Well, there will always be some who smoke dope and take the piss. It sort of goes with the territory. And Mr Trayner does come over as a tad conceited. But they are the CURRENT London boaters. A lot of them are very community-orientated and I respect that.

I'm half-laughing at that but I thought the biggest bone of contention was that they don't go further than that of their own accord...

I've monitored the London Boaters facebook thing for a while now. I made a few contributions until Mr Trayner made me sit on the naughty step for a joke at somebody's expense. The London boater fraternity is frequently naive, inexperienced, and some ask the dumbest questions. The problems they encounter are often because of a complete lack of maintenance, and some of the proposed solutions are straight out of the big book of Whack-a-Doodle. There are clearly some amongst them I would characterise as 'fucking cunts'. Others are amazingly selfless when another is in trouble. Lately, one guy sank his boat when he failed to take into account the likelihood of an exceptional tide. He was the first to admit his own stupidity. But so many people rallied round not just to express their sympathy but to lend practical help in re-floating the boat before the next tide, salvaging what could be salvaged, some offering temporary bunk space in their own boat, lending pumps, de-humidifiers, attending to emergency oil-changes, you name it. Its not all bad on the London boating scene. We shouldn't be so quick to condemn. Trayner is a wanksock. The majority of London boaters are piss taking vegitaters. They don't even come close to being representative of the original London boaters. I was banned from the London Boaters Facebook group. It's hard to interact with people who have no interest at all in boating without causing offence. The administrators are even more anal than Daniel from CWDF, and that's saying something. I appreciate that everybody needs somewhere to live and I'm the first person to flag up the housing crisis we have in the UK at the moment, but the vast majority of Facebook London Boaters have no more interest in living on a boat that they would in living in a shed or a skip.

Which now sees them infesting other areas owing to the sheer increase in numbers. I've just come away from that area, I've never seen such congestion. The majority of whom ain't got a clue. Not a week goes by where a boat with a whilton marina sticker goes past heading for.... you guessed it, London. Nearly every boat craned in at Watford turns left for..... you guessed it, London.

I was banned from London Boaters without ever even attempting to join it !
I don't use Facebook for anything on a regular basis but there was something quite interesting on LB a few months ago and I wanted to read comments. So I opened one of my FB accounts and it said "content not available". I was able to get in with another account but quite intrigued that someone had banned me by name despite my account never actually being used.
The only place I have used that particular pseudonym was on this forum...
But the name is not unusual at all. There must be hundreds of people with that name.
And they call it a public group ..

I quite like the LB Facebook group, they seem to be politically aware and not stuck in that post empire idiocy. The post regarding the anti Traveler bill , by Priti Vacant Patel , is a good example as this bill could affect anyone living in a boat or vehicle outside of the Tory state prison.
