That's exactly what people have been saying they will do π

Fortunately, no I haven't lol I wonder if the pub does have a similar set of rules π±

Imagine running the car park on the same basis π

The wording does seem to imply that there is a possibility at busy times that your boat may be moved and end up double moored! This is probably just a "reserved right" in case of customers who can't (won't) comply with polite requests. I predict a reworded notice at some point if and when it becomes noticeable that some privateers are put off from mooring at all

Quite a good rail service from Acle Ian π

The owners took over just before the first lockdown! Quite a challenge but they kept going with local meal deliveries etc. A proper welcoming pub π

Perfect for your location Ian, the couple who run it make everyone so welcome. They put their heart and soul into it π

If you can get there I can highly recommend The Lion. Good pub, nice people and truly dog friendly ππΎπΊ

There may (or may not) be one or two flaws with this idea π No revolutions please, we're British (other nationalities are available). When you come right down to it... Oil companies have us over a barrel. π

I love the comparison to the picture on the can lol

My toll is Β£0.98p less than last year. I'm seeking financial advice on how to invest my new found wealth π (Changed to a slightly smaller boat, although we have more space than before so a rare win/win)

Sounds interesting, did you take a photo?

A very long, very hot shower, a cold beer and a roast chicken dinner.... Now feeling almost human again. The job isn't finished but the hardest, most aromatic work is done so I'm happy with that π

I didn't realise you had a week, that's great! I think the blue skies are going to be around a while too π

I had the pleasure of meeting Lulu & Selsie at Potter today plus the very handsome Desmond and beautiful Luna. Next time hopefully it'll be warmer and my boat will be somewhat more fragrant lol

The only things I keep telling myself are that I have to do something anyway and this should make a real improvement to the one thing that would be good to improve. On the other hand... I can offer volunteers beer, tea, coffee, cake, never ending gratitude, money, my car, my house... a pact with the devil? π -

Looking at my photo again that could make disassembly a little less risky of "unpleasantness" too. OK so I just have too wait for some deliveries and I'll be getting on with it. Thanks again. -

I have this morning found and ordered some 40mm bar so it'll be belt and braces for me now anyway. I'm leaving the diverter valve in place which I'm guessing also has some mechanism for stopping water ingress at the point where it would discharge. So the skin valve, the diverter valve and some good effective bungs in the cut off pipes. Belt, braces and a fetching pair of garters if you will π Seriously I'm very grateful for all the advice from you both ππΊ -

Sorry to ask so many questions but I think I may leave the diverter valve fitted in the boat and cut off short (3 or 4 inches) the current pipes from the wc and to the holding tank and seal them off. Would either of these items be suitable please - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08155HPJP/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwy&th=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waste-Pipe-Cap-Stop-End/dp/B015QBD1RG/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=6DLMB7HYC3DX&keywords=38mm+sanitation+hose+end+cap&qid=1645282805&sprefix=38mm+sanitation+hose+end+cap%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-18 -

Thank you John, if I do this the waste hose from wc to holding tank will be about 2 feet long and all on a slight slope down to the tank. I cant imagine I would ever want to use the facility to pump overboard but with the outlet already fitted in the skin converting her back would be quite a straight forward job I hope. I'm just about decided to do it, I have to change a pipe anyway and this could even be a (slightly) less unpleasant way to get the job done and end up with a more efficient system π
