Non cruising day surplus

Today we aim to visit MCC for a personal check on the electrical rectifications for Tardis Two, comforted in the knowledge that, even if the boat had been fixed, we would not have commenced cruising yet due to the adverse recent weather .Very gusty high winds, rain and low temperatures are far from ideal on a narrowboat. We have yet to set out as scheduled since Tardis Two was first launched in 2013, due to my or the boat's ill health. You can now add weather to that list.

We had to wait several hours for attention at MCC as Eddie was busy in meetings and no-one else could provide information on Tardis Two repairs. Eventually Eddie provided us with the same old bull###t, inferring it was our fault and once again recommending we only open the fridge once per day ( the old jokes are always the best ). However, under pressure he offered to leave the boat under only battery power overnight and will check the systems again in the morning (he has only had the bloody boat 6 days) so it is obviously top priority. We will check with him in the morning, without any great anticipation. 

Legal action looms, first via Trading Standards in Derby, with a letter and supporting documentation already prepared. Sad but true.
