Do you mean Apply Bridge or Appleby Bridge?

That upmarket narrow boat looks like a rust bucket on close inspection you’re taking the mick La

WN1, This is Appley Bridge, near to Parbold. Appleby is in Cumbria and Apperley Bridge is in Yorkshire. These are Wigan photos on this site.

It’s close enough for Mick WN1.

Irene I think WN1 was referring to the mis-spelling on the photo not the location.
Lovely photo by the way.

Thanks Pat. Apologies, WN1....I had taken your comment literally.

That rust bucket could come in very useful…..

Howfen John, it's the lovely narrowboat mooring, that's lovely, it's got a lovely boardwalk, lovely grass paddock with lovely picnic benches.
Don't get sucked into making trouble making silly comments for your howfun friend.

With that degree of rust I’d find it difficult to sleep Veronica,Ozy would make good use of the scrap metal,having said that I would get the boat inspected as they already do and re paint as it’s got to beeee perrrrfect.

Mick I’ve passed that location many times and totally agree with what you’re saying about the mooring and the boat could be made good but wouldn’t let my granddaughters sleep in it overnight.

Don’t worry John he can only confront women never confronts the men.

Don't talk daft John.

Comment by: Veronica on 28th June 2025 at 21:13

It’s ok for Mick to “ talk daft” John so you say what you think - nowt wrong with that lad.

Comment by: John (Howfen) on 28th June 2025 at 22:22

Mick your the one who’s talking daft I always speak the truth and don’t need any false names you must have five ridiculous names and I can name them all.

Comment by: Veronica on 28th June 2025 at 22:52

I don’t know why he doesn’t call himself ’Hooray Henry’ he brags enough. That’s another good name for him.

Comment by: Mick on 29th June 2025 at 06:52

John, you won't have a say in where your granddaughters sleep.

Mick I would if that rust bucket was mine,and we have recently (few years back)moved out of our four double bedroomed,four bathroomed and 3 garaged home that had planning for 2 Large Goods Vehicles to be parked there so there clever cloggs grow up.
