Yes I suppose if you just mingle with Hudson owners and other £100,000 boat owners then everything must seem fine. G@T on the back deck anyone. We do mingle with such people, but we do sometimes pretend to be poor and mix with £70,000 boaters who drink such shite as australian wine, vodka etc. But yes, I’d draw the line at mixing with £50,000 boat owners. One does have standards to maintain and they might offer Carling or some other horrific thing. You could mix with 40k boaters and get a tin of boddingtons or if your real lucky some gentleman Jack.

Bloody hell I've got a £100k boat and I'm drinking Excelsior lager from lidl at 50p a can. Oh dear !!
Admittedly it's not a narrow boat.

So no chance of a Special Brew drinking £23,000 boat owner getting an invite to your Christmas party then?

This raises quite an important technical point Did Steve Hudson build any cruiser sterns? I thought they were all trad. It's a bit awkward and slightly risky to have a G&T on the back deck (should be 'stern deck" btw) on a trad style narrow boat. are you looking for another pedantry award?

You have to sit on your boat for a drink in the evening now days, because in most places the days of putting a chair out for a sociable drink have gone. The speeding cyclists have seen to that.

But give it a try by all means. Maybe one of those electric carving knives popular in the 1970s?

And while we're on the subject, what is the point of fake rivets anyway? Surely they are just an affectation?
