  5. Agreed. Silence implies consent, but the same regulation specifically states inconsiderate behaviour is an offence. So running an engine when you know it is annoying a householder is contrary to the T&Cs. So this attitude of 'stuff 'em all, I can run my engine in the daytime as much as I like', is not OK.

  7. I suggest fitting the cheapest bow thruster you can find, which will please the trustees. Then when (not if) random and untrained users burn it out, not too much money will have been wasted. The consequential benefit is steerers will then figure out how to steer a boat without relying on a BT.

  12. Really, really, really off topic (what's happened to the 'Off Topic' emoticon?) The train driver and the guard, if there is one, are likely to be members of a trade union doing a proper job. I fear the same cannot be said of the Uber driver.

  13. I did similar with coarse glass fibre mat & resin when I was 'repairing' a mate's chassis to get it through the MOT (well, it was the 70's!). I had shoulder length hair and tried to put a comb through it... the comb got stuck too!

  15. I don't mind you disliking posts. But which posts in particular do your comments refer to? Or have I been singled out for veiled attack on my integrity? If your post is meant to direct readers attention to me I find your clause 3 - with a subjective view implying I know little about the subject and unable to explain my point, is quite unwarranted. A personal attack dilutes the value of what might be a valid point to your argument. If it was my post your are attacking - you have made no technical point that causes me to edit my post. I stand by everything I have said.

  19. No-one knows. That's what they built the super computer called The Earth for - to work out the question. We are due to find out the question in about two millenia IIRC...

  24. I agree 100% it's up there with the National Trust, Ordnance Survey, and of course the canal system ie things the rest of the world are green with envy about. But I still think most of us use R4 as what psychologists call security or comfort zones eg I have no interest at all in gardening but I have to listen to GQT and get very upset if I miss it. Same with the Archers I haven't the faintest idea who anyone is even though I've been listening to it for over 30 years. I have latched onto the storyline about women and the cricket team but only because it is laughably ridiculous.

  28. Beware of using disposable nappies. If left wet for any length of time they tend to fall apart and dump a pile if gel granules in the bilge. I would not leave any down for more than just overnight. Even they you may find that you have to be a bit gentle with them. I have had two fail like this in the engine tray.

  29. Oh heck - that's a rather bleak picture! Glad to hear you survived though, and I hope the combined resources are able to get you on your way very soon. Good luck! ETA - your mooring lines are untidy and your cabin shaft is incorrectly stowed. You can't come on here with a name like that and miss these details. Now, whilst you're waiting for Thunderbird 2 to pitch up, take a bit of Brasso and some elbow grease to that mushroom vent!

  33. We had the same problem at Stockton heath..the guy was really nice about it and explained that for whatever reason the noise travelled and the noise in the house sounded as if I was running the engine in his house. He even asked me to come ànd listen. It was awful and I could understand him wanting the engine off. But to be fair he told me when he was off out and suggested that would be a good time to use it.

  35. exactly, or make up your own by sticking some thicker foam of your choice with spray carpet adhesive, followed by faux leather vinyl headlining material.

  36. A classic example of the "I know my rights" brigade behaving in a way that can only result in more rules and restrictions which will affect everyone who plays fair. The CRT Terms and Conditions do not allow you to run your engine between 8 am and 8 pm when moored, regardless of the impact on anybody else. What the licence terms do say is that you may not run any electricity generator, including your boat's engine, between 8pm and 8am except where you are out of earshot of other people. It is a big leap to assume from this that outside the hours of 8pm to 8am you are allowed to annoy anybody within earshot. In particular the terms also require you to behave considerately towards others (boaters and non-boaters alike) and not do anything which will cause damage or nuisance to any other person or their property.
