Don’t give him answers that he could use to reply😂 Does anyone on here believe anything this muppet says? Is he just confirming what people thought of him🤔

"Boiled linseed", now you tell me. I was using raw linseed. Please ask your friend Alistair to join the forum, he sounds very knowledgably.

It’s all attention seeking, can’t people see it? Really basic questions from a totally clueless person. An old man that can’t do anything, totally incompetent by the sound of things.

I usually find any volunteer assistant causes delays.

AI generated answer...... Oi. You added the word roof. Maybe his new roof boxes.

Aha! So now we know Mr HoHoHo has a wooden narrowboat!!

Same as the Macc canal society days then, thanks, I've never seen a CRT notification about them before. Hopefully it will help things run smoothly rather than cause delays though 🤭

AI suggests the wooden bits, but I wooden know.

I found myself wondering which bit of a narrowboat roof needs three coats of linseed-oil!

Incidentally, I noticed my victron VRM has an AI option now. I wonder if CWDF intend to do so. Could make the forum obsolete.

Why?

I think I will be answering further questions using one of the AI search engines. Have you got a question you would like me to answer?

The main finding of this thread is that it takes the forum collective about 40 minutes to get angry about linseed oil.

Total troll and dillusional idiot, be prepared for more attention seeking questions over the next few weeks, must be mentally inadequate🤔

And that! But to me (like you) asking repeat questions is fine except that in Mr HoHoHo's case he is so critical and dismissive of this forum, describing it as "wretched" yet still choosing to post his questions here first. I find myself wondering why given how smart and clever he is and how much better he says Youtube is. There must be an ulterior motive beyond wating his actual questions answered.

Yes it's a day when local IWA volunteers help boaters through the lock(s) and aim to make people aware of who they are and what they are about in order to try and recruit new members, as well as raising some money through sales of cakes and merchandise. In the midlands IWA Lichfield Branch do this once a year at Barton Lock on the Trent & Mersey Canal (4th August this year)

I used to cancel my L3 mooring every summer and renew in winter. I kept paying the "farmer" throughout to keep the mooring I just didn't pay BW. I would approach cart and ask if you can pay one fee for the two moorings as you can't be on both at the same time. Worth a punt.

Why would you need verification? If you were aware of the risk of leaving the rag(s) in sunlight, the obvious solution is not to do so. QED innit You could try an experiment, and actually leave a rag, two rags, three out in the sun and see what happens.Don't leave them next to your solar panel mount though, or not too close anyway.

@David Floyd passed these moorings the other day on the Staff & Worcs canal, by bridge 101. CaRT moorings about 100m, with sufficient mooring rings, no boats moored there? Can’t see them on your map.

There's nothing wrong with that. Most of the questions can be answered using the search function anyway.

Yes. We've just had the one about self-combusting linseed oil rags. Didn't you see it?!! I do think he's spamming the board now with questions that google could have answered perfectly well.

I think this must be right - the water goes up and down as the soliton wave passes but there's no transfer movement along the channel which might carry a boat along, unlike say the Severn Bore. As I read it, the flyboat movement generated a "wall" of water which continued on its own as the soliton wave when the boat "suddenly" stopped.

Any more newbie basic questions today from the so called experienced boater? You’re confirming everything I thought of you, all talk and totally clueless👍😂

Ofcourse I was aware of the risk, that is clear in the thread title. I was hoping for some verification based on real world experience in the UK. I was unsure how long the risk lasted, now you have pointed out it is an oxidation thing, I know that after the rag has dried out in the wind for a few days the risk has past.
