Good News - the work was finished this afternoon

Its more of a general moan - and a hope that someone might have heard anything about the lock.............

A lock out of order (surely not) - broken since 20th March but because of Covid no work has been done until Monday 6th July. Its not due to open until tomorrow 18:00 (9th July) - yet all the C&RT workers have disappeared. 3 were there first thing this morning and since 11am there isn't even a C&RT van here. Of course can't get any information out of C&RT. (Lock 52, Heathey Close Lock) ?

Still in Cheshire - have you looked at Swanley Marina (Nantwich) - have wintered there for a few years - always helpful

Update - still heard nothing from Castle marinas. Also emailed ABC on Friday (21st) & they haven't responded.

I know that Frouds bridge marina has recently been sold, and a friend told me he saw a poster at Crick from Castle Marinas saying that they had acquired the marina. However Castle Marina's website doesn't mention anything about Frouds Bridge and my emails to them have gone unanswered. Frouds Bridge no longer have a website. Does anyone know whats going on?

I doubt there is anything to stop you emailing the bid of 50%, but would it just get ignored?

It is tresspass to enter someones boat without their permission, however, "A person is not guilty of trespass if he goes onto another's land to protect life or property during an emergency" http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/trespass Climbing onto someones boat to resuce it could be considered an emergency. No idea whose boat it was, but hope he/she was grateful, I know I would be.

As I understood this nominating a phamacy thing - you could only nominate one phamacy, you couldn't keep changing phamacies??

I'm currently on the Thames - doing the Brentford to Reading trip. Stopped Sunday & Monday nights at Windsor - you do have to pay to moor on the Eton bank. Mooring at windsor is £8 per night. Moored at Henley tonight - between 10am-3pm its free, then its £10 for over night - can either pay at parking machines or wait for the guy to come round and knock on. Check the dates for the Henley Regatta and any other events on the Thames, we got caught going through the Magna Carta Pagent around Runnymeade this weekend - great sights, but no where to moor.

Not supported, but did see a "Floating Tattoo Parlour" boat at Cosgrove the other day

Thanks Betty - we are at Fenny Stratford at present ........ will sort something

Any fuel boats operating on the Grand Union, between Leighton Buzzard and Brentford?

Any updates on Hillmorton?

Think you missed my point. The porta potti and the loo are in the same bathroom. it would be impossible to sit on the fixed loo on this boat because it has a full size house washbasin so close to it.
