We take our hols in September, last year we got hit four times.Three from hire boats and one from a shared boat.The first from a middle aged man when we were moored at Potter.He was coming in to moor.I in no uncertain terms told him why did he hit us.He said I'm on my own.Thats fair enough all you had to do was put the boat in reverse. The last a shared boat,again we were moored, I knew he was going to hit us ,did he say sorry no just carried on down the river.I agree many that hire are good on the river,some not that also goes for some private owners.I have hire now our own boat.We all have to learn.There are many I am sorry to say that just don't care.
