I wonder how many boaters are in marinas due to carts bullying tactics.bet there'd be non if ppl wasn't bullied I lived on a BW towpath mooring in my widebeam for 3 years and loved it but with my narrowboat, I've moved onto a marina for ease having a full time job! I do move up the branch to Burscough from march to October tho when the sun shines! On the light or dark side down the branch?

I realise you shouldn't as you are within the law, but I'd got the impression CRT were prodding any and everyone to move about.

A week in the centre or at parbold or whatever... it's normally quite lax really

Now there are quite a few vacancies. So that doesn't really fit with your theory. They were emptying not that long ago, until crt started promoting them 😂😂😂. His theory is not that far off.

I'm the sort of chap that annoys people by getting away with murder. There are many ways to present the exact same life outwardly. For instance, when I arrive or accidentally overstay in my shiney scumbled boat, quietly get a bit pissed or stoned, I predict nobody much will notice and they'll be pleasant about it. I'll pretend to be posh, it's easy. Or, I could have a Mohican or dreads, a dog on a string, insist on smoking skunk in your face and paint the boat with red oxide, refuse to tick the meaningless tick box of servitude. I'd be like citizen smith, proclaiming my distaste and separateness from society or whatever, but I don't feel the need when I can behave worse in disguise. If needs be. I know what you mean. I just tend to be a little bit anarchic and display my out of date licence.

what happened to the thunderboat window stickers? Traitor. I mean we have two IWA stickers to give away, we don't have them in OUR windows. Then people would think we're some cunts from Tonbridge Wells or something. Would you like me to post them to you kris? Thunderboat ads already packed for our next trip, hoping to slap them up wherever I can - as we're on the Llangollen Canal there's a fair chance they'll get noticed. I wonder if I should make up some ads which say 'The IWA supports Thunderboat.net' ??!! We've got our Thunderboat stickers up. I wonder if Kris has.

Not sure what to say but be careful with your boat. I was known to live on my boat for long time. So cart had to take me too court. But I've known cart to take boats wen someone was sleeping on his

The type of people who like to fuss and be intolerant are not likely to be the grunge punk anarchist loving section of society. And also people see what they want to see, not what's there.

Yes, I finally got it! Before that I thought you were some lady called Nora Trace. I had to keep checking your gender indicator to remind me that you are a bloke!
