Is it true you can't shoot scroat's who break into your boat, steal all your food and booze. Nick a tool box. And break cupboard locks because they are so thick they cannot figure out how to press a button and release the catch. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! |

we have reported the damage to the police and have since had the neighbourhood watch officer round who then went and carried out a door to door to ask if anyone saw anything but to no avail.we did not know about boat-watch but will look into it tonight.
thank you for all your help. |

Careful Mr M! Don't spoil my amusement! That filter was worse before I played about with it! |

Yep, it's a dumbass filter. It took me a while to work out what you meant! |

Does anyone know of a canopy maker in the St Neots area as I have some bushiness to put his way?
Have you reported it to Cambs police - quoting Boasorrych?
--edit
I cant believe the profanity filter did that!! I thought it was me fingers!!!!
That should of course read B o a t w a t c h.

Ours was repaired via Jones Boatyard in St Ives. They farm it out to a local lady who charged a ridiculously low price for restitching the whole lot and replacing the windows. This was probably 5 years ago so things might have changed but definitely worth phoning them to ask. |

Andy chapman of ac coachtrimmings bedford is quite good and I've heard good reports about titan canopies, don't know the numbers offhand.
Andy tends to take ages though.

Hi Adi,
yes they have cams,but I am not sure when it happened, several weeks since last visit. Where my boat was moored i don't think it was just a chance theft, I feel it was an inside job. I have my suspicions... |
