What is a big concern is how many other bodges has the so called engineer or company who carried out this repair, might be ripping people off for repairs not done to a standard and possibly putting lives at risk?
Are you serious!!!!!! If any angler fishes in a swim that he knows will see boats that have a right to those waters and possibly upset his day's fishing, has no right to let loose a foul mouthed attitude.
I think being on a boat, drinking a few beers and if hopefully the sun is out, makes a great holiday. Basically you need to know your limits to enjoy yourself, but not to be a nuisance to others trying to enjoy their boating holiday in their own way.
I reckon tv licensing is more scrutinised against home owners rather than broads boats, is because no way are you going to get your moneys worth on the broads as the signal a lot of the time is poor and the tv pixelates a lot.
It seems to be a trend nowadays to getting out of paying parking fines, other motoring offences and even possibly out staying your right to a mooring by simply saying, I just don't or didn't understand the rules and basically plead dumb!
I must admit if it was in June, I would like to meet some of the inmates in here and experience restoration of a boat. I do have some holiday expected in June, so if my talents that are somewhat limited in boat restoration might be needed and you aren't a Tardis away from Ipswich, I might be able to help.
If I owned my own boat and to put would be thieves off, it would either be a pet python starved for a few days, or a Des O'Connor LP in full view in the cockpit window.
I think you will find that you have a legal right above the airspace of your property of a certain metres that I'm not sure off. But if you feel that this has been violated by from one of these drones, you have the right to fire upon one of these drones with a shotgun or airgun if laws allow giving upon your land right.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
