As for wooden craft do they actually ever "get finished"?

Erm ... TD hasn't got a boat ... maybe that's why he's fixated on kris 's Rog The awful modern apology for a boat that was stolen by C&RT last year, "Halcyon Daze", was simply a stop-gap solution to having something to live on until at least one of the renovation jobs on the two old wooden pleasure craft I have finally gets finished. As a boat, I never liked or took to it, . . having always held to the belief that anyone who would actually want to own a modern imitation so-called 'narrowboat' out of choice is simply advertising what complete wankers they are. So basically CRT did you a favour in taking it away then?

Crikey that is a lot of wankers. Any suggestions for the collective term? Given that the masturbating hordes, . . and all their awful boats, . . effectively spelled the end of the English canals and river navigations as I had known, lived and worked on them for most of my life, . . . I think a 'nemesis' [of wankers] would serve as a rather apt collective noun.

What a lovely chap TonyDunkley is ... warm, welcoming, open and helpful ... always ready with a friendly smile. I can't think why he calls me 'Alice in Wonderland'. Anyone any suggestions ? Rog

If it wasn't for leisure boats the canal network would have been filled in and built on decades ago, and the fact that you don't understand this simply flags up your complete and total ignorance about the waterways system.

Erm ... TD hasn't got a boat ... maybe that's why he's fixated on kris 's Rog Hes still the owner of Selby Micheal as far as we know. It’s still filled with water sat on the bottom, after someone mysteriously untied it and let it go down river. I wonder if “whoever,” let it go did so to make a point against canal and river trust? You 'know' nothing about anything, . . meanwhile there's this for you to reply to : --- Unanswered Question
[Which will be repeated until kris, who started this thread under a different title, provides a full and honest answer] Was the change to the (this) thread title made in the hope of avoiding any more awkward questions about the hull damage that occurred to A41 [aka. "Medlock" - Index No. 76914] on the Aire and Calder on 26 September 2017, and the unsatisfactory bodged repairs that the owner [kris] would prefer not to come to the attention of the C&RT or the boat's insurers ?References : -- * < www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1983/2/pdfs/ukla_19830002_en.pdf > -- Section 7 [Control of unsafe vessels] * "No limit on the age of the boat provided it is in sound condition and maintained in a sound condition throughout the period of this insurance".

This rebellious behaviour is not getting a lot of positive feedback.
I declare you a rebel without applause.

It's totally, utterly, and demonstrably NOTHING to do with you nice Mr Dunkley. Have you no witty tales of your boating days to tell us ? I promise I won't say they're 'vomit inducing' Rog

Ah, but the majority of the "leisure" boats at that time were not modern sewertubes ..... just look at the pictures from then

I was walking around the estate where th woman managed to get a flat and explained to the kids "I remember the days when this was all tower blocks".
It was and I do. Tower blocks replaced with new build low rise units.
Times change.

I blame Gordon Brown for canals filling up. Give the BOE control of interest rates.
Bad idea.
And mobile phones. Also bad.
