Surely health and happiness are more important than whose blog is better than whose, and if you don't like one, stop reading it and find one you do like!<BR/><BR/>Also, speaking as a fellow boater, we aren't running 2 or 3 cars per household (we used to be guilty of that) we now use good old leg power and I'm sure there can't be any pollution in that! We produce all of our own electricity (by the natural source of wind power whenever possible)and I am fairly sure we are far more economical in our every day use of water.<BR/><BR/>I think it is time to let this arguement go, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there is no need for it to get personal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-21202359616104172292007-12-14T20:51:00.000+00:002007-12-14T20:51:00.000+00:00Oh Sue you are taking a chance reading a lifeless ...Oh Sue you are taking a chance reading a lifeless blog and eroding the banks with your wash, polluting the canal with your washing machine...annon is not gonna like it.

It cost over 5 billion pounds to put this line in to Paris.. Plus, of course, the cost of restoring the station. That I don't begrudge, it is part of our history.<BR/><BR/>The trains may well be underused, and it is said that the use might be as little of one quarter of the capacity.<BR/><BR/>For sure, I am not a 'European Union' Supporter.. so can't see the need to visit Paris in 2hrs whatever minutes, MY money, being a tax payer, has saved just 20 minutes off that journey I believe! Sheeeeeeesh!<BR/><BR/>Solar Panels.. I am not sure. How long will it take to save enough on diesel to pay for the panels? Debateable! Anyway, our roof is covered in logs which saves about £8 a week in coal... oh minus the petrol to chop 'em up!<BR/><BR/>Oh By the way, Don't you think the canals need dredging badly? I am finding more and more that No Problem is eroding the banks because they are so shallow, I can't go slow enough not to cause a wash sometimes..<BR/><BR/>But also of course, the towpaths are becoming muddier and muddier as they are not maintained either. The mud washing into the canal from them is as bad as the mud coming out of my jeans after they been put in my washing machine! <BR/><BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911045617767626806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-23337630513685072972007-12-11T19:10:00.000+00:002007-12-11T19:10:00.000+00:00PS to aboveHave you read Sue`s comment on Nov 25 "...PS to above<BR/>Have you read Sue`s comment on Nov 25 "MY BLOG"Les Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-26727543261255458682007-12-11T18:58:00.000+00:002007-12-11T18:58:00.000+00:00Hi AnnonThe website you list is published by a goo...Hi Annon<BR/>The website you list is published by a good friend of mine Sue.<BR/>It is a completly different type of blog so cannot help me to inject life into mine.<BR/>At the moment i am into the author Linda La Plant the reason being i like the way she writes so just to spell it out for you, seek an author you like and read it.Les Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-37211579701414649362007-12-11T18:52:00.000+00:002007-12-11T18:52:00.000+00:00Hi AnnonOnly water from washing etc goes overboard...Hi Annon<BR/>Only water from washing etc goes overboard, perfectly legal.<BR/>Don`t know what you mean by "and more" if you mean sewage this is all disposed of at proper sanitary stations along the canal system.<BR/>Who said i don`t cause pollution,every person on this earth does.Just think there are less boats than cars, lorries etc.<BR/>Me get a life, well thanks matey but i`ve got a great life can i scence envy?Les Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-55460603322574048362007-12-09T18:42:00.000+00:002007-12-09T18:42:00.000+00:00Have a read of the website below, it may inspire y...Have a read of the website below, it may inspire you to inject some life into your own website <BR/><BR/>Retirement with No ProblemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-81540367412074942312007-12-08T22:17:00.000+00:002007-12-08T22:17:00.000+00:00you just erode the banks with your wash and empty ...you just erode the banks with your wash and empty dirty water and more back into the system, not polluting "get a life man"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-33570291983872589822007-12-08T15:53:00.000+00:002007-12-08T15:53:00.000+00:00Hi AnnonYes i agree the whole site is impressive b...Hi Annon<BR/>Yes i agree the whole site is impressive but as all the shops have yet to open perhaps in time some seating will be installed.Les Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-39829618598246700582007-12-07T22:47:00.000+00:002007-12-07T22:47:00.000+00:00In spite of your observation that there are no sea...In spite of your observation that there are no seats by the meeting place statue, it is a very impressive looking piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-89483901998860019722007-12-07T00:43:00.000+00:002007-12-07T00:43:00.000+00:00Bet the air around my boat is fresher than around ...Bet the air around my boat is fresher than around your car.The engine in my boat is the same as fitted in a small Mitsubishi car. The difference is the canals are at most times away from the pollution of the streets and i don`t queue at lights etc or share my road with thousands of other polluters. A boat engine travels at very low revs so is not pumping out to much pollution.<BR/>So be honest the air along the canal must be fresher.Les Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-44767428708199843912007-12-05T16:14:00.000+00:002007-12-05T16:14:00.000+00:00Breathing in fresh air?
