I got sucked into fluorescent lamps when I should have said UV lamps for detecting holes in condenser tubes.

I've used fluorescein at sea in a previous life to find leaks in condensers on steam turbines. Used in conjunction with fluorescent lamps (as stated by IanD).

Or neither of those two options, but a trip to Chester or along the Middlewich branch?

Yes, I believe so. He’s back on YouTube at present with season 10, going down the S. Oxford.

Yes, it is! Well I knew it began with a K!

That’s Keith, known as Country House Gent, his site is Travels by Narrowboat.

One of our previous owners had a share in our boat and also a share in another. He used to enjoy our AGMs as we rattled through the agenda in good time, but then dreaded the other one as it used to get bogged down in the most trivial of items.

Yes the Black Prince base is further towards Worcester, in fact, it’s beyond the bottom of the Tardebigge flight, so lots of locks to get to Brum.

The Anglo Welsh base at Tardebigge is at the top of the flight, so lock free into Birmingham.

Our shared owners boat is reverse layout, ie from the rear-galley, dinette, bathroom, fixed double, lounge with en-suite. This suited us when our son and daughter came with us as it allowed three distinct sleeping areas each with access to a WC at night without disturbing anybody.

Black Friday offer?

If I remember correctly, Hexagon narrowboats were/are built in Poland. Before they went bust, Ownerships had some Polish built narrowboats, possibly by Hexagon?

Extra zero on your figures Mr Hound! There’s only 8,760 hours in a year! The Beta 43 which replaced the BMC referenced above, was fitted in 2014 and is just approaching 10,000 hours. It’s running well, and has been regularly serviced.

The designated licence holder is actually away on board at present. And I thought this was a forum, not Facebook? This forum is a far better source of canal related info than F/B.
