    Free stuff

    Having a clear out so have some stuff to give away. Would need to be collected from near Reading/Henley. A selection of books and a folding boarding ladder.

    Badly behaved Narrowboat owner

    He is on Twitter, I am amazed he hasn't been massacred on there.

    Badly behaved Narrowboat owner

    What a 24 carat cretin with plenty of attitude too. An arrogant and ignorant low-life who shouldn't be on the river. He will get his comeuppance. I wouldn't have been anywhere near as polite as the person in the video

    Thames boat speed

    So we run boats that measure speed in knots. We live in the UK where other speed is measured in miles per hour, but the speed limit on the river is 8kph. Can someone please explain this? Thank you.

    Mooring in Henley

    It's a regular stopping off place for me, or used to be. The last few times I have tried to moor on the public moorings at the park, I have been thwarted by selfish pillocks who consider it ok to take up at least 2 boat lengths. Sometimes it's by leaving a dinghy or rib tethered to the stern...

    Spending a year or two on the Thames

    Good to know, thanks. Was heading up there next week and planning to go to just that spot. Is it better further up towards Marsh Lock?

    Thames fixer for electrics

    Sadly I need an alternative as Steve hasn't responded to me. I have tried to contact him a few times and have been very happy with his work in the past. He just doesn't seem to be around.

    Is there a Well stocked chandlery on the upper Thames?

    There's the one at Kennet and Avon but I've never found it particularly well-stocked. Has anybody tried these guys?: https://www.readingmarinechandlery.co.uk/ Phill - I'm guessing you are at Harleyford - we moved there last July.
