Famous at last!

The outstandingly prestigious publication that is Waterways World asked me to gob off about narrowboat for their podcast last week.
Even Mike the Boilerman gets a mention!

If you'd like to know what it's like to live aboard, including what we do with our humanure, you can tune in following the link below.

Please excuse my yam-yam Black Country accent, which gets increasingly broad as the interview persists. I was hoping for Peaky Blinders but sounded more like Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

Enjoy!

Before Mike ever gets a mention, it's a peon to the boating life!

Paean?
I think a peon is a some sort of peasant labourer/share cropper :)

Ha! That would be interesting!
In fact we had the boat stretched - essentially cut in half and an extra 11ft of living/office space added in. A watery cut-and-shunt if you will!

So pleased you added the extra letter to 'shut" rather than "cut" :D

Hi Tony
Just finished listening to your podcast and thoroughly enjoyed it. I remember you from fool.co.uk about 15 years ago.

Thanks

THanks John.

I'm not as prolific these days, but I do turn up here every now and again to make a nuisance of myself.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Tony, pop in from time to time so may have missed it but the last time I visited you were off to Tenerife or somewhere to start a new business/life?

Great Podcast.

Thanks nimnarb. :-)

That's still a work in progress. We're off to the Canaries for a month later in the year on a recce, and that looks like becoming a reasonably frequent opportunity. To be honest, though, our journey from Leeds to Gloucester during the post-lockdown sunshine spree will take some beating. It's been fabulous!

Catch you again soon I'm sure.
