Har har har! Enjoy your Canal Rage down there in the Midlands! It's so quiet up here, and people are genuinely nice too. I think, after our 5 years exploring the South, we'll come back up here. We're often away between 4am-6am but of course it's a gentle shove in silence and sneak past everyone. Canals at their best early morning and late evening. We might do some night-driving after we leave Barnoldswick just for fun. We are coming up that way this summer so watch out, we will be leaving a trail of rage behind us, a bit like a snail on heat. Let me know when you're in or around Burscough area on ya way to Liverpool and I'll take you out for a beer if you fancy! 🍻

Well that first post was certainly a great piece of fiction, and you've been stringing it along since in the hope of catching some flounders. Nice try on intolerance and indignation, even adding the odd fascist comment. I reckon I claim the prize and so will ride off into the horizon along with my no name status. No my OP was all entirely true. My “take” on it of course. But I’ve certainly caught a flounder in you. Telling me I’m a liar without having the slightest idea whether what I say was a fair representation or not. Another ugly.

That is something that used to make me boil ....... moor up for the evening, feet up, glass of vino, dinner warming nicely. miles from anywhere and anyone and lo and behold, just as dinner is ready some b****** rocks up and moors right next to you ...... why? there's sodding miles of empty and he stops next to you ..... B******* Later on, 2 further boats joined the line. I got chatting with the chap on the first boat, perfectly pleasant but he hinted at this phenomena - "Phenomena" is plural. The word you are looking for is "phenomenon". I thought you went to a proper school?

We don’t tend to piss about, we’ve got 10 days to get from Fazeley to Liverpool. But yes, up for that.

Anyway, since you were very cheery, I’ll upgrade you from ugly to bad.

Mr Stabby's boat is in actual fact named after a woman.

I'm deeply hurt and upset by that. I'm going to mount my Sea Searcher magnet on the side of my boat so when you come past, all your rivets jump off. How fortunate then that we don’t have any rivets. I know what you meant but I saw one of S&M Hudson's earlier boats the other day. Its called Prosper. One of the ones with no washers on it just a plain honest welded narrow boat. The front looks a bit silly as do almost all of them but there was a time when these adornments were not viewed as necessary. Another one was Isabelle.

Washers or not is nothing to do with age, plenty of his new boats don’t have them. They were an optional extra, a bit like the trim level in a car. Along with other stuff like recessed rear panels, plank-look rear bulkhead, anser pins and grooving around the bits that would have been wood (cants) to make them look separate. All part of the decoration in the same way that people have multicoloured paint jobs, not just uniform matt black or whatever.

I reckon rivets became more popular towards the end. Not the end of the boat the end of Hudson.

I can’t say I’ve noticed a trend one way or the other. But there is a degree of copying - we copied our paint scheme in part from an earlier boat “Stanley” in build when we visited the yard. It had the charcoal grey sides like ours. Our scheme had red back panels instead of all grey. Since then I’ve seen several newer Hudsons with near identical paint schemes to ours. So maybe it goes in cycles.
