We wouldn't want to lose the lovely old traditional boats..... but they aren't the ones that pump fumes at us. :)<br />EllyElly and Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859027125314402207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849606427437002017.post-59434869677252539242013-07-22T01:20:52.752+10:002013-07-22T01:20:52.752+10:00Hi Elly.

The introduction of a 'boat M.O.T' to test boat diesel engines for emissions would wipe out over 95% of narrowboat engines from current use, and render all those beautiful old traditional ones as scrap overnight. In the great scheme of things the amount of pollution from a boat engine on a canal is negligible, and as for the safety aspect, the Boat Safety Scheme already takes care of that. There are many of us canal boaters who believe that the sound (and smell) of a traditional old diesel boat engine chugging by is a joy to behold.Peter Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941073132300695291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849606427437002017.post-56099919108651242112013-07-21T01:26:43.446+10:002013-07-21T01:26:43.446+10:00Hi Tom,

We're just not in a good spot here.<br /><br />But... funnily enough... I just spent 15 minutes trying it in every possible location and I have a single spot that gets a weak signal! I should have been more patient on Thursday when I tried this process.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />EllyElly and Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859027125314402207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849606427437002017.post-57873223939347875252013-07-20T20:01:25.113+10:002013-07-20T20:01:25.113+10:00Goodness me Elly I'm pleased I don't have ...Goodness me Elly I'm pleased I don't have a 'goggle' as it sounds unreliable and painful! Of course some people use a 'dongle' and hang it out the cabin window on a usb extension lead! :-) :-)<br /><br />TomTom and Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277996736846008000noreply@blogger.com
