  1. So my saving up has been in vain šŸ™„
  2. So there are now two Tideways?
  3. As is my 2016 Tucson Diesel along with Ā£30 a year road tax!
  4. I believe it is the AA but the good news is a wheel change is within my capabilities šŸ’ŖšŸ˜‚
  5. Our 7 year old Hyundai Tucson went into Upminster Hyundai today for a ā€œcore serviceā€ and MOT. Ā£169 later we have a new MOT and 12 months pretty comprehensive breakdown cover - including home start, roadside assistance etc and if they canā€™t fix it 2 day replacement car.
  6. I hope so! By all accounts the yard is a bit underwater. Last weeks owners came home early. Wellies certainly needed to get to the boat at the moment!
  7. When I rang Admiral to cancel the auto renewal they wanted to go through it all to get me a better price. I refused and told them they should have offered me the best price in the first place- never, ever auto-renewal without shopping around first!
  8. We had two cars on a multi car policy with admiral, renewal in mid October. Last year - Ā£650 for both. Renewal this year for both Ā£1,150. Nothing has changed in the policy. Now they are separate policies with Tesco for a total cost of Ā£720. I seem to have lost all sense in what things are worth these days!
  9. Rockland Dyke was one of our favourite spots when Thunder was moored down south. last time we visited we moored in pretty much that spot šŸ‘šŸ» and the hireboat moored next to us had thrown its engine oil all around the engine bay. It was a bit of messšŸ˜¬
  10. We were moored at Ranworth earlier on in the season and Hire boat pulls in next to us. They ask how to use the electric, we tell them and off they go to the shop to buy the cards. I show them how to put the 1st pound but apparantly ā€œthey needed to charge phone and run hairdryersā€ so they add another Ā£4. They left 3 hours later with Ā£4.70 credit still left šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
  11. So according to the Bank of Englands on-line calculator (NAO CPI inflation data) https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator
  12. @BroadAmbitionof you donā€™t mind me asking how much was BAā€™s toll in 2007?
  13. As one Diamond 35 joins a hirefleet is another Diamond 35 leaving a different hirefleet? https://www.nya.co.uk/boats-for-sale/aquafibre-diamond-35-5/
  14. Itā€™s almost as if the Government wanted people to stop spending money to bring down inflationā€¦..
  15. There was a time they used to park them the other side of the river in the old Moores yard. I assumed they had an insurance policy that allowed them to drive the cars on the road.
  16. Well I have suggested to our Chair that the Chairā€™s should all be in contact with each other fairly regularly so a great idea šŸ‘šŸ» From your fellow Treasurer, Matt
  17. Thatā€™s good news. We havenā€™t had a share up for sale in Thunder for quite a while now but the big news is we are self managed from Octoberā€¦..
  18. When I was there last week it already had the HPC decals on it! Looks very nice from the outside.
  19. Next you will be telling us these ā€œluxury hotelsā€ have hot water whenever you want it šŸ˜ƒ
  20. My Grandparents lived in Falmouth when I was growing up. Many, many great holidays and memories down there. The nights spent at The Pandora Inn, the lunches at The Ferry Boat Inn on the Helford river, the pitch and putt at Swanpool, all great times.
  21. I couldnā€™t work it out either!
  22. Have you considers submitting an FOI for the number of boats that paid by day since the charge was introduced? I suspect they have the info and should share it.
  23. And then the car behind you pulls out and goes around you šŸ˜‚ it happens all the time!
  24. I didnā€™t say anybody was exempt from the lawā€¦..
