  1. Only in Reform majority council areas (apparently)
  2. You cannot say that - apparently there are now 26 legally recognised genders in the UK
  3. Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding, but that reads to a simpleton such as myself, that a (say) 600Ah bank could increase by : 2x 600 = 1200 degrees C per minute. I doubt that is correct so could you show a calculation, as an example, of what that formula means in real life ?
  4. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  5. Considering how much NBTA terminology is used in the report I'd suggest that NBTA called a 3-line whip and a very high percentage of those that answered the questionnaire were non-moving- widebeam-itinerants
  6. Notwithstanding anything in any enactment but subject to subsection (7) below, the Board may refuse a relevant consent in respect of any vessel unless— (a)the applicant for the relevant consent satisfies the Board that the vessel complies with the standards applicable to that vessel; (b)an insurance policy is in force in respect of the vessel and a copy of the policy, or evidence that it exists and is in force, has been produced to the Board; and (c)either— (i)the Board are satisfied that a mooring or other place where the vessel can reasonably be kept and may lawfully be left will be available for the vessel, whether on an inland waterway or elsewhere; or (ii)the applicant for the relevant consent satisfies the Board that the vessel to which the application relates will be used bona fide for navigation throughout the period for which the consent is valid without remaining continuously in any one place for more than 14 days or such longer period as is reasonable in the circumstances. the problem would be that (say) there is a water shortage in Yorkshire so movement is not required, the Baton Twirlers would claim that London should be included or it is discrimination against Southern boaters
  7. Hose pipe ban introduced in Yorkshire and another expected to be announced soon for the North West Yorkshire Water has announced a hosepipe ban following the region's driest and warmest spring on record. It is the first UK hosepipe ban to be brought in this summer, and will come into force on Friday 11 July, just as a third heatwave is forecast this week. Yorkshire Water said the area it covers has experienced both the driest and warmest spring on record this year, having had only 15cm of rainfall between February and June, less than half what is expected in an average year. There are a number of activities which are banned as a result. These include: Watering a garden using a hosepipe, which includes a park, a lawn, a grass verge, an area used for sport, an allotment or any other green space Cleaning your car with a hosepipe Watering plants on domestic or other non-commercial premises Washing a private boat using a hosepipe Filling a domestic swimming pool or paddling pool Drawing water using a hosepipe for domestic recreational use Filling or maintaining a domestic pond Filling or maintaining an ornamental fountain with a hosepipe Who is exempt from the hosepipe ban? Blue badge holders, people listed on Yorkshire Water's priority services register or customers using the WaterSure tariff for medical reasons are exempt from the restrictions.
  8. A 'mooring-neighbours', mooring fees, licence and insurance were paid for by the LA. They would not pay the electricity or BSS examination as they wouldn't do that (or equivalnce) for a house. We were in a 'pukka' marina with residential and leisure moorings and were part of a multi-marina group
  9. If I remember correctly the 250 hour versions had a deeper oil pan and a bigger oil filter than the 100 hour versions.
  10. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  11. OK thanks for understanding - but you do realise that the run length on a 26 foot boat can be 52 feet, but the run length on a 26 foot vehicle is 26 feet - so double the volt drop for the same piece of wire and same load
  12. I am just trying to assist - for example the volt drop in a 26 foot boat could be in excess of twice that in a similar length automotive vehicle. But its your boat you do as you wish.
  13. In wiring small boats to the required standards ? The regulations are very different to cars and caravans.
  14. A boat cannot get that bad in 4 years - it just reinforces my own experiences that the BSS is worthless as a method in improving safety, and is just a way of generating some cash for the old 'retired boaters boys club'.
