You think that's bad!! Try coming on to The Lancaster, the self pump out at Galgate apparently has a different type of machine to any other BW machine, even though it's only a few years old, and you have to buy the cards from the marina office which is open Monday to Thursday 10 to 12 am. That's why most Narrow Boats on the Lancaster use Porta Pottis, it's free and a lot more likely to be emptyable.
