No Problem’s problems

For those of you kind enough to have asked me what’s happened to No Problem (pictured in April last year) then Sue, Vic, Lucy & Meg are temporarily landlubbers while a refit takes place.

I’m sure there will be more blogs to explain what has happened - but please note their (temporary?) change of address to No Problem Blog.

I’m sure Sue will get around to replying to everyone who has contacted them direct once she gets sorted out.

Liverpool Canal Link

A business trip took me to Liverpool today, and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see how the Liverpool Canal Link was progressing.  There lots of concrete along a very bland channel.

It’s almost complete and I managed to catch a shot of the BW boat on a demonstration run with staff on board.  I wonder when the grand opening will be.

See more of the photos in the gallery and see the video in our earlier blog.

Postage prices are going up on 6th April 2009.

The increases are significant, with the cost of a stamp for posting a DVD going by 12p from 78p to 90p within the UK and even more for posting to Europe and the Rest of the World.

The cost of a regular first class stamp goes up from 36p to 39p.

Order by 5th April from our full range of DVDs and you’ll benefit from the lower postage rates.
