Quite why the bloke couldn't have spent half-an-hour with a scouring pad and some Cif washing that mould off and then another hour with a tin of polish cleaning that paintwork up is beyond me. He obviously hasn't got a scrape of pride or self-respect. This is exactly the type of slum boat CRT should be focusing on and it's no wonder Tony Dunkley has such support for his fellow traveller.

@tonysunkley
I've got someone who is interested in the 5L3 out of your old boat which is currently advertised on the KB Mason "no photos" website.
Do you think it is likely to be running? What sort of hours does it have and was it greedy on fuel or remarkably economical?
They are lovely engines. This geyser is getting a 80ft x 17ft trawler yacht built and wants the best engine money can buy.
Is it a Good One?

I'm "shit-for-brains" but then you're a nobody on this forum until you have a "Dunkley name". I'm feeling a bit of a nobody - only "a mad (lying (sic)) bitch" and, sadly, not a "Dunkley name" - just nominated such by two of our other venerated, highly esteemed members.......... I'm sure he called us ??old trouts.Just can't remember what the ?? was.I do remember suggesting sweatshirts suitably printed.🤷🏻♀️

Ripping hearts out and eating them while they are still beating?
Or does this come under the general psychopath umbrella.

The 4LW seems suspiciously cheap but maybe a fair price if it runs. no that’s quite exspensive, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention……..

Thunderboat Geriatric Society. It is bound to happen. As for the K&A "eviction" thing this whole scenario is asking quite an interesting and important question. What will the authorities look to do in order to solve this problem? On the Thames in certain areas there have been discussions around using Public Space Protection Orders and including a prohibition on mooring. The Environment Agency has, quite predictably, offered to transfer their riverside land to local councils but the councils won't touch it with a large pole. Interesting situation I think. If the CRT can't get rid of this nuisance one wonders what will happen. Maybe linear slums will be tolerated after all on out inland waterways. Letter from Elmbridge (Surrey) council to EA : www.elmbridge.gov.uk/moorings-unauthorised/tackling-unauthorised-moorings/Interesting goings on. They'll get there. Not sure what the outcome is but it might not be all that pretty for people living on boats. Interestingly in the case of Molesey towpath where there has been a land grab by boat owners the planning permission was granted for one of the boats for 2 years due to a child living aboard. Obviously this is different to canals as the riverbank land ownership is complicated and in some areas unregistered.

Still. this part might be good news for itinerant boats after the summer:
The Environment Agency’s contract for mooring management contractor, District Enforcement, will be brought to an end from 30 September 2021. This decision has been taken following a review that subsequently identified issues with the EA’s internal procurement processes, rather than as a result of any fault by District Enforcement.
District Enforcement will cease operations under the contract on 31 August The EA expect to look into options to retender for this work in the future but in the meantime moorings will be managed by the Environment Agency’s Waterways staff.
This does not affect Elmbridge’s agreement with District Enforcement who will continue to enforce unauthorised mooring on Elmbridge owned land at Cigarette Island, Albany Reach and Ditton Reach.
