Yes,

 

Sadly it's not a spot that our typical timetable allows us to moor overnight at.

 

Shame, because I would if I could!

 

(Actually, I have heard there is more to that sign than not just wanting any boater to moor opposite).

Oh but wouldn't you just want to fire a catapult at the gnomes!...although since they are outside the fence they are BW's Gnomes? ...politically correct ones too

Or just send them a letter, on BW headed notepaper.

 

"Dear Householder,

 

It has been brought to our attention that you have, helpfully, erected a sign to warn boaters of the shallow water opposite your property.

 

Thankyou for your concern. This matter has been noted, and so on the 5th October, as part of our regular winter stoppage programme, this stretch will be dredged. A diesel dredger will be used, and for your convenience we will attempt to adhere to a maximum noise level of 100 dB. Please do be aware that, due to the silted and anaerobic nature of the canal bed, there may be noxious smells during the works.

 

This work is scheduled to take one month.

 

Thankyou again,

 

Squiggle

oo, Id do it but Grissom would track down my DNA from the envelope lick, and find my computer from the keyboard strokes..... and then BW would make me look after the headless gnomes for the rest of my life!

 

........I watch way too much tv!

We tried to make use of the shallow depth here to try and get our rudder back into the skeg. One very cold spring Strads stripped down to his undies and slipped into the water to try re site the rudder. I was sure someone would come out and tell us to go away but no one did!

Alan told us there was moor to it... They want to save the mooring for next time you're passing don't they... Beware the frogmen!
