Liveaboards

This has turned into an archive of the issues that concern me as a residential boater and campaigner. I hope others enjoy and find some if not all of what I say here informative. Much of what I used to write about here was about British Waterways - no apologies. Since July 2012 British Waterways' functions largely transferred to the Canal and River Trust. Will this make things better?

Still breathing!

Still here. Just been busy with other bits of my life. Lots of boating issues bubbling about under the surface but keeping my thoughts to myself for the moment. I'll be back....

About labels

Labelling my posts allows you and me to filter/sort items by the subjects labels I attach to posts as the blog builds. It also allows me to count which topics I bang on about most often!

(How long will British Waterways be at the top of the list for?)

Postscript - Sadly BW is no more having rebranded as Canal and River Trust.
