jollymoggy Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes I buy from trade boats and run my own Keeping business on the cut as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boat22 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 We also support Warren and Phil or Jules on the coal boats. Great to see boats trading, artists on the canals a floating troupe of artists are cruising down the South East this summer and look to have some lovely pop up shops. I'm also new to trading on the water, with my business licence just recently being approved. Have joined the roving canal traders association and looking forward to meeting other traders at events, festivals and markets in the summer.

Competitive prices and delivered directly to the roof of the boat. The convenience of it is brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharl Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I bought from the Record Shop Boat last year at the Cropredy Festival, hope he is thriving and still trading. We shared Buckby Flight with him going South last August, had a great chat as we worked the locks down together! Didn't get opportunity to buy from him then however. There is a floating Hairdressers on the K&A that has seen our (well Mrs Dharl's) business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer2911 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I bought from the Record Shop Boat last year at the Cropredy Festival, hope he is thriving and still trading. I saw him at Cropredy too, but earlier this month he was trading at Norbury Festival - I bought a Tom Jones record fret-sawed into a fantastic Welsh Dragon. Nice fella to talk to.

mattlad Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Bought a mug from a pottery boat a couple of years ago. And some cheese off a errrrrr...... cheese boat! When I say "cheese boat" I don't mean the boat was made of cheese, it was made of typical materials that boats are often made of. As was the pottery boat. Made of boaty stuff. Not pots. Imagine a boat made of pots banging into a lock, it would smash! Or a boat made of cheese...... It would get eaten, or go mouldy or probably just disintegrate...... Or something...... I suppose if the potter and the cheese boat people got together they make pots for cheese. I'm in a hole. I'll stop digging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
