Will it make the headlines and publicity for the CRT?

Probably. I’m stuck waiting for a lock to be fixed now. Moored up with loads of big plastic cruisers, who are pretending I don’t exist and not speaking even though they are northerners. Must be a special subset of northerner?

They may be nervous about the boxes of partly decomposed shit.

Interesting to observe, there are two distinct groups. There seems to be no love lost between the two. I wonder if they are from different boat clubs? I have noticed the cruisers tend to move in packs.

Did you attempt to engage or just give the 'I am going to rip your heart out and eat it'look?

Did you attempt to engage or just give the 'I am going to rip your heart out and eat it'look? The South Yorkshire boat club lot where alright to be fair. But the strawberry island lot couldn’t have got anymore up their own arses if they’d tried. As I say interesting because they didn’t interact with each other. I save ripping hearts out for those who try to take my boat.

Even though you 'like being up north again', you still have plenty to complain about...

I’d agree about the speeding. Today they turned up last to the lock stoppage but left first, with one of them giving orders to the rest of the boats there. It was quite comical really, but as I say so far up their own arses. When they turned up one of them was talking about hitting a fishing rod. Anyway they just seem to be a subset of the local boaters. Perhaps rog can fill us in about them, being local.

I dont know if Lymm counts as Oop North but I had a funny experience with a boat club there a few years ago when a boat reversed into me in its haste to join the cavalcade - and I received all kinds of abuse because my boat was in all the photos with the Commodore as I happened to he passing their club and got caught in their parade.. Chugged and went into reverse several times so as not to hit the queue (never seen a Bridgewater boat go at that pace further south!) but, thankfully, they all moored up less than a mile along, bbqs and chairs out...
