Why don't people just steer round the bloody things? Mattresses I mean, not sheep's eyes. They don't float- they lurk unseen at the bottom of the cut. Even if it was possible to see one on the canal bed from the steering position under normal circumstances, the amount of surface weed at the moment would prevent any chance of that. A boater I moored up next to yesterday picked up a builder's bulk bag on the prop (which broke his shear pin) for the exact same reason.

Incidentally, the same boater (who had come from the Stort) told me that somebody is placing home-made booby traps in the cut near Alperton which consist of a length of car seat-belt webbing, weighted in some way, onto which are tied lengths of string with floats attached and which are designed to foul boat propellers, and he picked up one of these on his trip as well.

There are some horrible people about... As for sheep eyes..nah..not for me..they rank up there with snails, frogs legs and Moroccan delicacies

the thread Rog originally put up. there was an allegation against Nick. saying he has bullied, trolled and upset a poster. but they won't put up any posts in support. so there is no evidence. They are really good at unfounded accusations over there . Someone claimed a load of new members were trolling sock puppets who had previously been banned but when I suggested be name them the response was "only by Pm Feel sorry for the new members Phil

I felt sure from your many comments you'd be inviting a homeless person on board whilst you were away.

Did you settle on a marina?
I recall you were looking at Hatherton and Otherton.

Maybe if you're lucky you'll meet him later in the year at a truck stop on the M6.

If you didn't see that difference, may I suggest you visit a Specsaver store and invest in some decent glasses, before you set yourself behind the wheel of an HGV again .
