Great excitement when Pete sees Juel's Fuels the working boat coming towards us. They pull alongside me and fill me up with diesel and Pete buys 6 large bags of coal for the stove. Juel and Richard have been working this area from Apsley to Braunston since 1972. Boaters can order what they want by text (diesel, coal, logs, gas bottles, toilet fluid). If the boat is unattended the couple will still leave the goods on your boat with an invoice. The invoice can be paid by internet banking. Welcome to the twenty-first century......
Pete asked Richard if he had ever fallen in. Richard told us that he had 4 week's ago..... He slipped off the back of another boater's slippery stern whilst about to fill the boat with diesel. Once he managed to get back onto his boat sopping wet, using a ladder, the first thing the boater said to him was "My dog gave birth to 7 puppies last week" - not a word about his fall into the canal. Naught stranger than boaters........
