The Nelson at Reedham was never any good after Pete Colerick left.

Unfortunately BSS require any tank drain to be fitted with a cap or plug which can only be removed by use of tools. This would tend to make any water drain checks a very messy business!| 2.8 Fuel tank connections 2.8.1 Is the fuel tank drain fitted with a plug or cap which can only be removed with tools? R Check each fuel tank for the presence of a fuel drain facility. If present, check the drain outlet for the presence of a plug, cap or blank. If present, the outlets from fuel tank drains and drain valves must be terminated with a ‘tools‐to‐remove’ plug, cap or blank. NOTE – the provision of a fuel tank drain facility is not a requirement. NOTE ‐ The plug, cap or blank must be of proprietary manufacture and/or metallic and it must be fixed in place by a screw mechanism which requires a tool to remove it.

Just got to love Desmond's 5 o'clock shadow. He looks like a fully paid up member of the Ant Hill Mob!

I didn't know OVRC ran such a scheme. I am a member of both GOBA (Great Ouse Boating Association) and FORTN (Friends Of The River Nene) both of whom run such a scheme for members only. Generally bankside only.

The dark blue hulled boat was up on blocks and oil drums at Broadlands Holiday Village about mid 2000's. Repair work to the hull was planned, but was found to be too far gone to be economically viable and was dismantled. I used to park my car in front of her.

As I see it, the requirements for boating qualifications could kill the hire boat industry. If I have my Elysian transported to France to enjoy the canals and rivers there as Skipper I am required to hold both ICC and CEVNI certificates. However if I rock up with the cash, I can hire a boat and with a modicum of training (presumably a similar HO/TO session similar to present Broads hire organisations) sail off down the river. As usual, the French don't seem to let regulations get in their way!

My middle lads Rottie used to like watching TV with my Granddaughter. This from 4 years ago. Junglebook!

Me for one. Someone in our block of flats tested positive so I had a test too. 16 days later I feel no worse nor better than I did a month ago.

Yes, Appendix J of the BSS Examination Checking Procedures applies.

I have an Elysian that suffered this problem. Although it is powered by a 4-108 Perky, the oil cooler in the raw water circuit had developed a leak and yes rainbows at the stern! A new cooler from ASAP soon sorted the problem.

I remember Posh Spice trying to stop Peterborough FC from calling themselves the Posh! Over inflated egos comes to mind! -
