Try this one in the mix What if you have to have an operation (say for instance new Hip Joint) there is the time in hospital, recovery period, physio, checks ups. This could take a few months of overstay near to a hospital (Hot Spot) be cause you are going to need hard surface to use a wheelchair then to start walking on). Pensioners do not always receive £200 per week to pay for overstay fees so what will BW do then move your boat to another neighbourhood for 7 days and back for your next appointment at the hospital ? What about in a harsh winter and you are still prepared to move about (break ice if you can) are BW going to add an overstay charge to your next licence fee without telling you ? If BW disrupt your journey with repairs and works will they give you a discount or again add fees for overstay ? Interesting thoughts dont you think /??? Maggie

How about GTTP - Gone to the Pub

Thanks Everyone for your input. Just for the curious - I was a member of canalworld discussion forum for some time and gained very useful advice as well as joining in the fun of the chats, but after several changes of email address for one reason or the other and life in general have not been contributing for some time so could not get my old user name back and now being an opey dopey could not remember the password I had and it would have been sent to an email address I no longer have access tooo All a bit technical I know but well although I am logged as a new member I am not really so hope that stops anyone thinking I am a spy or something....
