I'm all in favour of householders being banned from burning wood. This craze for wood burners is why firewood has become so expensive in the last few years. Tarquin and Jemima can just turn the central heating up a bit and leave the wood for us boaters.

After all it’s not about air quality otherwise they would be looking at banning all personal transport within the m25.

Probably proposed by the new pseudo vegans who buy their pre-prepared "meat substitute/plant based" meals delivered to their eco friendly (subsidised) homes to feed their four children who all take a plane twice a year to see the world and save something on the verge of extinction by abusing loads of kids cruelly used there who mine their lithium and .........

I'm doing a delivery to Wembley tomorrow and I have to go in a specific truck because it is euro 6 and ULEZ compliant. I could go right past Wembley tomorrow on the GU in my boat which has a BMC engine dating from the 1950s and nobody would give a shit.

I think there is a tad of difference between the GU and the A40.

Let’s hope so, but the guardian seem to be stepping up the retoric. They have had a few articles highlighting boaters stoves.

I think there is a tad of difference between the GU and the A40. But boaters are such a small group compared to motorists that it's not worth anybody's time legislating against them. Look at the red diesel issue for example. Obviously as a law-abiding citizen I always insist on paying for my diesel at the 100% propulsion rate but I am led to believe that some ne'er-do-wells avoid their obligations to society by overstating domestic use, sometimes to the point where they claim that every drop of diesel purchased is to charge the batteries and provide hot water for a shower. I'm sure HMRC are aware of this, but what do they do about it? Fuck all. We are such a small and economically insignificant group that the cost of taking remedial action would far exceed any revenue which could be raised.

But folks were complaining about boater-generated wood smoke ages ago. A long time before the current mass debate.

Some people in massively overpriced shitty new-build flats thrown up next to the canal complain about boater-generated wood smoke from time to time but literally no-one gives a flying fuck about them.
