Hylander, in my defence It wouldn't let me use my normal name, it wouldn't let me have a space/hyphen/underscore between the two parts otherwise I'd have used it in preference.

Was that a "Reed Bunting" the narrator identified as a "Reed Warbler" ?
Didn't notice anything else

Peachy, where are you moored now? £100 per month for a 20 footer seems a tad excessive!!!

It must be a very difficult balancing act Richard is attempting.
On the one hand, he wants the system, the control the whole lot. It's his hobby and that's what he wants to do. On the other hand it will not have escaped his notice that there is a great number of people who have come to rely on that site, and have quite unwittingly placed a heavy burden of responsibility on his shoulders I'm sure Richard never expected or perhaps even wanted it to grow the way it has.
I await with eagerness to see what happens to it now.

Hey Trevor,
That big ceramic glass with the hinged black lid...
That wasn't the one you were supposed to be drinking from!!!

On a level crossing not far from here, two 16ish year old schoolgirls were killed because they crossed the line after the barriers were down. There was outrage that there were no special gates that would lock automatically stopping people going through. The probability that the girls were not paying attention to the track and that they crossed when the traffic barriers were down was largely, no, totally ignored. Railtrack were heavily fined.
A schoolgirl was killed near Bishops Stortford when she crossed the line at an official pedestrian crossing point. It was established that she was listening to her I-Pod (or whatever they're called these days) and didn't hear the train. It was largely, no, totally ignored that she didn't look either. A bridge will now have to be built there.
Three young lives lost and all because they didn't follow the most basic of rules. Look before you cross!
These gut wrenching tragedies could each have been simply avoided if even just a speck of self discipline had been instilled into these children. But who can possibly teach children to be careful when ADULT cyclists wipe their brow because, by luck, they just avoided death from their stupidity.
Whoops, another rant. Sorry.

I suppose I could take my roof down.....given a tin opener.

This is another "Blood Boiler" for me" ... (puts tin hat on and starts to rant)
I am in no doubt that should the worst have happened, there would have been an outcry about how dangerous these crossings are, and how things must change to make them safer, possibly leading to railtrack being fined for negligence.
If people are incapable of doing what they are told (like stopping at a red light) they should be punished, and punished severely. That train driver will be having nightmares for months because of that woman's stupidity and, lets face it, selfishness.
"Why shouldn't I cross when I want to?" and "Who are they to tell me to wait?"
I can ruddy well hear her thinking it !!!!!!!!!
Personally I'd like to see a four figure fine for actions like that or 6 months inside, Whatever it takes to get cyclists to obey the law.
Sorry my views are so very strong on this, but not without VERY strong reasons!

If you are going to use a disposable nappy on a stick, please remember to take the baby out of it first. Too many babies in the bilge WILL block up the bilge pump very quickly.

I just hope that someone took you up on that bargain.

No! I'm talking about "One night stands" too

Not quite what I had in mind. Perhaps if someone can think of a way to half fill one like that with sand we would be there

I have a question regarding fenders.
I would like 3 sausage shaped fenders that are only semi buoyant. I would like them to float but vertically and with only about a third showing above the waterline.
I want these for places like Reedham when the tides are high.
Do such things exist?
Perhaps some sinking fenders might be good too.
Your views please!
-
The tide was very high that day and I think the Ranger was getting decidedly jittery about his moored boats. We just put our hand up to say sorry - as you do and pottered off even slower.
I suspect that this is the issue here.
My guess is that given the height of the tide, that which would normally be considered an acceptable wash was, on this occasion, higher than was comfortable for the moored craft.
It was perhaps the fenders that were the problem, where even a gentle rocking would send them up onto the bank where they would achieve nothing.
This would be a difficult message for the Ranger to get across. "Slow down" is a lot easier.

As I've said before many times and in many places, you don't get big by being bad! You get big by giving the customer what the customer wants, when the customer wants it and how the customer likes it.

I should have replied earlier and thanked you Strow for putting me right on this. Now I know.
though I reckon my avatar will do that!
