I remember one of them doing it. It was usually John Noakes. He inspired many youngsters to try some exciting pastimes. Though he was never insured he found out after he left the programme.

I very vaguely remember it, would have been around 4 years old. Remember more clearly him going up Nelson's Column.

Here's a press report on him doing HMS Ganges: PressReader.com - Digital Newspaper & Magazine Subscriptions

Yep! Remember that - and a large portion of Fuck That for a Laugh for me

The mooring is the key there. There are many barges of that size converted in Europe. The EU used to have a scheme to pay owner/operators to take them out of service and replace them with newer larger river ships. To get the money the barges had to be cut up for scrap or converted so they couldn’t be used for freight which meant people could pick them up for the scrap price. Those days are gone. But have left loads of conversions.

That is pretty good value for the location. dreams

It's only a bit more than three-bedroom flats in far worse locations would cost you. As far as the crazy London house market prices go, it's pretty damn good!

Except I assume you can't get a mortgage for a boat so you'd have to pay in cash. Plus £7k a year service charge.

I know you can get bank loans to buy boats, although if they are "live-aboards" it might be more like a mortgage.
Something to investigate.

Permanent mooring, with that spec in that part of London? That's a bargain.

Take my mon....oh.

I haven't got any.

There are specific bank loans you can get, as rightly noted you can't get a mortgage on a boat.

I am not a boat person but would love that. I see no stamp duty is payable on boats which would be a huge saving. On the down side, I believe boats have to come out of the water every year or two for inspection and repair. That won't be cheap.
Where did you say would lend me the cash?

Yeh, but Band A council tax for some reason. The gf’s old place was only about a quarter of that size but Band D. Wonder how they wangled that one?

There's is no doubting cars are bad for the environment.

We have always been a bit trepidatious boarding most Greek ferries over the years.
Hope all those missing are found safe very soon.

I've just sent someone out to deal with that, have asking him to bring me back a grey one. Would rather blue but reckon grey will show the fire damage least...

They've done well to get that fire under control really. Must be like a floating BBQ.
