Roger is a personal friend TBH , I know a fair few that moor there too , so far I've got 2 places for water both through friendship ..that said thanks Vaughan for that help good to see not everyone is critical

Really try reading the post I referred to prior to my first comment, I'm leaving this right here because I can see your interested in making it personal . How about thinking of everyone not just some i flaming well are .

One would have thought it obviously that's why I choose to quote it , sorry if I'm a little edgy but this is a very serious situation and Don't see why old battles need re enacting at this time ..the NBN Is in a good position to help here , if it's negative then it will not go down well with other members or guests that are thinking of joining ..we are all in this together regardless of nothing , now is the time to pull together .

I wasn't intending sturing up any problems but I objected to the post I quoted for the reasons stated , I've always had the opinion that we shouldn't be interested it blame but instead pull together . There are a number of moorings with toilets close by and I'm aware of BAs superb idea of getting together a list which will help no end , now is not the time for laying blame we need to help each other as much as we can and BA are working towards that in helping as they can .

Sorry but do you mean that anyone who Cruise's continually is breaking the rules ? . Sure some do but equally alot don't . Btw isn't it required that to live on a boat legally you need a mooring with planning permission in place , just exactly how many marinas have that ? Those living afloat in Marina's without permission are equally breaking the rules . It's totally wrong to state that those who live out in the river through choice are a problem some are done are not . Remember this now brooms have closed the kiosk fuel and the basic item water is increasing difficult on the yare , and yet the most important thing is seaming taring everyone with the same brush . Why not have some compassion for those who are operating in very difficult circumstances or is that too much to ask .

How can you be vigilant around the marina when you're not going to be there due to a lockdown. Surely the marina staff who live locally will handle the situation . I'm wondering just how many boater's now wished the had someone living onboard in their marina ? , For year those that live afloat have been crucified here and other forums , to me that was short sighted and worse but isn't it funny how they when this lockdown happens and it most certainly will , suddenly become the biggest assert security wise? .

I'm sorry but who is going to need a pumpout other than those that live on a boat ? , If the lockdown when it comes is anything like the one in France then it won't be possible to just go for a jaunt down the river it would be breaking the rules . Obviously if you live in the boat it's your primary residence and if your a continuous cruiser or whatever you no doubt will be allowed to move the vessel to obtain water, fuel , pumpout or food , only those vessels would I believe be granted an exception . The whole point of the lockdown is to stop the virus potentially moving around , hence cruising for just pleasure is highly unlikely to be allowed , now it's not clear what the penaltys would be for infringement but I'd be surprised if it's not a police matter of a certain level of importance given the circumstances .

That's exactly what it is called , the question is why use it , after all click bait is designed to make people jump to conclusions . Why not just title the thread " Google Earth" after all that is the subject , that saves unnecessary jumping to conclusions IMHO . Regarding Google Earth yes it most certainly has its uses if peg person behaves , but you can't beat actually being there

That's the vessel that got stolen a few yrs back from it's mooring just above freedom boats .

It most certainly does including your good self

It's ok if it has I know someone with loads of toilet roll

No intentions of taking it further just purely replying to posts that quote me , or is that not allowed in your world ?

With the deepest if respect I really don't see this as purely bickering , members are annoyed that's definitely not bickering . The fact remains the whole episode was totally avoidable by thinking before typing .

Wrong on 2 count's , first of all the only reason he's received a bit of a backlash is because he himself had the brass neck to make the stockpiling statement in the first place , most people would realise that wasn't a clever move . Add to that he has no idea on anyone else health conditions or appear to be interested. As for being responsible , is taking stock from small village stores actually a resposable thing to do for none residents ? They can't carry the stock supermarkets can and basically serve the local community and there's bound by to be people that depend on them . As for having to explain , there would have been no need for that if the stockpiling ( his own words not mine ) post hadn't been made . We are all in a frightening position right now every single one of us .

Rediculous advice , where ever you go store wise there's plenty of frozen produce , why because people are stockpiling and freezing fresh food , and now M&S are surgesting they do , I give up some folk Haven't the brains they were born with . I only hope these idiots are dating thing's they are freezing on Mass and understand what freezer burn is !

It's most definitely a problem in Canada at the moment although I believe it's not a problem in one of the worst hit areas Italy , apparently there the situation is stable as the Italians are only purchasing what they actually need .

Now as your fully aware as you have obviously read the post and liked it I've been pulled on being a little presumptuous. Have you bothered to think I might have health issues ? . I'm hardly surprised to hear that toilet rolls in your area have sold out but I fully understand why they have , shortages are the direct result of stockpiling after all under normal circumstances there was no shortage , now if you need them all that's fine but it was yourself that stated you were stockpiling and had been for sometime. I really can't for the life in me understand why on earth you chose to photograph them and the post it with details , surely you must have realised at some point at least one person was going to see it as wrong , I'm hardly on my own in thinking that looking at the replys on here . As I said if you need them you need them but please for goodness sake don't promote it , just remember others may well be struggling for supply's and may well be in a similar situation health wise . I'm quite sure you won't be the only member that's got a collection but your the only one that went public with it , and that's exactly why it got the response it did . Stay safe and stay healthy .

Your quite right , could I respectfully ask that your a little more specific in future and in so doing eliminate any chance of further presumptions .

Exactly they consider him not credible , funny that alot of people think they are exactly that ie not credible , how many times of late has the phrase "wrong choice of words" been used to cover for what wasn't true to begin with ? . If BA want public trust they will seriously have to up their game and be a dam site more accurate , it's all well and good having a go at people for credibility but it shouldn't be done by an organization that sadly lacking in it to begin with .

That's exactly what is in that tin , normally environmental health will dispose of that for you but right now I guess their pretty busy , if it were me using disposable glove's I'd put it and the gloves in a sealed bag until you can get rid of it correctly .

Sure , it was your comment regarding forming a line behind broad ambition in which I presume your referring to Griff not the vessel as that's his forum name . Griff is more than aware of the boat toilet rules in fact he's a phrase about it , however it was not made clear that blue roll should never go down a boat toilet as there's a very good chance it will block the pipe work , all was doing is pointing that out , sure you can use blue roll but dispose of it elsewhere . My apologies if I've distressed you in any way but I automatically figured your were referring to Griff not the vessel .

Absolutely confused now what have the authority got to do with this ???

So basically stuff everyone else I'm thinking of me !!!. In the past many have said I've posted unwisely , that said I know dam well when yo keep my mouth shut , your phonograph says everything , clearly the I'm all right jack attitude is alive and well , I'm amazed you thought people would be impressed TBH , have you ever given a thought to those even worse off than yourself ? . This is not a personal attack it's an attack on a certain attitude held by far too many people of late .

Why would you really put that in a boat toilet ??? , Sure you can use it but you will never find it in my holding tank ever , kitchen towel also works fine but not down the toilet ..why on Earth do you think proper boat toilet roll is thin and biodegradable ????

I'm sure they would but both are from another are on Short visit licences , that said vagabond is one big lump n only serious towing equipment need apply for moving her about
