For one exciting second I confused narrow boat and long boat.

Wouldnt mind living on a boat, although himself says we're too big to have a narrow boat, we'd have to have a Dutch barge Laughing


Maybe a bit cold, in the water all the time, I remember working near paddington basin and all the boats were iced into place, brrrr!!

Not sure about the "head", either: they always seem awfully small ... Shifty

I have a thing about canals/narrowboats. Love towpath walks and lock pubs. Always get a lot of pleasure out of such a simple thing.

Fun holiday, I wouldn't live on one again. It's basically a hole in the water you pour money into Laughing
