Firewood boat. The intriguing thing about TonyDunkley 's comment about owning a couple of wooden pleasure craft is that previously he has used the rather delicious description of "carefully arranged firewood" to eulogise about wooden craft. I seem to recall that some time ago Tony told us about a historic iron-built restoration project described as approaching completion. It's good he keeps himself busy. A man needs a hobby.

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. Do your wooden boats exist outside of your imagination? From the word "Go" I thought these were almost certainly imaginary boats which had no more substance in reality than Richard Parry's upcoming prison sentence. Still, a man needs a hobby and if it keeps Tony happy then we should support him in this.

And no doubt TD prefers a back to back terrace house, with coal fire and an outside privy rather than a centrally heated, indoor plumbed, modern 'so called' house. And he no doubt worked on horse drawn working boats not modern diesel powered 'so called' working boats. You could go on with this Rog ETA Of course I'll resist abusing him ...that sort of thing is more his bailiwick Couldnt resist itπ

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".

I reckon insurance companies should have a Dido clause in them.
In the event of the vessel foundering the master agrees "I will go down with this ship".
That'd sort it out. Big cable ties to hold the master to his helm.
Glug glug glug.

There would have to be a slight amendment by the Underwriters for A41, . . with the wording "I will go down with this ship" changed to the insured agreeing to "go down with [these cardboard boxes full of] all this shit".

What business is it of yours what Kris does with his boat, you senile old coffin-dodger? As I've said previously, . . Mr Shit-for-Brains, . . he made it my business, firstly when he asked for my help in formulating a claim against C&RT for the hull damage he did when he ran A41 up onto some concrete craneboat weights placed against some subsiding bank piling as temporary support on the A & C near Heck on 26 September 2017, then when he sought my advice on repairs to the damage, . . advice that I believe he ignored in favour of his own stated preference for a 'pour and hope' bodge-up with something of the order of 10(+) tons of concrete.
