Wullie - - hey - there's no need for apologies.

 

Welcome to the forum, please read up all the information that's on here, and join in the chat.

 

IF you get a chance, and are anywhere near any of the (almost spontaneous) 'Banters' (where members get together for a chat, exchange stories, information - and, sometimes drink) you'll be made most welcome

thanks for your kind comments,i am looking to come down to the Crick show,would like the opportunity tomeet up with few people to have a chat and have a look at o few boats

Whilst we won't be at Crick this year - - it's a racing certainty that some Forum members will be.....

 

 

 

Have a look at the 'Banters' threads and see if anyone has yet organised anything - or organise one yourself.

 

(NB - the Beer Tent has been known to be a favoured meeting place)

sounds like a good place to me.cheers.gif

How can you tell it is a CC license?

The prefix in the licence number is BW for CCers (well ours is anyway). As I understand it if you have a mooring the prefix will be the canal you're moored on, eg GU

Who cares wether someone on another boat has a mooring or is a continous cruiser, lifes too short to be bloody bothered.

 

ps, i have no mooring, a house, 2 cars, a wife and we both work fulltime, a motorhome, and no it doesnt mean i dodge paying a mooring or paying council tax, people need to mind their own business and live their own lives and stop judging people.

 

I also live on the boat fulltime and have never claimed a penny in benefits.

 

To save you looking my licence starts with gu.

 

RFLMAO.

i am not intrested in anything to do with other boaters, i was just trying to find what true feelings, i want to do this as MY way of life and want/need to know all the in and outs, i feel it is all been a big mistake, just going with other forums i have looked at and thought i had found a good site but not so sure now, sorry for any upset i have caused you i am not saying anything wrong/bad about you or your fellow boaters.

I wasnt having a go, my suggestion would be dont worry about a mooring, get one hired for a week to get a feel for the size you can handle, then if you still want one go looking at brokers, buy the canal magazines from wh smiths and get looking, and enjoy.

No need to keep apologising!!

Many of us live differently on our boats, and most are accepting of each others ways.

For example, I have a year round mooring...I just don't use it because I don't like to be in a single spot, so we wander around locally because of my work requirements, but never use the mooring. I have it because I have to have it.

I dread them coming up with a "you have to use your mooring x days in a year" rule...then I will spit my dummy!! :D

 

If you are looking for a newbuild by the way........have you considered us??? ;)

I've learnt something today!

it explains why they put cc on me license then,

they still think I still have a home mooring on the Coventry Canal

I think you may be taking all the replies on this thread as a direct reply to your first post. Don't worry, they're not and normally a post at the bottom is in response to the post above it, not your original one. If it isn't, people normally quote the post they're responding to.

 

Anyway, as others have said, I'm sure you can make do with either a leisure mooring or at least a winter one :)
