Good little vlog Will & Leon nice work cleaning the weeding witch should have been done by the ones that cut it, tell Leon too send them a bill for his work, 👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👌
Another colourful video there Will. The branch is very picturesque but underused really given where it goes to. Excellent turn at Burscough under the entrance bridge. Regards. Paul.👍
Weeds in the cut, pot holes in the road! And hiked up supermarket prices!! Just another day in wills world! (Oh and not forgetting the obligatory rain!!)😆👍👍
Awwww so soz for you with the rain think we all sick of it and say with us till at least mid Leon may grrrrrr glad Leon back with you make life a little easier love the song ofskylrks tc now both tiller man too The oldies 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Everyone said the locks were hard down there but found them no worse than other wide locks to be honest. Swing bridges were a pain in the bum solo though! Nice to see it again 👍
Hey Will what a great vlog the weather has been and is still awful this year. I bet your glad Leon is back he is such a good help. Anyway buddy catch up with you guys next time. 😀😀😀😀😀
I remember that sunny day 😂 Me and my friend have been to a DIY store this afternoon and the lock priced at £13.00 was £30 at the till🥴,same process and the price as marked .Result 👍
Great to watch you supervising your apprentice Leon 😂😂😂 He’s getting to be master boater like yourself 😂😂 The potholes are horrendous, I’ve recently damaged my car suspension too 🤯 Be positive Will👍👍
@@NarrowboatWill Tonga south West Pacific! Two years ago Will. If it's true, who or what made the vulcano erupt. I think it's more likely cloud seeding, a lot of people think it's a conspiracy but you only have to look up. 😉
It was good to meet you in Burscough! (I walked with you to the station as you and Leon were headed out for golf.) We're now on the Rufford. The locks were hard going, but the weather was stunning! Can't wait to hear how the crossing on the link went! Geraldine xx
Hello there. It was nice to meet you too. The mooring at Rufford is lovely. The weather is good now. The crossing was a bit tough. Stay tuned to find out why. 🤣🤣🤣
Great vlog Will hope you enjoy the link did it many years ago on a friends Norman 23 ,I'm now back on the Lanky and I thought I'd let you know as far as I know the only canal side diesel apart from petrol stations is Moons Bridge there's a newish marina near Bilsborow but I'm unsure about that , Filty thumbs up take care.😊
As far as store prices, yep, I find it hard to believe that it's not a tactic these stores use because they know the majority of people will not check to make sure they are paying the advertised prices. Here in the states, health insurance companies do it as well. They will deny a claim that should be covered because they know that statically, most people will not contest it. It may be just a few dollars or even less but, multiply that by hundreds of thousands of customers and you're talking a lot of money. ....... Ok, I'll step down off my soap box now. Sorry for the rant on an otherwise cheery, uplifting NarrowboatWill vlog. 😁
@@NarrowboatWill Integrity and honor are sorely missing these days, even ridiculed as being weak. Unfortunately, it has become accepted and even encouraged to put profit over people. We aren't employee's anymore, we are assets that are bought at the lowest price possible, demand the maximum amount of output out of while putting in the bare minimum of money and resources possible to keep us running. ... well $hit, sorry but you got me on my soap box again...lol...
I was just typing 'Sky lark' as your brain activated 🤣😂 they always remind me of walks with my Dad when I was a little Pirate and him explaining what different birds were and things around me. I am sure you can claim from the Council if your vehicle gets damaged by a pot hole, would need photos etc though, maybe more hassle than its worth.
The pot hole was full of water. To stop and get a photo, then prove it was that it was just too much hassle Tim. Skylarks are a good sign of warm weather for me..👍👍
Nice one. You 2 them are the worst 7 locks that we've ever done hard work to do. Can't believe you didn't make that Junction in one move.😂 We used it as a winding hole . Filthy thumbs up 👍👍 Great vlog as always, pal
Hi will yet another stunning video from you . You have a tendency to make them interesting and informative and a pleasure to watch. At the very least you show exactly what life is like living on the canals.. You have always shown the upside and downside of life on the canals. Will you mentioned pot hole damage to vehicles.?? Perhaps people are unaware that the council in the area it occurred are responsible for the repair bill.for your vehicle. They carry insurance for pot hole damage.to vehicles..a ruler to show the depth of the hole and a few photos..and put in a claim for damages.??? People are not doing this that is why councils are not fixing the pot holes in Thier areas.. Anyway will keep smiling mate I noticed that Leon is with you on your journeys.. which is always nice to see. Families have a tendency to drift apart these days.. however this is only my option based on what I have seen over the years. The place I am now living are mostly . retired older people..who only get family visiting them on their birthday or at Christmas.. Its sad to watch ..if only they knew how lonely they are perhaps they would make the effort to visit them more.. Anyway will. This is only my opinion.. keep safe and well mate.
Hello Wayne. I bet the council would give me the run around. The hole was full of water and I couldn't stop anywhere. I shall do it myself at some point. It's not too bad. Brand new shocks are 70 odd quid. It's handy having Leon on weed. 🤣🤣
@NarrowboatWill not here will I'm trying to get farm packed up pretty you are not near me I could have given you some coal in ,my bunker it half full pt
know what you mean about driving , my hubby hates it as well , too many potholes & cameras & police camera vans as well , that was a hell of alot of weed that leon pulled out ,& on top of that pouring down with rain , Lovely NOT .
That pricing fiasco is always happening at the Co Op too. Really angry about being charged totally different price from the label on the shelf. I'm sure they do it on purpose.
First off... A big filfy Fums Up. Now about pricing. The biggest culprit is Morrisons with all the others prone to it and you have to watch them like a hawk. Aldi are equipped with clever centrally programmed electronic price tags on their shelves which makes a positive difference. I never rush my buying as I walk around with a notepad and pen and I log everything I put into the trolley and the price. I add up as I go along. Long winded I know, but I'm ready for when I'm checking out. So far I've yet to find the pricing problem in Aldi, but Morrisons.... Oh my goodness! I'm 73 and they even age challenged me once when I bought some drinks. To be fair, it was a very young girl, obviously working strictly on orders
There was me, thinking I'd never be able to do locks on my own... and that was just getting through them on a normal day... not clearing a load of weeds (and whatever the H it was) beforehand! I was right. Nope! Rain rain, go away... then come back before or after cruising hours preferably? That's the rain sorted for you now. You're welcome. 😅
Clouds part, sky is littered, clouds back lol. It's like an oops moment behind the theatre curtain. As for Morrisons I actually complained to head office a few years ago. After noticing every time we went the prices were wrong. I genuinely think it's an on purpose policy. We started to go a lot less but whenever we do purely for convenience as it's the nearest store. I'd say 99% of the time something costs more at the till than the shelf price says. Tbh it's an automatic thing to take photos of the shelf price so the cashier says no that's the cost. So I can just say, really?! Mind I literally only go now if its nearly 10pm and I need a shop quick. Never had that experience happen at anywhere but Morrisons 🤷
Hi William. I have a question . My boat has a bmc 1800 engine with a prm gear box. Last time I took the bolt of gear box to check oil level the dip stick had fallen into the gear box. Has not caused any problem but do you know the distance from bolt to correct oil level? Bit random I know
