I’m envious … I did Christmas on board about fifteen years ago and really enjoyed it. We cooked a brace of pheasants and drank a lot of red wine, moored up on the Staffie near Stourport as I remember. Happy days!

Red wine, did you fall in■■? :wink:

The narrowboat should - with luck - happen in the next year or two. I see you’ve nearly moved onto yours … how’s it going?

Will move aboard permanently sometime in 2015, for now just spending every free moment on board, took this pic about two hours ago, diesel tank full, water tank full, fridge and cupboards rammed full of food and alcohol, we’ll be untying and pushing off at first light tomorrow, good luck with your plans wherever they take you!

That sounds like bliss to me

Hi Pimpdaddy

Hi yoyo5:lol::lol::lol:

What I did learn to do was run a transport company and try to turn a profit, Having read many posts in the past I can tell you that if you was to listen to the average Driver on how the office should be run, then you be skint within the month. It really is a tight juggling game to make transport pay

Ok I understand, how about high staff turnover, why do some outfits not seem too bothered?

Hi Pimpdaddy,
I always hated losing drivers, because you need good guys around to make it work. I always thought that companies that had a big turnover had to have problems as you say they do not seem to care. My take on it is if you ( the company ) don’t care then how can you expect the Drivers to give a S**t… Enjoy the rest of xmas.,.,. AJ.
