link you posted goes to the first video on a playlist of 26 videos - no pipes.

 

I assume you wanted this one (video 7/26) :

Except

1. Canalplan don't have any recent data for boats, and

2. Some boats are deliberately excluded from the boat listing for a variety of reasons.

 

We're still waiting for an updated list from C&RT

 

We don't exclude any boat from our listing - we show everything that we've got. We even retain old details so you can actually look up a scrapped plate or find out the history of a plate.

I wasn't doubting it - doing a licence check for 63095 shows it is unlicensed.

 

But with regard to checking on CanalPlan we should remember that it is only as good as the information provided to it - my boat was showing as 'last updated in 2013'.

You can request to have your details removed under some 'privacy laws'.

Oh really?

There was a thread about this a couple (or more) years ago - in which you partook.

You explained that details could not be removed, but eventually conceded that folks could request the removal if they so wished.

There was a jumped up idiot on the Thames tried to get his removed by court action - he failed - he could request it to be removed politely though.

Understood.  I wasn't trying to suggest that you edit the boat details, but the navigation authorities do restrict what they send.

 

There are boats not present in the dataset though.  Try mine!

Extended family can get so messy - If You Keep Standing On Them !!!

 

:giggles:

I am sorry it has taken so long to respond but I and my extended family have been so busy staying out of the way of folk trampling us and trying to catch us that we are a trifle tired at the moment. We will be back running round the hillsides shortly and don't believe all this talk of us being genetically modified so that our legs lengthen and shorten depending on which way round the hill we are running. It is all lies!!!

Sounds like you are standing on your dignity :giggles: . Meanwhile, we occasionally see a busker playing the pipes in Derby city centre, presumably one Bonny Prince Charlie left behind?
