One guy today was bragging he had got a new boat off Fleabay. £311!! Why. It had sunk and was at the bottom of the River Weaver. He had it raised (£1000) "fixed" the engine, jetwashed it and repaired all the electrics ("I know about these things) .
It broke down in the lock
I flushed him out by opening the sluices and sent him careering down the river
