do you pay council tax on BARGE ?

[jasoncsking]

Depends. I continuously cruise and never stay anywhere for more than two weeks. Therefore I don't live in any one council's area for long enough to have to pay. If I had a permanent mooring I would have to pay.

is it true that your not allowed to drive a dutch barge on a canal only rivers??

[jasoncsking]

No that's not true.

Never heard of it/him/them. What's the name of the tune? I have to buy it. There shouldn't be any objection since you are generating sales, if you just tell me what album to buy. I have to have it, it's beautiful. Nice boat too :-)

[jasoncsking]

I don't know, sorry!

@jasoncsking Finally, after all these years, I've found it! It's from The Red Crow, it's called Tommy Bhetty's Waltz

Dear Sir,

Are you Dutch, like your narrow-boat?  If so, ...Dag M'Vriend!! Thank you for this splendid video. If you ever cross the channel & explore some of de Nederland inland-waterways, let me know !!!

Best of Very Good Luck,

FW

I wanted to look inside the boat to see what your living conditions are like.

It's a tune by Altan (I probably shouldn't be using it!) and I felt it fitted the slowly drifting mood.
