Sad to say I am now skim reading many of Tonys posts.. I have not got the enthusiasm to wade through the constant repetition I wish him well and I hope everything resolves in his favour
I rarely read Foxy's
But everyone else I read....though not the joke thread.

Look your all missing the point, if Tony types in yellow it’s very important. The only thing highlighted in yellow anywhere in this thread is your draft e-mail letter to C&RT dated 14 November 2017 about damage to A41's hull plating and frames, . . the same draft e-mail letter that you won't answer this simple straightforward question about -- " Was it sent in that form, . . or did you send C&RT the advised re-draft I provided you with ?" Here's your draft e-mail, again, . . in yellow italics ( yellow being the colour, and italics being the typeface) : - "kris nadin <krisnadin2002@yahoo.co.uk> Attachments Tue, Nov 14, 2017, 11:19 AM
Hello, My name is Kris nadin my boat is called MEDLOCK index number 76914. I'm writing to you in connection with an incident that happened on the Aire and Calder on 26th-27th of sept just below heck bridge. I was cruising along this stretch on the late afternoon early evening on the 26th sept. I moved over to allow space for a passing boat, where I ran aground on a concrete block about 12ft into the navigation. After unsuccessfully trying to reflate by various methods my friend went and fetched his boat and tried to tow me off. Which was unsuccessful, by this time it had become dark so we stayed overnight in this spot. In the morning we decided to run my anchor chain across the channel and use the anchor winch to winch the boat off. I thought it was best to phone yourselves and inform you of the obstacle to navigation this would cause whilst in progres. After explaining to the lady on the switch board that I didn't want RCR and that she had misunderstood what I was phoning for I talked to graham . Who then said he would send a boat from the yard the other side of the bridge. The boat turned up after trying to tow me off, they then pushed the boat off the block. I'm writing to you as I'm concerned about damage to the plates and framing of my boat. I understand a few boats have run into difficulties on this stretch, which is why you have placed the yellow lolly pops just after the bridge. As can be seen from the photo I've attached the place of this incident was a good 500m from where the yello signs are. I'm wondering if I encounted the problem, because the level was lowered for the work to be carried out at ferry bridge the day before. Kind regards Kris"

Sun's out for how long is anyone's guess. Hope it's long enough to boost the hot water 😎

I feel this raises a very important point.
What colour should one use when one wishes to convey the message that "I really mean this"?
Maybe I have missed something but I don't think this point has been dealt with.

I prefer this, what ever colour it was inputted as, those with a blue background could elucidate. None of @a's suggestions were invisibule. Perhaps naughtyfox could try it. He would get the satisfaction of cnping stuff, we wouldn't see it. Win win!

I guess one day, if the hull is that rotten, the concrete would just fall through the bottom and be another hazard for navigation. At least 10 tons was kris's own estimate of how much concrete he thought he would need to pour under the flooring in the after part of what used to be A41's hold, in the hope that it would stop the leaks through the hull plating. I advised him against doing that because such 'last resort' bodge-up methods never work as hoped, . . and it just makes subsequent inspection, repair or replacement work to the hull plating and frames impossible without chipping all the concrete bodge out first. Having advised him against his plans, I explained, at some length, how he should be going about the job, and gave him permission to do the work at the mooring I was providing him with at Barton. I also offered him FoC ultra-sonic thickness testing of the hull bottom plating to get an accurate picture of the general condition of the hull structure , . . but all this was refused as being pointless because he assumed that the entire hull bottom was thin and weak because there was already some concrete in there. Kris then acquired a mooring elsewhere and never bought A41 back to the Barton mooring again, so I don't know for certain if he followed the advice he'd been given on repairing the damage he'd done on the Aire & Calder back in 2017, or if he just went ahead regardless with his 10(+) ton concrete bodge-up. I always suspected that he ignored the advice he was given on the necessary repairs to his boat, and simply went ahead with his own ill-conceived bodge job, . . and those suspicions were pretty much confirmed when he reacted the way he did to the suggestion I made last year that he should ground A41 on the flood deposited shoal at Barton Island. No harm is ever going to come to a structurally sound ex-commercial iron-built barge grounded on freshly deposited clean level bank of sand and silt. On the other hand, . . an already damaged and weakened vessel with a load of internal concrete dumped over existing leaks grounding in the same circumstances with falling river levels is likely to produce a very different outcome.

So it's sensible not to do it then (grounding the boat).
If you had ended up being responsible for someone doing something like that then you could have been hauled over the coals for it.
In fact some would say you should shot at dawn for such unruly behaviour.
Are you perchance a rebel without a clause?
