To cut a long story short I thought I would treat the Mrs to a pleasant and slow trip along the wonderful waterways we have in this country.
The canal boat operator have written a stiff and strongly worded letter to say I’m responsible for the damage to the boat by the engine blowing up and the excessive fuel, as they fill up it pre departure then calculate the amount of fuel used at the return date at the marina, any advice would be greatly received and appreciated.
They have also sent an invoice for the hole in the floor, the broken lounge seat and a broken loo seat.
Every Sunday on LBC they have a legal hour phone in at 9pm could maybe try give that a go see if you get on there.long shot I know.
Otherwise proybe a no win no fee solicitors or something
Legal hour could be a Saturday they have consumer hour one night legal hour next night ..is a good listen and he seems to know his stuff.
Worth a listen to just educate yourself a bit
Just to note the listing on the boat in the holiday snap was from the crates of food we had to take.
As a back up plan we had the phone numbers of the takeaways that deliver canal side, for 4 Domino’s pizza’s , 5 dirty kebabs and a few Big Mac’s arrived piping hot by a lad from Azerbaijan on his bike.
I did bring a few boxes of ratchet straps but the most annoying thing was some dirty old men were wolf whistling at the girls in their slender line designer bikinis.
They got the beached whale jocularity and the Titanic jokes didn’t go down too well either.
She was a model in her youth, admittedly not exactly a Jennifer Anniston,Jennifer Lopez or a Demi Moore but can bake a brilliant Victoria sponge with no soggy bottom.
