This point is two x 7.2kwh type 2 sockets, fitted by Rolec Services. Two Clients with Mitsubishi PHEV's have used the charge points so far.

You're incorrect on this occasion Matty40s - We have actually installed two x 32amp points.

http://www.narrowboatworld.com/index.php/leatest/8750-pillings-go-green Really nice of NBW to publish this article for us - Many thanks Tom! We have now had our two fast-charge EV points installed by Rolec Services too so we can also now accommodate owners of Electric Vehicles (Visitors or Berth Holders). Regards Paul

The amount of negative Internet Trolls on it have ensured most of my client base steer well clear of it. My clients often tell me what's been said and how childish/petty/awful/incorrect the comments are. The site host does nothing to manage them factually. Anyone intelligent who wants a good deal on a mooring isn't going to ask people on here about whether they should moor at Pilling's or not - my guess is it's just an excuse to start another new thread that slags us off. Have fun guys! As Oscar Wilde said..."There's only one thing worse than being talked about..." PL Though this site was all about Honesty?

Thanks for making these points guys. People seem to miss the facts that in a year when QMP was forced to pay over £41k a year for an NAA/connection on an under occupied Marina, at the same time CRT was renting the 20 Marinas to BWML inclusive of NAA's for just over £38k per marina per year. (£677k was the figure in their annual accounts). This included Limehouse and many vastly profitable southern marina sites. If the marina pays for a connection then the question is why should a boat that is stored on a mooring have to license? and vice versa. New marinas create a home for more potential license payers to CRT at no investment cost to CRT.

Mike, I can say that not only are we totally paid up with our NAA fees, our Corporate tax, Business rates...and everything else are all up to date. WE ensure all our suppliers are paid in a timely manner and we strive to support new and local small businesses with our custom. I would mention all the new services and features that Our Marina provides for people who like to moor with us, or dine with us, or hire boats with us. But the terms of this particular website seem dead against anything actually being promoted. I did mention on our facebook page last year that our new Hire Boat - that sponsors Cancer Research - made a £335 donation, to which Mr Daniel Hutchinson posted on our facebook page "You should have given the money to CRT..." Needless to say we don't need friends who make comments like that. What is your point Mike with all this incorrect information you seem to have? are you just here to spout Bile about everyone else? you are Jealous of someone being more successful than you or what? Fitting many Boilers lately? Hmmm. I imagine not with that attitude. It is people like you who give the Waterways a bad name. This forum could have been a good website but for internet trolls like you who know nothing, but make out you know everything and have nothing positive to say. It's so heart-warming to know that you are blissfully angry with your own version of events about us, at least it keeps you from slagging off someone else whilst we are in the firing line. Good for you! PL

What was it the judge did last time you tried to take us to court eh Dave? Oh yes, she told you you were ridiculous to carry on with your personal vendetta and awarded us £1500 damages (which you offered to pay at £5 per week being a poor pensioner)Fact. Can't believe you're still so wound up about the fact you had to leave us! Never mind, plenty more paces to moor eh?!

Thanks Alan, nice to see the post isn't just being followed by the usual Internet Trolls who keep playing the same scratched record! Some people seem to really like the sound of their own voice...but have very little of use to contribute. I can't imagine why they seem to be so negative all the time? It's awful that people are dying around then world from nasty diseases, people are caught up in warzones and all the Internet Trolls can do is carry on bitching about something that never affected them. #prioritiesinlife

This is factually incorrect and Slander. The vessel in question had a Tort Notice on it as there was a marina bill of over £1500 outstanding and the owner went AWOL - we even contacted the Police as we assumed he was dead! The vessel had the drive linkage disabled at our request as we had to protect the vessel from any potential theft (keys were in the house where the owner lived and later missing) and also we had a Tort notice to recover our owed money which was considerable. Redwood Collections dealt with this matter formally. The owner eventually re-appeared and paid his outstanding bill in instalments, but payments were never up to scratch. The owner departed the Marina last week (still owing a few hundred quid) - there was still a Tort notice in place and had an unpaid bill. The owner actually couldn't pay the bill and therefore offered us a used Generator as payment which we accepted as it was better than nothing!!! This person quoting this is damaging the reputations of the businesses involved and any post that refers to this matter incorrectly needs to be removed. Thank you Paul Lillie Director, Pilling's Lock Marina pillingsbackoffice@btconnect.com

It's a good job that what you "think" and what is actually happening are two very different things Mike. If this is your understanding of how business works (and how to make a good impression with people on the waterways) I'd hate to have you try and fix one of our boilers! :-)
