I agree about the car becoming a pain very quickly.

When I was touring the ditches in the yoghurt pot, my van would be parked up for two or three weeks at a time..... I didn't worry about it ..... probably because it looked so tatty the even a desperate thief would think twice about driving it (actually my present car, an Astra estate is a bit similar )

We met a lady who operated a trade boat, who bridge hopped her small tatty car.
She returned to collect it near the Kings Head pub, canal side at Atherstone, to discover the roof had been flattened to the top of the seats by several 'someones' jumping up and down on it.

I'm wondering who it was that tried to nick my Land Rover parked by a bridge near Stafford in about 1998/9.
It was a green hardtop 90 300Tdi reg plate M385CFE if I remember right. Was an amateur as they did not know that brute force was the key to breaking the steering lock. No point buggering about with a screwdriver you have to apply some leverage.

So, if you found out who it was, would you go and fiddle with their eyes with a screwdriver to see if you could prise their brain out?

I am not allowed to do rock climbing type activities as it is too physical but it raises the obvious question.
Does he have high enough personal hygiene standards to meet your terms and conditions ? Have you checked ?

What about this as a way to avoid canal stoppages.
Instruct guests to shower 4 times a day and alter the plumbing so that when they use the shower they get washed down by canal water. A replaceable filter would sort it.
Saves loads of queueueing and/or waiting for idiots to wash their boats at water points and all the water goes back in the canal via the whale gulper.
