How to book a BSS, use a gas bubble tester and report pollution

[@mossy2209]

Your quiet progress is what we need in this messed up world. Love these programmes

[@ceeceety2320]

Absolutely!

[@wendyflanagan5738]

Echo that. So soothing and full of good vibes.

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

You just don't know how much you helped this household get through covid-19, all we had to do was peep over your shoulder again and there we were chugging along, enjoying it all with you.

[@RobbieCumming]

That means alot thank you

[@SLO-Ride]

Just a pointer: Always introduce fuel additives when you fill the tank. This allows the liquids to blend, for proper performance. Pouring the bug killer in by itself, will just let the additive settle into it's own "pool", and could be pumped into the engine at a much higher ratio than the engine can burn. Bug killer works on all places the fuel touches, so it is best to get as much mixed in as possible, for it to do as much good as possible. Oh! And, be sure you have a few extra fuel filters on hand, as the growth will slough off and start to clog lines and pumps.

Thank you Robbie for bringing this to me when I’m down . It really helps me.

Love the "Grumpy Old Gits Garden"!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Beautiful scenery. This is part of why we really like your channel. Life is not perfect. You show the real scenery, you are kind and sometimes poke fun at yourself. You show real pubs and honest daily life. However, you don’t whine about what just broke on your boat. What are you going to do to try to fix it, blah, blah, blah. Thanks Robbie!!!

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you Sharon that’s a lovely comment, made my day

[@SailingCartagena]

Quality, creativity and observation is what you offer. Innovation and novelty is not always necessary. You are appreciated.

[@wendyflanagan5738]

Ten out of ten for enjoyablity. Feeling more relaxed and thanks so much for the chat and joy.

[@stephengardiner9867]

OHO!...John Smith's... been a right while since I had a pint... not easy to find here in Canada. I prefer bitters pale ales and honest IPA's to the stouts BUT I do not dislike them either (there is a time and a place for all) we have a few fine stouts to be had over here as well. None of your "thin potations" (Fallstaff, I believe) but sturdy pints. I read, one time, an answer from a photographer to the question "what is your favorite camera"? The answer was "the one that I am holding at any given time". I feel much the same way about my favorite pint.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Hi Robbie. Good old Lister engines. Last for ever. I’ve come across many of different types working on various farms throughout my life.

[@ThePtb1980]

Lol never would have thought that would be what the music video for that song was. Mind blown!

[@KarrierBag]

I been away fro my boat for two weeks, came back to water in the bilge had a mental xmas, Oh Rhys does my BSS too, known him for a few years now, you have reminded me to pass his number onto a mate moored near by. Turning 40 this year, you young un you. Catch up soon xxxxx

[@johnmact5548]

Robbie. Last year I was in ICU and your channel cheered me up no end. Now I am back in ICU with that darn Covid bug. Keep them coming. John

[@billmc4673]

Very happy that the Naughty lass..passed her inspection..BUT!!..rather concerned and comforted that like me..(that those random things)...may come in useful again..one day..some situation..perhaps never..But imagine not being prepared..😅😅😂👍

[@jcurtis4082]

Awesome jams at 14:00. Love hearing the Lister. Keep cranking.

[@SailingCartagena]

A touch of the lugubrious in recent posts. I wonder at the solitary life, threading the network and entering a fifth decade. If you ever want a break in Portugal, a warm welcome awaits.

[@RobbieCumming]

There is a reason for that but not one I can share at the moment. What a lovely offer though thank you

[@milesdavenport2859]

Great way to end an evening. Cleaning the Lister and pub of the week :)

[@ColinOBear]

Five years in six months, phew! Am now up to date with your great vlogs Robbie. I've really enjoyed your presenting style, funny and informative at the same time. Best wishes for 2022! :)

[@RobbieCumming]

Well done that is some serious bilge-watching!!! Cheers!!

[@mattgunning]

Nice to still see some cooling towers from the old power stations, I used to live near Rugeley staffs on the Trent & Mersey the Lea hall power station A&B had 8 cooling towers and one drying tower all gone now 😢

Happy New Year Robbie. I'm glad you got your safety certificate. The examiner seemed to have a good attitude. Enjoyed your pub of the week. Looking forward to more of your adventures in 2022. Take care.

