I think I'll just flog the ruddy thing anyway - hardly ever can be bothered to lug it out We might be interested if u really want to sell it, send details - Pirkko needs 240v for her hairdryer.

But if u want to get rid of it, we could consider taking it and trying it out. Can always sell it on later. Might be handy for the vacuum cleaner, topping up the batteries, electric drill, etc.

I think CRT should be taken to court for discrimination and the Standedge Tunnel blown up and turned into a cutting.

Not sure if that is the reason as I seem to recall he's got a little vetus in there to be fair.
I hope its not because its a splitter.

It went something like this ...................................... "We don't allow Fibreglass boats" "Why not" "Because they might break down" " Why should it do that, my engine is almost brand new" "Outboards are unreliable" " I have an inboard engine on a conventional shaft drive" "We don't allow petrol" " It's a diesel" "You might sink" " Why should it do that ?" "You might hit something and get a hole" "It is extremely heavily built, was designed for the canals and has heavy steel capped fendering and is tougher than many of the corroding hulks you do allow through" "Fibreglass boats don't fit the profile properly" "mine does, it is narrower beam, lower airdraft, smaller draft and smaller cabin profile than almost all narrowboats" "We don't allow Fibreglass boats" and yet oddly they don't mention anything about not allowing wooden boats through ..... I have often thought of turning up in a little plywood boat and demanding passage as it is not forbidden by their rules

That's rude. I mean disallowing FRP vessels. Would it be worth altering the registration details to say its been wood sheathed?
