SquatNow, you're sailing a bit close to the wind with that comment....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

Its a pity you can't port your mortgage from a house to a boat, but I hear the market is not that buoyant at the moment. Okay, I'll bow out quietly...........0

Better bow out quietly before someone decides we are all 3 sheets to the wind and decks us, don't you think?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

I really can't fathom why you lot sink to such depths!
No need to go overboard with piracy of a thread.0 -
I suppose plumbing problems are many times worse on a boat - you either fill up or sink? :rotfl:0

Trying to keep things on an even keel, and at the risk of finding myself out of my depth, I too would really love to live on a barge.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

This exchange of pleasantries makes a refreshing change from the bilge that you can get in other threads though, not that you'd take on board anything that some posters say. All they do is post gybes at other folk, and then go off on another tack. We must stop - someone will barge in and get stern with us0

Ah but the tide can turn at any moment.
Come hell or high water you can be sure that someone will be along shortly with a parting shot across the bows to set us on another course.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

Oh, I've been trying to resist but......
......maybe a barge is a good place to live while we wait for our ship to come in............

Many may soon struggle to keep their heads sufficiently above the water. Would you say that the current housing market crisis means that we are on course for a boom in the boat market? Or is that theory just a load of rowlocks? I personally don’t have a clew about marine finance , but have always ‘ankered after living permanently on a boat. Is there a beam of hope or should I give the whole idea a wide berth?0
