I'd say a tatty thirty-year old boat would have to be worth £25,000 tops so I'm guessing at least half of the asking price is because of the mooring, which seems crazy as there is no security of tenure and the mooring owner could kick the buyer off with a couple of month's notice. Also, yes, £600 pcm is crazy, I suppose it's a symptom of the huge imbalance between supply and demand of housing in London. The irony is that if Wanted had his way, he'd quite happily see tens of millions more people here adding to the housing crisis.

We used to go fairly regularly to the smoke when me and Mrs Gazza were first nocking about 18 years ago, I hate the place now. The last two trips have been to see Northampton loose(2013) and Win (2014) at Twickenham, other than that I have no interest in going again. As for living there, I can't imagine anything worse, on land or in a boat. I'm a fecking Hick from Northamptonshire when all said and done, it would utterly do my head in to have to spend more than a day in the place!

Excellent facilities to get class A drugs on the towpath there, and a vibrant multicultural atmosphere ( no one speaks English or is in the country legally ).

That's Norfolk, along with the 20' chickens. Couple of counties to the east I'm afraid I thought that was Swans? Definitely chickens. Alan Partridge: You farmers, you don't like outsiders, do you? You like to stick to your own. Peter Baxendale Thomas: What do you mean by that? Alan Partridge: I've seen the big-eared boys on farms. Peter Baxendale Thomas: Oh, for goodness' sake. Alan Partridge: If you see a lovely field with a family having a picnic, and there's a nice pond in it, you fill in the pond with concrete, you plough the family into the field, you blow up the tree, and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife who's also your brother. Share this quote Alan Partridge: You are a big posh sod with plums in your mouth, and the plums have mutated and they have got beaks. You make pigs smoke. You feed beef burgers to swans. You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going, "Oh why am I so massive?" and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small. Do you deny that? No, I think his silence speaks volumes. Share this quote Alan Partridge: You sound like a James Bond villian. Dr. No... Vocal Cords. Share this quote Alan Partridge: Thank you for being this morning's farmer, Robert Moon. Have you had your breakfast this morning, Robert? Robert Moon: Well, the way things is going, I dunno... Alan Partridge: Can you just answer "yes", for the purposes of a joke? Robert Moon: ...Yes. Alan Partridge: Well, then, you must be a full moon! [pause] Alan Partridge: Hello? Robert Moon: I'm still here. Alan Partridge: I was... I was just making a pun on your name. Robert Moon: Oh. Oh, right. Alan Partridge: Thank you for being this morning's farmer. [hangs up] Alan Partridge: Old Robert a bit slow on the uptake there, dunno what he had for breakfast this morning... Presumably an infected spinal column in a bap
