Roumors that it’s been found in Glouster painted white.

In the last three months while we’ve been out and filled up a few times, we’ve seen alsorts of demands and scams. a lot of hire boat places insist on 60/40 split, keep moving on. we got stung at Abingdon, filled in the declaration form, declared 40/60 and later realised we’d been charged 100 propulsion, not just us a few other boats have the same story. I wonder what the tax man is told ? we also filled up and declared 20% (making up for the previous scam) but no boat or personal details taken. other yards play by the book and allow you to declare what you want, comments made not 0% as you don’t moor here, which is a fair comment.

The batteries are fully sealed and no water will get into them in a flood. If they were not sealed they’d fill up with water just driving though rain.

Hmm…. now sure their system is that intelligent, a few years ago we had a notice saying we hadn’t moved for three weeks as we were spotted in the same vacinity. We’d travelled over 50 miles, been recorded through 4 or 5 locks, just happened to be pointing the other way on our way home. Not so sure that’s totally true, all employees and volunteers have to log onto the cart system to enter hours, so why not at tat point enter logs ? Also why bother taking the logs if they’re going to do nothing with them ? just raising the question.

It is a pretty poor system, in 18 months we’ve been logged twice in our Marina and once on the Severn. i recon we’ve had our number taken at locks, ride by loggers and walking loggers dozens of times in that same period. so I guess the question is why waste the time and money doing it if they’re not going to record it, or the bigger question are there two sighting systems, one public and one private ?

Absolutely, even allowing for the thinks Mike mentioned is still way over the top

Exactly, but sorry you maths is wrong. £50 x 8 = £400 £400 x 4 = £1,600 £1,600 x 5days x 4weeks = £32,000 but still where has the £68,000 gone ?

£100K for that repair seems way over the top, the stonework was all reclaimed, so it was predominantly labour costs.

We went up all the way July last year, weedy but we did it.

Me too Someone is going to be in deep trouble about the pram hood getting wiped out in Factory locks 😂

I was told and have done set it to about half the cut off pressure, worked well for me.

We have an Evo model which connected via WBus to the useless Webasto controller, it is now controlled by a Nest unit via a relay.

We last stopped there June 22 and had a really decent pub meal, nothing fancy but well cooked.

Totally unnecessary duplication, just why ?
