Hi Folks, The London regional news program on BBC1 just had a feature about living "off the grid". Of course, one such group are boaters.
This bloke, in his own words, "Im a constant cruiser, so I can only park on the towpath side, stay for 14 days in one place". However, with both him and his daughter (going to school) living on board I suspect he travels very little on the canal. It was another anonymous gray boat, on honey pot (visiter?) moorings next to the Islington tunnel. This is yet another poor excuse for continuous cruising, and I really wish BW could do more to control these boaters. People are using this loop hole to live where they like without paying for moorings, and not even really interested in the canals on which they live. I think it will be repeated on the 6:30 bulletin, so keep a watch out. Cheers, Mike -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_DOT_zapto_DOT_org/
