Julian, Cruising from Milton Keynes to just short of Uxbridge, via Wendover Arm is not in my vocabluary as "Shufling" I would call that cruising, or making a journey. I then return along the same route, which takes me most of the cruising season. The journey extended this year to Little Venice. Is this "shufling" too?
I would define "Shuffling" as "Bridge Hopping or pub to pub" as some people call it. Overstaying, due to machanical breakdown(s) is/are not overstaying but "Breakdowns" which were experienced earlier this year by me and NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY THE "GESTAPO". BW were informed of the situation, so I told the warden (Singlular in this case ~~~~ To f&%^ Off ~~~~~ I REPEAT IT IS FOR THEM (THE GESTAPO WARDENS) TO REPORT, NOT TO HASSLE! ~Allan~ PS: I am led to believe that the warden that I was specifically refering to was repairing one of their doors, owing to someone kicking it in!! And NO, it wasn#t me but I did have a little chuckle to myself when I heard the comment.