Hi fella , we saw your boat moored at Ferrybridge when you were there and a few days before when we came through Bingley 5 rise I spoke to Eddie Reader while she was site seeing at the top lock and I got her to sign my Nicholson’s guide

[@patriciagassor4497]

Lovely stretch of water, we loved traveling to York years ago via Aire & Calder and were even lucky enough to have witnessed the old coal barges still in operation up there off loading the coal, last time we went through there was very sad to see all the tug boats tied up with nowhere to go

[@paulayala4816]

Best wishes for the new year Robbie. Can't wait to see what you have going on for 2022. Rhys seemed like a nice guy. Here in CA we have to get our cars smogged every two years and most of the time the mechanics are not very happy or helpful. Seeing you working on your boat reminded me I need to spray some fogging oil down my carbs of my jetski.

[@1258-Eckhart]

Happy New Year Robbie. You are one of a small band of KZbinrs who are wholesome to watch. It does you good.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

When we bought our first boat (that was to become the Nuts n Volts) we were moored in castleford for a few weeks waiting for the boatyard (but that's another story) and we had a few - ok a fair few - pints in the Griffin. Cracking little pub. And ironically when we bought the boat it was moored in Brighouse, and as we had never boated before Dawn asked a boater who was coming through the lock if she could 'help' so they could show her how to do a lock - and that boater happened to be Rhys and his Mrs... its a small world.

[@RobbieCumming]

Amazing - we’re all connected you know!

Really enjoyed catching up on your recent activities as always.. My ol dad loved canal walks ..he never actually got to have one or ride on one, but its always been a fascination for the family... so its nice to live some of this this through your videos... keep on crankin.. Will you ever be able to travel around the Norfolk Broads? I imagine the access is a little difficult for the Naughty Lass, but is there anywhere left for you to explore?

Happy new year. On the subject of pub signs (around the drinking areas), one of the best I've seen was screwed to one corner section of the bar and it said "Bulls**t Corner" and having spent many an hour there and knowing most of the usuals who drank there, the sign was ludicrously accurate :)

Happy New Year, Robbie. Glad your old Naughty Lass got a good clearance report. On to more drifting down the canals, in a safe boat. Seems like you have a lot of "stuff" on the roof...besides a bin of wood and your wooden poles what is on there that we look over as you film? Stay well, you look great! 🎉🍀🌟

[@Wyrm1701]

Diesel bug IS a thing! I've twice had this in car diesel, both times from supermarket diesel. Basically, white smoke on starting after being parked overnight, not otherwise (for cars). What's going on is bacteria growing in water droplets in the diesel fuel. Biodiesel is more prone to this than mineral diesel, because of the chemical structure of it. To stop diesel bug, you need a detergent in the diesel. That makes water dissolve in the diesel oil, exactly same idea as washing up liquid, only that's making oil dissolve in water. Detergent in diesel makes life much harder for diesel bug bacteria. That additive will also have bacteria killer in it, not much because the detergent does most of the work. It'll also have injector lubricants, a surfactant to make diesel spray better (makes the injectors do a better job and the diesel burns cleaner) and a cetane booster to pep up the diesel power a bit. Which one to use? I dunno, I always used to use Miller's diesel treatment, but I dare say the treatments are much of a muchness. Keep some diesel cleaner handy as well; useful to clean things out in a hurry. Final thing, keep a spare fuel filter handy, diesel cleaning additive often frees up a load of muck out of the tank and that'll end up in the filter.

[@majordolbyscat]

Nice one Robbie. 👍 cunningly edited to make it a relaxed visit with you..... very skillful! Diesel bug is a thing but keeping your tank full and using that type of additives with be all you should have to do. That old lister will never let you down because of Diesel bug 🐛 Keep on cranking.....

Happy cranking New Year Robbie - have a great cruising year and keep your brilliant and entertaining vlogs coming. Ed Sheeran also played on top of a narrowboat through London! Via KZbin find his Acoustic Boat Sessions. There are three - 'The A-team', 'Lego House' & 'Small Bump'. But definitely watch The A-Team video between 1:13 & 1:34 - a pro in operation - though it could have been the end of his career!!!

Happy New Year Robbie, all the best for 2022. Diesel Bug is becoming a nuisance in the motor industry too, always replace the fuel filters regularly at scheduled times, any blockages will soon starve the components of fuel ( which also lubricates ) causing pumps and injector to seize. Keep up the great work......
