Relieved to see that the woman isn't the posh Kent totty from Gogglebox

yep many thanks for posting the video link; great bit of Old England there, if it might suggest so.

The independence shown and self reliance of those 'on board' dwellers is most heartening to be sure.

Viewing those inter-cut scenes from an earlier River Thames and those Up River shore side establishments, Chiswick, Strand on the Green, Hammersmith, etc etc, brought back many memories of those River Side hamlets.

Thank you again thamesS23

Hey does one have to pay council tax living on these ?

 

[Niander]

So no one knows?

So no one knows?

I believe you do, I've certainly heard of the Council chasing live-aboards in Oxfordshire to pay council tax.

Doesn't it depend on the mooring? Residential moorings attract council tax, unofficial residential moorings maybe get away with it?
