Trevor.

A chancer comes  a-calling.

Do you want to buy some logs mate? asks the man knocking on the roof - that is covered in logs - Err no thanks we are fine.

Off he goes then.
As a business opportunist he might be missing a vital point, there are so many trees down around here due to the past gales, every boater who lives aboard and moves even  a little bit is overloaded with wood. 

I must admit though that the way the subbies deal with the fallen trees by carving them into lumps and dumping them on the towpath seems a bit dubious.

We are not allowed to use boats to remove the wood due to health and safety rules says the man with the chainsaw - who is decidedly lacking in a life jacket, ear defenders and goggles - so we leave the wood for the boaters to clear.

Those boaters would be us CC'ers then.
Unpaid clearers for the subbies we might be,  but there is no way we are going to turn down free fuel.
Catch 22 springs to mind.



Until next time......................
