If you have a fuel pump laying around you can use it to siphon the fuel out without drinking it.

I think you can take it to the household recycling centre or have lots of BBQ😂. Petrol is lighter than diesel so it should be on top when siphoning off leaving diesel on the bottom. Once you removed enough petrol, you can just top it up with diesel and keep it top up until you get rid of all the spoiled fuel.

Why don't you siphon most of the fuel out first then it will only be a small amount to drain.

Belated birthday wishes to you Jim.

We were anchored around nab tower about 10 years ago and a trawler trawled thru our anchor wrap and towed us for about 1/2 a mile before they could stop. Our skipper radioed, shouted, and even chucking leads onto the boat (that's how closed they were). There was no one in the wheelhouse.

Anyone noticed how the sunlight highlighted the right t*t? No I don't mean Harry 🤣

Do you service accurate reels? I usually drop them off (6 at a time, so won't risk postal services) to Dave and pick them up at a later date.

And I found the perfect place to put the anchor once it's up😁

Even tho it had been expected but still a shock. Rip my friend.

I believe it was developed by a dentist, when started fixing things at home with his dental glue from work.

Wandering how many people will change their password to incorrect just for a laugh😁

Happy birthday Martin, forget the glass just have the whole bottle

Saw this news about ham sandwich on the Dutch border https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/11/dutch-officials-seize-ham-sandwiches-from-british-drivers Can't stop but think does it mean you can catch and keep any fish when going to Cherbourg if the French acts as strict as the Dutch?

In that case, most of the population here have been vaccinated over Xmas😂

Suppose it all depends on how quickly they can vaccinate the population in Guernsey and Alderney.

Surely it will come under category green house instead of boats😁

If the catch are landed in the UK, taxes would be paid into the UK coffer, isn't it? Also he UK would have control over the yearly quota. They can increase or reduce the quota according to research.

I don't see how it's seizing their property. If the boat is UK registered it surely can still catch fish after the 1st of January, only it can only land fish in the UK (if that's how it works), they still catch x amount of fish, only difference is it can only be sold in a UK fish auction market before it can be exported. Yes, they will put punitive tariff on seafood, but end of day it's about economic numbers, if import seafood becomes expensive, i can't see EU caught seafood being sold at the "same" price as they are now, it's human nature to be greedy, so ppl will up their prices just below the UK prices, that's if those types of seafood are as readily available in the EU shores as they are in the UK shores. For those types there are only small fishery in the EU, their only choices are either go without or put up with the higher price. With the smaller uk market seafood might be become cheaper as less competition for them with the smaller fishing fleet that we have or/and less demand on the fishery and gives them a better chance to recover. Might not be a bad thing in he shorter terms, unless you are a fisherman.

Whatever quota it will be, if the boat is British registered, it will have the rights to land fish. Unless the government can make catches made in UK waters can only be landed in the UK.

Can comment on private boats but I'm sure club members are very conservation minded and return young fish. However I've seen anglers along anything legal.

Is it me or there seems to be lot more codlings being caught than previous years?

Thank you for the reply. Put it this way, you wouldn't want her to be your tax inspector. She wanted original bank statements, no pdf, no printout. Who has paper statements nowadays? Money trail going back 4 properties........ I rang the auctioneer who recommended her firm, complained to him about her, i think he'd spoken to her firm and she now needs fewer paperwork and much more accommodating. At least it's sorted out now, was losing sleep worrying I might be kissing my 32k deposit goodbye

Just wanna know has the money laundering law been updated since mar 2019? Not that I have anything to hide ( maybe from the missus😁). In the process of buying a house, the solicitor involves is being very "thorough", instead of just checking the fund is all legal, she's going thru everything with a fine tooth comb. I last bought a house back in mar 19 and the solicitor we used wasn't like that.

What's the point of having a big wallet, only full of moths 😁
