Note to other posters, you should look up the word “ultracrepidarian“ because it’s his favourite. That is such a long word I had to look it up. I will remember it's meaning 🌚

If it was a voting post I would demand 10 NO votes on the grounds of seniority, I must be the oldest member on here, I hail from the days of stovepipe hats.
What a daft idea!
Those outsized plastic suppositories are not suitable for any canal, take it out Mid Atlantic and scuttle it ASAP.
Is this guy for real or is he a plant? If he calls me DUDE I'll set the dogs on him, its a very insulting form of address. How long before he gets tw*tted on here?

Hopefully we have managed to scare him off. He doesn’t like it when people don’t agree and support him without question.

.................... take it out Mid Atlantic and scuttle it ASAP. no please don't do that. they are unsink-a-bull and will just become plastic waste for the consumption of unwary albatrosses.

Would make a good resting site for migrating birds? Can't think of a better use.
Suppose that's why they sell them off, but where they find clowns daft enough to pay money for them is beyond me.
It saves them having to spend a fortune for environmentally sound disposal I suppose. Pass the pollution on to someone else.

It's better than dude.Dude makes me want to punch something or someone... The other form of address I dislike intensely is 'buddy', which seems prevalent in use on Trade Counters. We moored behind one of these monstrosities on the Thames, just up from Eton Dorney. I wondered what the owners of the mansions opposite thought as they had it in full view from their very expansive gardens.

Ah this topic has touched a nerve in the boating community that is represented here in the sweaty sweary hallowed halls of TB. I know nuffin about Lifeboat conversions but thought I'd join in the conversation(on here u don't need to be an expert to pass an opinion) Firstly..welcome...I do not go over the road so I haven't seen your posts... Secondly...with regards converting any boat it always works out far more expensive than initial guesstimates... There are many unloved disintegrating boats cluttering up our canals try not to add to them....

Can't we do better than reporting what was said on CWDF?

I tried to tell him that else where plus it will take at least three times as long as he thinks. I also listed the things that will need to be added for a reasonable life but apparently I am a troll.
