  1. Is there anyone moored in a marina being charged for a jetty they don't occupy? For example, a marina with 50 foot jetties allow a 57 foot boat to moor at the jetty and then charge for a 60 foot boat. The reason I ask is that I know of a marina that does this so for a 57' boat the jetty ends 7' before the end of the boat making exit from that end very difficult and for last year that was also about £160 for three foot of water in front of the boat.
  2. Hi John, I can tell you are a "Glass half full type of person" my post was a poor attempt at witticism
  3. I think I would want to modify the question and ask "has it been Summer"
  4. When I need repeat prescriptions I order them online designating the nearest pharmacy to me then go to the pharmacy usually 72 hrs later and pick them up no problem.
  5. All this talk of court action is bad news always even if the court finds in favour of CRT its money wasted that should go to the infrastructure, the National Trust doesn't find itself going to court as often as CRT and their portfolio must be similar in size.
  6. If you were or intended to be a liveaboard boater I wonder if it could argued that agreement to the terms and conditions of the license was made under duress since disagreement would result in denial of said license.

    slow cooker

    When you've got one try these :- http://cooktopcove.com/2016/11/18/7-slow-cooker-potato-recipes-you-wont-be-able-to-get-enough-of/?src=fbfan_57641&t=fbad&k=lgosaen017
  8. Isn't this the APRIL edition of narrowboat world?
  9. I hope they clear out the rubbish before refilling the canal, and before anyone says of course they will, the answer is no if its not in the contract of the contractor doing the work.
  10. £27 and some pence at Coventry
  11. Or if you are a techy perhaps a helmet cam and monitor.
  12. If you have facebook look up Heidi Manning she runs a trade boat selling nick nacks talk to her I'm sure she can put your mind at rest. Personally I can't see any reason why it should make any difference male or female as far as operating the boat is concerned.
  13. In the days when I hired narrowboats I asked the hire company if they had a problem with single handed hire and the answer was no problem, of course if you went on a one day helmsman course you would meet like minded people also embarking on this adventure. I chose fox narrowboats at March which shouldn't be too far from you.
  14. If anyone is in the Dudley area and in need of a top up it might be worth a side trip down to Halesowen I got diesel for 47p/Ltr you chose your split declaration.
