I have said it on numerous occasions that I enjoyed his contributions. The fact that I am a cunt is not something I personally chose. I would much prefer not to be a cunt. I also prefer if someone tells me I am a cunt rather than beating about the bush. It's so much more straightforward that way as the woman has managed to work out and hopefully the children will get there at some point ! I am mortified but not remotely surprised that bargemast would single me out as one of the reasons for him stopping posting. Perhaps putting a line in the signature "I only want to see pictures of boats" would be worthwhile. ?

I for one Peter am sorry that you have moved away from this site. I always enjoyed your posts especially your posts of commercial barging on the continent. Whatever comes I hope you stay well and happy. all the very best mate and thanks for all the things I have learned from you .... John For me the reason of a forum is to exchange knowledge and experiences between members, and that's something that was missing more and more. No hard feelings, Peter.

Perhaps you could put up a line in your signature : "I don't do what I say I will do", that would avoid believers in the word waiting for stuff that won't happen. BTW it's surely not entirely your fault that you are who you are (or have become). No hard feelings, just live the life that makes you happy and that satisfies you.

I am just pleased to read that you are still here in the land of the living ..I always worry when posters just stop that they've RIP and although its a forum, there are many folks on here I consider to be my friends. Its all of us choices whether to post and what to post. Take care x

How is the mooring? The one you were having problems getting the authorities to certify was safe even in a biblical flood... Always hoped you managed to get that settled in your favour.

The mooring has been approved, it has cost me an arm, a leg and half a kidney, an official expert stamped and signed that my mooring will resist an extreme flooding like there has been in 1910. I couldn't afford to do the same for my small barge 30 km away from here, and sold the boat to avoid more problems with VNF (the equivalent of C&RT).

I will pass on everyone best wishes, I don’t think we’ve lost him, just that he doesn’t want to contribute all the time. This is probably a good posting to say what I really don't like of some of the forum members, whitout saying that they have to change what they're doing, or not doing. Of course, it easier not to do what you said you were going to do, than do it in reality. It's maybe not fair from me to complain about this, as it's only a bit more than 5 months ago that this was written, but it was disappointed to read this, while never having received the mail with everyones best wishes. I know that it takes time to write just a few lines, and there were other more urgent things needed to be done, not to worry. The reason that I didn't like what I was reading is probably more because I always do, and always have done what I promised to everyone, and expect more or less that other people are the same. There are plenty of other non kept promises by other members, of which to name just one is of one of the top (or quite likely "The Top) -posters, who promised to take and post photo's of an old barge that he saw regularly on his cruises, the sistership of "Lake" that several members were interested in, but he never did, because there was a guy with tattoos moored alongside, and that scared him off. A while ago there was another promise, when he wrote that as soon as the Thames wasn't flooding anymore, he would take and post some photo's of a L & L Shortboat the A-39 that was tied up at a boatyard right opposite on where he was moored, of course this never happened either. Nobody will force anyone to say things, and/or make promises, about things you don't want to do, it's so much easier not saying anything, and maybe then surprise with the posting of these pictures. Something else that I really don't like is the lack of compassion for problems that some people can have, like the lack of money. I'm not jealous, when I was young I started with next to nothing, I worked very hard and became fairly wealthy, due to circumstances, mainly stupidity having too much trust in other people, I almost lost everything, and I've gone through some very rough periods in my life, so because of that it's very easy for me to understand how difficult life can be if you're struggling to get by. If one never had the experience of how difficult life can be because you've never had the misfortune of having a serious lack of money, to be able to do repairs on your boat, because you haven't got the money to buy the needed parts to do so, and in your mind people like that shouldn't own a boat. One top-poster that's not appreciated is the specialist in "copy and paste" and racist postings, which ofter are a nuissance, but he makes very good and much appreciated photographs, and has a very good hard and is willing to help anyone if he can, like offering the use of his boat to Tony Dunkley, which really is a proof of his kindness. Many of the posters about Tony Dunkley's problems with C&RT seem to (almost ?) give satisfaction to quite a few of the posters, which is very sad to see. These are a few of the reason why I haven't felt the need to read, and/or post anymore, I maybe a bit (read very) limited in my interest in many of the other threads, as my passion and my life has been involved with barges and boats, and I'm not interested in the different kinds of beer and heavier stuff to drink, which is not the fault of this forum but entirely my own. ATB anyway, Peter. How the heck do I keep missing to important posts? I hope it’s not because I have become vapid and vacuous 🤦🏼♂️ To be fair I have given up with some on here - sadly @loddon advice of using the ignore/block feature does makes for a better forum; Wide scale censorship isn’t the answer, but personal filtration of the wheat from the chaff doesn’t half make for a better experience on here 👍

But sorry my mistake and I hope you won’t hold it against me for ever. I’m one of the people on he who miss you contributions. I’m glad to here that your troubles over your mooring are sorted and hope you can now have a peaceful life.

Hello Kris, to refresh your memory, our last email conversation was february 29, and your message here was june 12, so not exactly just about the time we had an email conversation. Don't worry however, I won't hold it against you forever, as that sound a bit long, and it's behind me now that I've written about it. ATB with you and Medlock, Peter.

As I say peter, I’m sorry if I’ve caused you upset that would never be my intention. I’m just a human being, trying to make my way through life the best I can. But i definitely make mistakes and as you can tell my memory is getting worse. I’m working all the hours I can at the moment. (In fact I’ve got to go and work another 12hr night shift soon.) In the hope that I can get medlock out of the water next year and do all the repairs on the hull that it needs. So I have very little time at the moment for posting on here.
