JennyMorgan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Several relevant and interesting websites out there, if you'd care to search. Here's one that I found to be both interesting and easily linked to Norwich by the simple fact that many people do not earn sufficient to be able to live in even a minimal, regulation box, even if they can find one: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/23/london-houseboat-slum-rents-barge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Two very informative articles. Pity the edp can't manage the same here. The articles more or less show the opposite ends of the spectrum. We don't see our selves at the top end but we are quite comfortable. How many people can say they own everything they have and owe no one. Why did we choose to live on a boat? Lots of reasons, remember the 13% interest rate, never again, but the main reason we did it was because we didn't want to be sat in an old peoples common room with a blanket over our knees wondering what it would be like. I'm glad to say we have thoroughly enjoyed our life afloat and will continue until we are no longer fit enough to do so. If you are thinking of living afloat, don't leave it to late or you never will. Happy New Year Colin and Ruth 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
