  1. Well said RichM - if the software would let me I'd award a Greenie

  2. This from 'Your Questions Answered', Boaters' Update 10 Mar 2017: Do I still need to display my licence discs? Yes. This extract from licence Terms & Conditions explains why: ‘It is very important – and a legal requirement – that you display your Licence. Although we don’t need this for licence checking purposes (the index number tells us if the boat is correctly licensed), it demonstrates to other boaters that you are complying with our requirements and not evading your responsibility to contribute to the cost of maintaining the Waterways.' Our boat is licenced so that we can use the waterways legally and in line with CaRT's terms & conditions etc. CaRT know this fact from their licence database. It is a contract between me and CaRT and nothing whatsoever to do with hi viz Hitlers (with or without clipboards), curtain twitchers and others of such ilk. Am I wrong in thinking this?

  4. Yes there will be some voltage ftom residual magnetism, but it cannot exceed the regulated voltage because it must be there all the time since it arises solely from the unvarying iron magnetism not the (regulator varied) field. It would be there regardless of whether the machine was or was not open circuit. How would one control an (nominal 12V) alternator with a minimum o/p voltage of, say, even 20 V due to residual magnetism? N

  6. If only they had put the benches the other way around, facing the towpath, then they could have acted as traffic calming measures for speeding cyclists

  8. I think CART do a good job and have no problems at all with them..............perhaps a little hasty with notices on the odd occasion

  9. I interpret it exactly as I have previously indicated. Nowhere does it mention "happy" etc. It demonstrates to other boaters that you (and hopefully everyone else) are/is complying with the rules, thus making compliance the social norm and thus putting subtle psychological pressure on anyone contemplating not licensing their boat - or rather, hopefully preventing anyone from contemplating not licensing their boat. It seems a simple concept to me, nothing to do with curtain twitching.

  11. Dunno about in Oxford but down here on the K&A there are very few VMs available in winter. CRT flog them all as long term Winter Moorings. Five feckin' months they are full and signed 'Reserved Winter Moorings'. The five months us CCers need them most. Really gets my goat.

  12. I thought better of you than to peddle that nonsense. We have selfish CMers to thank for that, you should have written.

  20. Well I would be a bit crotchety if a noted criminal staved in the door of my boat and waltzed off with my valuables. He should be drummed out of the area and made to atone for his actions.
