  1. I take my bw key with me wherever I go, by boat, car, bike or shank's pony. Do I also need a pair of swinging cork balls to avoid interrogation by the poopee patrol? I also have a radar key, being a gentleman of a certain age, when I gotta go, I gotta go. Personally I have no issue with anyone using the facilities as long as they leave them clean and tidy. The extra flush is hardly likely to wear out the porcelain. Imho any horrendously clarted up facilities I've encountered have been caused by careless boaters.
  2. BTW, it was a joke! Stony ground?
  3. Probably a typo😉 As for the latter pair, one is weasily distinguished, t'other stoatally different .
  4. Judicious use of sharp knife on a plastic milk bottle creates a handy container with handle. The older the gentleman the bigger the required milk bottle!
  5. Interesting perspective on the issue from New Civil Engineer https://share.google/q79I4T0UfNUYKw4xP
  6. We had no trouble at all going in and out.
  7. The dock is no longer managed by calderdale, it went out to tender, the company is on that price list. Last time I used it it was around. £350 per week. Probably pre COVID.
  8. Of course it was only ever a Short Arm. It's in Yorkshire tha' knows.
  9. On the LnL near Chorley. https://www.lep.co.uk/news/emergency-incident/man-suffers-horror-leg-injury-after-jumping-into-canal-to-save-dog-5142793?fbclid=IwY2xjawKetC5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlm633QC9VzNuU1OQmP-23TmfvCRx0Gx5y5YKOBajU2f6pchV90fJzX-x_sk_aem_WKmsTNuyCU6b8gXAV9W91A
  10. A lick of contract white Matt emulsion, sell it down that there londonland for a few paving stones , there's your annuity!
  11. skipped 8 pages, might read it on the train later, The NBTA will know, try their FB page.
  12. Hmm usual pointless arguements and nit picking pedantry, 1st post clearly said cat was in basket when taken. Get a grip. Hope the cat turns up. Dons tin hat. Should I have put an apostrophe in there somewhere?
  13. What if they are all placed in vertically?
