Aye,,up Andy,, its all work ,n, not much play oop Yorkshire  , got a fleet of hire boats,,both holiday and day trippers to look after plus private boats to service and repair including lifting at least two a week out of the water and cleaning and re,blacking the hulls
So I,m living on a borrowed boat at the dock andi,v just bought an old boat to live on when I,v refurbished it  sort of a classic restoration as it was built in 1971 ,,lol

Hi Mike. Nice to know you are still about and sounds like you've got yourself an interesting job with somewhere to stay.

And one really big ship H.M.S Belfast. If they were to fire her forward turret guns, which are pointed north over London the shells would land 11.7 miles away on the London Gateway Motorway Services. After eating there once its probably the best thing they could for the place. I have just realised this picture was taken in 2012. If you look closely you can see the Olympic Rings suspended from Tower Bridge.

Thames barges - beautiful!  How old are these pictures?  There's not many genuine ones left.

2012 BG. Most of these are the later ones that were saved. some are made out of steel but you still get wooden ones that have been restored.
If I won the Euro millions I would buy one like a shot.
