Allthough some posts on here start out quite interesting, they usually turn in to a war of words between two or three posters, with no interest to the majority of members of the list. You will find that all those members who used to post on here when it was busy (and interesting) now post on CanalWorld. But just one thing of interest to this thread (to us oop north anyway) , we have several wide beam boats here, (being a wide canal, and having time to let each other through bridge holes etc. no matter what the width) yesterday I took the trouble to check the draft on them, the majority had a shallower draft than the narrowboats moored here. So no grapes sour or otherwise, just my personal opinion. Ken www.ukcanals.net
