  1. This does happen more than is made public. Some are genuine mistakes due to confusing deeds, but regrettably some people are crooks and steal land.
  2. Property law can be a minefield and many boundary issues end in expensive disputes, in some cases serious assault and murder! Boundaries can and may be shown on deeds but with older property boundaries may have changed over the years. If a person/body has been using land (doesn't have to be neighboring land) for 10 or more years, then they can claim 'adverse possession' and ownership of that part of the land they have been using (squatting). If the property is registered at the Land Registry questions of boundary can be resolved, however, Land Registry base their records on deeds and other documents of ownership so any mistakes or boundary changes can be replicated on the Register. When property changes hands law requires it to be registered so eventually all land will be registered. There's no legal requirement for unregistered land not changing ownership to be registered but it would be wise to do so as this makes sales and ownership transfers much easier. If the Land Register has mistakes any appeal has to be lodged at the Lands Tribunal within twelve years to get any corrections considered, note they consider the correction. Only in exceptional circumstances will the Land Tribunal accept an appeal beyond twelve years. The Register will identify ownership but also any rights, right of way, privileges, mortgages and responsibilities on that land. This could be access, the type of access (pedestrian, vehicular, animals etc) running a drain under the land or who maintains the fence for example. These are called 'Charges' and will appear on the Register of that particular property, Charges will not be shown on the Register of any land/owner who enjoys that right etc. Anyone can get copies of registration from the Land Registry for about £3.50. Hope this helps?
  3. I understand Mersey and three other boats were lifted by CRT Sec 8 from the L&L near Burscough.
  4. Depends how much further north. St Mary's Marina and Fettlers Wharf Marina on the Ruffled Branch Leeds Liverpool, literally a stone's throw from rail station with easy links to West coast mainline.
  5. Yep, go for the cheap ones. Don't run them to low, check electrolyte regularly and land line charge if poss. I bought mine from Tanya Batteries eight, yes eight years ago. They still serve my needs and I cruise about three or four hours a day then a couple of days stop over without further charging until I get back to base. Or if on a long cruise I may overnight in marina with hook up to top the batts up. If I got expensive batteries I'd be scared to death of wrecking them.
  6. You've rumbled what I'm building. Seriously it's make my own or redesign. I'll think about it over the weekend. Thanks for the links
  7. It's an extension to a piece of moving artwork, the spec for the ring (metal or hard plastic) is 56mm internal diameter, round profile cross section 3 of 4 mm. Because of the design a 'just about' internal dia won't work with project in its current form. Seems I've learnt the hard way to hear sizes are not an industry standard so I will have to rethink. Thanks for everyone's help
  8. Thanks David and Nomad, link useful but unfortunately no sizes I need. Think I'll have to rethink my project. Cheers
  9. Hope someone can help me out, I am trying without much luck to source metal (preferably polished metal s/s etc) ring with internal diameter 56mm and cross section of say 3 or 4mm. I've done the eBay and Googled but drawn a blank. Help appreciated
  10. Travelling on the Shroppie at Hurleston Junction I noticed. Series of white posts in groups of two, three and four. They on the embankment of the resovoiur dam opposite the main line towpath. Any idea what they are for? Have asked a couple of locals and long-term moorers but no luck. Satisfy my curiosity please.
  11. Handy place to stop to clear prop of local junk
  12. Need a bit of help here, what's the best way to clean cratch flexible windows. Have seen loads of expensive car hood cleaners but is there a simple method?
  13. It's the inconsistency I am complaining about , viz marinas are 'holiday accommodation' for March restrictions but not holiday accommodation for vat relief. BTW I use marinas often for overnight or longer when cruising.
