Yes, me, my tipple of choice is Perla Mocna (Pearl Strong), a surprisingly tasty 7.6% Polish lager which costs £30 for a case of 24 cans from a convenience store in St John's Road, Coventry, which, in the privacy of our car my boys and I still refer to as "the Paki Shop" despite the contemporary political incorrectness of such a term. We have a friend, lady, who drinks this kind of stuff, she also buys a crate of 24 each week to consume, I do wonder why choose higher strength, is it to drink less and still feel the same buzz, or is it to drink the same and get more pissed? Because I have a toilet which needs to be emptied at regular intervals and see little point is consuming unnecessary water with my alcohol.

I had a friend who selected his alcoholic beverages purely by units/£. He actually drunk quite an interesting selection of ciders and lagers.
When I was a drinker and a bit skint Waitrose did an excellent 6.4% dry cider 5L for £3.99.

Must admit I was rather shocked too.

Does anyone know what to do when there's an obvious area of significantly higher corrosion on the hull, directly below where the sink drains out?

Being serious the best approach to this is to get a holesaw which covers the area of corrosion, jump in the canal and cut out the rotten steel.
Go slow with the drill and let the canal water be a natural coolant/lubricant.

Roger Farrington advised me that this is a regular spot for corrosion, and he regularly needs to do some steel repairs in that area on boats he checks and blacks. He didn't mention any relevance to toilet functions and the kitchen sink however. Surely it would be less hassle to use a hedge bottom, or even the loo than have to remove the pots from the sink ... please tell me the pots ARE removed Rog

My mate (76 years) is very over weight and loves to drink ... not getting drunk ... beer, wine, spirits (particularly whisky) in a social setting ... he really is a 'party animal'. He's just been warned he MUST significantly alter his diet and alcohol intake to avoid diabetes(type two) ... if he can improve these issues he is advised diabetes is still avoidable ... he has six months to turn it around apparently. I'm sure he will ... definitely worth avoiding whatever it takes, even at 76 years. Rog PS I like foxy's choice but usually stick to blended like Bells, Whyte and Mackay etc. as it is cheap and I like drinking whisky Here's how to avoid, ameliorate or perhaps even cure type 2 diabetes: eliminate all forms of carbohydrate and sugar from the diet. If you can't do without bread eat wholemeal. Eat lots of veg but minimise consumption of root vegetables since they have the highest carb content. The good news is that you can still have steak but you have to pass on the chips. Artificial sweeteners are poison.

Yes ... he's on it thanks.
I hope he'll succeed ... selfishly I'd like to have him around for many more years.
Is your advice from personal or professional experience ?
Rog

I may check my stern sides for rust, sometimes when single handing and I need a wee I just set the boat steady and pee over the side, but you always get a dribble land on the side of the boat..
When needing a number two and single handing, set the boat straight and floating in the middle with no movement, then run inside and do the biz, see how far you have moved out of position when you come back up, have been sideways in the canal once, it was a big number two.
Have even made a cup of tea with boat moving, run down put kettle on and get mug and tea bag, run back down when boiled and fill up cup with water, run back down when stewed enough and top up with milk, ditch bag over the side for the fish to suck on.
