Gnosall is handy for buses to transport us around..

Moored Gnosall, Shropshire Union Canal

Let me firstly thank you all for your comments on the last blog, I am pleased some listened to the interview on BBC Radio Shropshire, next time I will remember not to say errr or umm.. and to try and do it in a Pompey accent!!  Anyway thanks everyone!

I was asked a couple of blogs ago the colours of No Problem, so I will put that here this evening as the comments are getting a bit long.. for  Kevin, Debbie & Dawgs the paint colours are as follows..  International Toplac, the blue is 018 (I think.. there is paint down the side covering up the number a bit!) Mauritius Blue and the green is 077 Donegal Green.  I only know that today as we got the paint out of the bilge to paint up the bracket that will hold this…

Our new headlight!   I should be able to see going through the tunnels with this little beauty!  This came off a fire engine no less, a spotlight.  At the moment it is chrome, but I want the chrome taken off because underneath is brass.. I found it on ebay and put in a bid.  It was in the wrong section, so I got it for £100 instead of what I was expecting to have to pay around £250.. Officially known as a Francis Searchlight.  At the moment it is 240v, but can be changed back to the original 12v.  I might keep it at 240v and just have the inverter running when we are in a tunnel… just got to find someone to de-chrome it now.

Anyway it fits perfectly on the front of No Problem, all we need now is a tunnel to test it out! .. Tunnel, tunnel?  Don’t mention tunnels to me!

Been the dentist again today in Stafford.. Yuk.. but tomorrow it is off to London and The Dome.. good job I got an early train booked from Telford what with the tube strike, I guess it is going to be a bit crowded getting across to Greenwich, but then the other 19,997 people going to the concert are going to have the same problems!

Staying overnight in the city tomorrow before returning to No Problem on Thursday.. apparently the Dome concert hall is awesome.. heh, on the Ticketmaster website it says “Do not book tickets on level 4 if you have a fear of heights” Blimey that really does say something!

We (Me, daughter Wendie and Annie of Moore2Life) have some good seats on level 1 row 4, the block closest to the stage on the side facing the great man, he will be playing his red piano facing us.. can’t wait!
