I looked in at just after 9pm and you'd all gone to bed. Lightweights!
Must of just missed you then.

Jeeeze, that`s a hell of lot to take in a short space of time, don`t know anybody involved personally but feel for them.

As mentioned above re new boilers and showers, agree some plumbers just throw a combi in as it is easy money however without prior testing of water pressure and flow rates problems such as hot water going cold if somebody opens a cold water tap whilst you are in the shower can occur.
I am a trusted member of a good plumbers forum so if anybody is interested in learning more send me a pm and I`ll send the link to it.

Causing installers all sorts of hassle from customers who think they are trying "to sell extras" though.

It has been looked into, and actually a small increase in size was substantially more expensive...
So size does matter, nudge nudge, wink wink.

We replaced our 26 year old Ideal Standard just before Christmas with a shiny new Worcester Bosch appliance. Initial indications are that it uses around 10% less gas than the old one, so it will be a while before it repays my £2000 investment. I wonder if a new thermostat is in order?
Re the stat and other stuff, this came into law April 2018

.The boiler is over twenty years old.On the plus side,we hope to sell in about two and a half years time.We a new boiler may help.Now all we need is six numbers now!

House boiler- Yes? Then don`t get talked into having a combi boiler as they don`t suit all. Wouldn`t go with BG and their expensive powerflush either.

I have just realized that I have been flying the forum pennant upside down for the past year, and no one has come to my rescue.

Hello; My name is Razza and I`m ringing about the accident you had, is this right?
Me; Excellent, which one?
Funny how the call always ends right there.

From France? That has to be a few £`s, it is around 600-800 from Oxford.

11m tradition.there are two tamaris have you seen them both?
paul
Thanks again, yep looked at both and prefer one over the other tbh.
-
Tamaris looks nice in the photos, excuse El Thicko here but which one is the Connoisseur?
-
Thanks Paul, I had a look at the start of my search but didn`t understand how you could buy unless you went to France to view and then didn`t see how you brought the boat back here tbh which all seemed a lot of hassle.

I'd seen it online myself, it looked in really good order and reasonable price for the interior fit out.
Ah, no it wasn`t that one.
-
Yep, they crab if not set up square and can be an inch or so out. Could of been made longer as well.

I've seen so many boats I honestly can't remember.

Thanks, looked at that one around the start of my quest. Will contact Faircraft Loynes though, see what they say.

Norfolk Boatshed has what looks like a former Royals boat (only going by the colour) if it is then sure to be a cracking boat
Thanks but too big for me.

Waterside marine have a good selection of Alphas ,single engine and low air draft.How many berths are you looking for?
Thanks, just had another look and nothing new there today. Find them generally overpriced for what they are, as an example the Alpha 35 has a major roof problem (been dragging an experianced person around with me to viewings) and their customer service re "It`s in the workshop at the moment, I`ll get back to you" needs some improvement.
Ideally 4 berth.

What is your budget?
Between 25k-45k.

Hi all, After scouring websites and marinas for two months I thought I had my first boat
only to be outbid or undone by some underhand nonsense by the broker so can I ask you all to keep your eyes open for anything that has a single engine, is around 35-37ft in length with low airdraft, easy to get on and off with minimal steps inside. Don`t mind travelling to view so wherever you are in the country please keep your eyes open.
Finders fee offered and thanks in advance.
