As a guess I would think that fishing rights mean the right to fish not the right of access. Owners of river banks do not necessarily have fishing rights. I cant imagine owners of such rights would let that one past!!! Cheers Scapa (Up all night on shift!!)

Do you mean Lord Kelvin's Balls? These are the soft Iron balls on each side of the compass binnacle. They are used to counteract the effect of induced magnetism on the compass Cheers Scapa

Point taken about the bell on your macho bike Rich but how about a manly shout when approaching blind corners or bridges. Dingaling Scapa

Many of the war cemeteries in France and else where hold the graves of British, Commonwealth and sometimes German victims. There are even (would you believe it!!) French soldiers buried there. If you condemn a whole nation for the actions of a few you forget why WW2 was fought.

Come on guys use a little sense on this subject. There are idiots and criminals every where. There are also a huge number of decent people who condem such behaviour. Do not react with generalities as there lies the way of hate and ignorance. Cheers Scapa

As a sometime narrow boater as well as an angler could I please get some advice. Last year I did some boating on the Leeds/Liverpool canal. On approaching anglers I would slow down and try to give them a wide berth. Some anglers demanded I slow further, others that I "keep 'er gonin to churn up the bottom " most just scowled. What is acceptable behaviour? On the matter of pole anglers, after trying to show consideration as above I found the polies just kept their kit out and would let one stay put all day if you would. I figured that my 50' narrow boat would suffer less damage than a 20' pole so I kept her goin' but didn't make any friends :confused: :confused: There must be an answer if we all show consideration and respect. Cheers Scapa

There were usually marigolds in the galley :confused: :confused: Cheers Scapa

This is a disgraceful act of vandalism. But that is all it is. I don't think the EU is directly to blame!! There is the odd act of wanton destruction in Britain from time to time, or so I hear Cheers Scapa
