Hire boats
Trad boat owners who look down their nose's at you just cos your boat has a smooth running engine that doesn't rattle your teeth loose and take up four square foot of valuable space.
People who buy and mouth off about Eco type cleaning agents
Any product with the brand name EcoVer on it. Double the price and crap not 'fit for purpose' ****e.
People who chuck Tesco trolleys in canals
People who chuck plastic carrier bags in canals.
Last week I thought that the boat was not being quite a sperky and responsive as it should be, so got down into the weed-hatch. I discovered; (and I tell no lie) 1 Tesco, 1 Sainsbury's, 1 Somerfield and 1 plain white supermarket carrier bags wrapped around the prop! All of these bags were held tightly in place by a red dog's lead (minus a dog). Took me ages to cut them all off and I admit to getting myself a little worked up over it, I sincerely hope that that dog's lead was not simply discarded and was in fact there due to an unfortunate incident, that would make me feell a little better and a little bit worse at the same time.
