So what was your point? That youβve got a Mercedesβ? That was sarcasm used in response to your rather silly remarks. π

q. How do you tell a real squatter from a new entitled generation squatter? a. The second lot have a convoluted back-story. The new entitled squatters all have trust funds. Exactly. There is a distinct whiff of organic muesli from Waitrose.

Its an odd phenomenon. I blame myself for inadvertently causing this societal ill.

Its pretty shocking.
I often look out through the slightly foggy lens of my assumptions and wonder if other people might actually be 'alright'.
I doubt it but it is plausible.

Its all fucked innit.
I sometimes think retiring to the country estate permanently might be an idea.
I could be a game keeper.
I feel that the pressure on waterways is all part of a bigger picture. Gradual societal breakdown, overpopulation and facebook.
Its going to get worse before it gets better and its probably not going to get better.

I see, after their successful day out to an empty park in Birmingham, the Twirlers have a few tickets left for their annual Xmas bash. Ideal if you can spare a day off from your busy cruising commitments or youβre continuously moored in the area!π

Le Creuset is good cookware though to be fair.

I donβt really see what the issue is. They are having a social gathering for their members?

The issue is that the NBTA are going to eventually get living on boats banned or made a lot more awkward by being too loud about it.
Some people are perfectly happy with the current arrangements and like a quiet life but these people will be fucked up by people with too much attitude.
I suppose it doesn't really matter.
I don't understand why the NBTA moan. Living on a boat and cruising around the canals is not arduous and subject to remarkably little regulation.
They seem to just want more regulation. I don't understand why.

Itβs changed already Andrew the good old days you keep harping on about are gone. I donβt think you can blame the NBTA for that. All the you tube vlogs telling everyone how wonderful it is and how cheap are more to blame in my opinion. So anyway whatβs so bad about a group organising a social gathering for its members.
