I agree with the grumpy old but who started the thread.
I gave up the narrow canals over ten years ago after moving onto my first nb in 1994. Seriously considering leaving CRT water altogether now.
Too many idiots. It must have been all those TV programs that drew them. Why do people need so much electric on a boat?? Its a boat for gods sake.

I have very briefly met Arthur, who's a nice bloke and I definitely sympathise with his views. It was more the point that three years ago they were banning people for saying the system was falling apart and blaming C&RT ... now it's a mainstream opinion on there. Funny how things turn out Rog

You, . . and countless others, Rog. Having expended, and largely wasted, much time and effort during my working lifetime on our inland waterways in attempting to get the blinkered masses to wake up to what was, and still is happening, I've finally come to the conclusion that I might as well not have bothered. Difficult as it was to believe it possible, each successive regime that has taken charge of our waterways since nationalization in 1949 has turned out to be even worse than the last in terms of maintenance, operational improvements and their plans for the future, and now we've finally arrived with what I believe will prove to be the last few nails in the inland waterway's coffin ! As I've said before, . . in the Canal & River Trust, and in the specimens that constitute the so-called Trust's managerial hierarchy, the smugly apathetic boating public has finally got just precisely the sort of 'Navigation Authority' it deserves !

I can accept no 'credit' for recognising the truth ... I was very much late to the party regarding the management. I also remain more optimistic that the system will not totally fail, believing (hoping ?) that these things are cyclical, and a bright future is possible when the C&RT regime is changed. However some days keeping optimistic can be ... we'll leave it at 'challenging' Rog

the smugly apathetic boating public has finally got just precisely the sort of 'Navigation Authority' it deserves ! Same with the UK railways which are now being run by Deutsche Bahn. All profits going to Germany. Officious jobsworth little Hitler ticket inspector on this Cross Country train, gives the impression that if you don't have the correct papers you'll be put on another train to the gas camps.

What a depressing read - I'm glad we got off when we did reading that lot.
Yes it can sometimes be a PITA for us to get where we want to be but when we are there it's generally bliss, quiet with few if any annoying people to disturb that.

Arthur is a bit "do as I say, not as I do".

The last thing this thread needs is any input from a shit-stirring hypocrite such as you ! When I first joined CWDF back in 2014 and opened a topic on how I had been selected by C&RT to be deprived of my boat and home by putting me through their pseudo-legal Section 8 process, I remember you as being one of their loudest and most dedicated apologists. If you really must inflict your obnoxious presence on some boating forum, why don't you go and join in with the rest of the C&RT creeps who are stoically attempting to justify and defend their favourite organization's illegal actions on the CWDF version of the 'Caravan Boat Update' thread ? They're all missing the point with regard to C&RT's dishonest and unlawful actions, and talking through their backsides, . . . should be right up your street !

He's always been a two faced fat c##t. More mouth than a cows fanny, less brain than a sweet pea. His boat was a disgrace when he came to sell it.

That definately deserves quoting and I reckon is post of the month. Remind me how much boating does Martin do?
