  2. Horrific case from a few years ago - worst I've heard of: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/154575.stm JOTW
  3. Couldn't agree more. I think it's the anticipation aspect of steering a boat that has made me a better car driver. When tootling down a canal or river, I find myself trying to imagine how I'm going to negotiate that piece of water, make this manœuvre or avoid those idiots over there. When this type of driving is applied to road traffic the benefits are self evident as far as I can see. Car drivers making better boat steerers? - can't see the logic really. JOTW

  6. Who mentioned going in reverse? JOTW
  7. .... don't have the Cornish pastie. JOTW ps.Jill Wrigglefingers mentioned the banter possibilities down her neck of the woods. Sounded good, but would enough people be prepared to travel?

  9. My boat is a '92 Mike Heywood (not certain who fitted it out, but I seem to remember Bones quite liked it - it's kinda dark for my taste, but that will be changed when I can stand it no longer). Steel is 10:6:4 and still in very good nick. The standard of welding is exceptional on the bits you can see, although take note of what the surveyor says about what lies beneath. Nothing exceptionally tragic down there, just not as classy as the visible bits. JOTW ps. The signage still reads "Tomorrow" "Hoo Mill" which I liked and saw no reason to change.
  10. Bit of a problem this, since trying to work out who has the best coverage is akin to trying to knit fog. Masts pop up all over the place and providers' coverage changes constantly. My own experience is only with Vodafone and T-mobile in the South of England - T-mobile wins by a mile today, but who knows what the situation will be next week/month/year? JOTW
  11. ... and we all know what the internet's for, don't we? JOTW
  12. Brilliant post Cugsey; seriously brought tears to my eyes! I think you've just encapsulated why I do what I do. JOTW ps. and Malc of course; can't forget Malc.
