Universal wage for everyone

No boat again! heavy winds and mucho rain. No newspapers tomorrow then.

I'm just half soaked anyway!

Is it for tax purposes?

Try living here on the IOM, they introduced a toilet tax a few years ago!

On the narrow boats the old fellas always swore not to wear waterproof long coats because of the water dripping on their legs. They reckoned that a few layers with a thick outer long coat was just fine, one drying, one wearing. That's probably why I'm suffering sooooo much with arthritis! lol

Smell very quickly goes as soon as it dries. How often depends how often you are in very wet conditions. If boots are used every day in ordinary damp then once a week, once a fortnight or so keeps them nice and supple. Really pay attention to where the top meets the sole.

I lived on the west Midland, Shropshire border a long while ago. Where are you in the midlands?

As I understand it WD is not made from mineral oil. I use it as a water-proofer and preservative on all my footwear except slippers. I even use it on my leather cap!

It's a hard life for some!

Leather boots.........WD40.............totally waterproof!

My 15yr old boots are still going strong.......of coursed the stainless screws screwed into the soles help.

Cancelled boat, 55 mph wind, pretty normal really. lol.

I always use insoles made out of carpet.......voila! warm feet and if you get it the right way round it helps stop your socks riding down.
