I'd have thought a narrowboat was far more likely to damage a cruiser than the other way around. Got a link to the blog? Members here aren't they? nbfreespirit?

mark99 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) The bloke must be a nutcase. Sounds like a real nasty one too. Well done to the photographer.

grahamjnewman Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The owner of the plastic boat had been in Braunston earlier last week and caused problems in the Plough. He has been interviewed by the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV32 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) If the guy has no insurance then the boat should be impounded by the police - surely it's criminal damage ? Or is it different on the cut. Edited October 23, 2017 by CV32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo shows what looks to me like trivial damage and actually needs manual annotations so the three tiny dents in the ally frames can be seen! I find myself wondering how many months it would have taken for the victim boat owner to notice had the blogger not told them about the incident.

haggis Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I agree that it doesn't look bad but that may be because of the camera angle. The window frames did look as if an edge had been raised but I couldn't see the paint damage. Haggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just to be clear, I'm not defending the unacceptable behaviour of the plastic cruiser bod, just saying the damage does not look "horrendous" to me and I think the blogger is unnecessarily sensationalising the incident.

I don't think that I would have guessed that meaning, no, but I am indebted to your knowledge of the malodorous recesses of the English language. So is it pronounced "poss" or "pee oh ess"?
