Sonny?

You have agreed that cart can pass details to anyone who asks, in the new T&C's.

There more of them round here than you can shake a stick at. The local youth set fire to the top floor of this one about a year back. It will deteriorate quicker now with no roof.

No, far closer to home. While there may be a little artistic licence in the reflections, the rest is accurate, done by my better half. (Though I put the numbers on the canvas for her! Jim ducks and runs for cover).

Moving boat every 2 weeks but not living aboard
Jim Riley replied to Wakes's topic in General Boating
We've not been back to our mooring since christmas, lock mending prevented our initial return, then booked in dry dock, then some trips. It's been lurking about 5 - 10 miles away since, despite moving far enough for the "terms and conditions" I've had a couple of emails about "being in a general area too long", but that was sorted with an email and phone call (which put me through to the famous Debbie Figgy in Leeds). If you have Worcester windows you can get 3mm ali plates cut to replace the glass, I ordered rectangular pieces off tinternet and rounded the bottom corners with a jigsaw. we've used them where we think fit (or unfit, depending how you see it!) I've left it moored on pins, but used double crossed pins, one going through the loop of the other at 45deg. At the moment we are planning to go out east again, so CBA to bring it 20 locks or so up the hill to it's mooring, just to go back down again. -
got a bit of work to do to catch up with the Manchester Pusher!

Mr Norman was grumbling, rightly, IMHO, about the number of badly moored boats slowing progress and the unfriendly treatment doled out to Bargees who travel, nationally, be they owners or hirers, by the static dwellers.
-
Where is that then?
-
How about carrying £40 in pennies, just in case. Is that amount legal tender? Then Sonny would have to lug it back to his car, bank etc. I know it would be a PITA collecting it from the bank, but the satisfaction of handing it over, watching him count it, would outweigh that.

Just go, but have your cheque book ready?

I can't match that! I'd best swan off.

Include a moorng fee in the licence and you can then moor wherever, whenever you want?

It can break an arm with a stern look!
