One of the great advantages of living on a boat, if you have obnoxious neighbours it’s much easier to move!

It's always people, technical issues are easy, people are difficulty

“I answered him with two words” 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

I am not English but thanks to YT I can keep hearing people speaking their mother language and you deserve 👍 for your simple day to day routine explanation in a way that I walk with you on the towpath. I am 75 and biking around town, in the south of France where I live, and I am surrounded by the same idiots like you so I can feel what you are saying in every way and in my joints. Thanks for being you and sharing. 🥸🇩🇰

WE apparently share age and attitude to idiots. Good job.

I have to say that I have a hard time understanding why someone gets upset that there is a boat in a canal that is made for boats.

You are a pleasure to watch Vince and make me smile. Ignore idiots. There always seems to be someone that can upset your mood. Keep the vlogs going for us please. Best wishes. X

Who knew Micheal Cane had a you tube Channel! Next time you’re on please say “I only told you to blow the bloody doors off” 🤣

You could get a little folding pull along trolly to help take the water to your boat, You could do it in one trip then :-)

You are correct, people are the problem. It’s hard to be easy going when others get their jollies ticking you off. As a senior citizen I use my age to act aloof with people that are annoying. If they can’t get to me it gets to them. It’s really not the best way to live but it does keep me calmer.

Give him a SEVERE ignoring, Keep Calm and Carry On! Good work.

About time someone posted a real video about Narrow Boating! Please do more and show people its not all sunshine and lovely gentle music like all of the other you tubers post! thanks

You're right about people being the cause of many problems. They can be their own worst enemy, and unfortunately other peoples pain. If we can simply live, and let live. Well, The world would be a nicer place for all of us.

If I were a narrow boater I would wind up like that Suez Canal mess in no time.

Well, I found your last video (2021, 15-Dealing with Idiots...) and I decided to watch all your videos from the beginning. I truly enjoyed the views from the boat, even on the raining days. I feel like I'm keeping you company, traveling for free. Thank you for taking all of us in your HOME to share your adventures. I hope that a video of the inside of the boat is coming soon. Cannot wait for the tour of the inside and a more detailed tour of the outside. Take care and stay safe, greetings from Omaha, Nebraska, USA 🇺🇸 ...I'm originally from México 🇲🇽 May God Bless You. "vaya con Dios". 🙏🏻👼🏻🤟🏻

A pirate captain would know just what to do... make him walk the plank

Can't see what the bloke's problem was: If you departed after 14 days and your spot was immediately taken by another narrowboat...who stayed another 14 days...what's it to him? Maybe he just got tired of your boat...wanted a change of scenery! But if that's the only "grief" you get.... I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Life's too short. Stay safe. Cheers From Chile!

The guy living in the house complained about the 14 day mooring: does he own the canal? Or a canal boat? What does he care? People need to mind their own business.

Thank you so much for your video content! It makes my day. All those wonderful sounds also... Running motor, rain, water etc. Lot of people dont realise how beautiful is audio soundscape round and inside of boats.

You’ve got the right attitude, don’t let the wasters get to you. We’re only here for a short time so best to make the most of it. Imagine the sad life that Herbert must have if he has to count how many days a boat is there😁. Look on the bright side, he may get some stroppy arsehole of a boater who moors up in the space you vacated and he may get more than he bargained for and the second is at least you can move, imagine living next door to him😂😂

For some strange reason I have been addicted to watching lots of narrowboat and canal videos lately, despite the fact I have absolutely no real interest in it all! But when somebody puts up a video with the title "dealing with idiots" it was hard not to want to be intrigued by it!!! So I watched, enjoyed, and 'liked' it. At 10 minutes this was a perfect length as well.

Loved it and subscribed. down to earth. One idiot is not a idiocracy ! Most brits I guess like narrow boaters !

Only yesterday, urgently topped with water, emptied both alsan cassettes and got rid of 3 bags of rubbish after mooring in a remote spot without nearby facilities, 0h the satisfaction you get when these chores are done... Good vlog, have subscribed, thanks. David nb yarip yaroo.

Live your life mate and stuff the rest of them that don't have one 👍

Unfortunately there are idiots no matter where you live. Lovely vlog as usual.

Thanks for not putting music on, such a relief.

Was those two words...f..off? Ha ha. I love your videos...hope will buy a bought soon and might see you! Have a good one and thank you for videos you made!

Excellent video, glad I found your site.

well now, 1st time viewer. This is something I never really thought about. Looking forward to learning about Narrowboats and life on the canals

Very insightful. Ta, mate! Cheers!

Have fun bro

You are commercial to watch. Keep smiling 😀

I know this vlog is two years old but it's still very useful to me and I love the way you explain things. I say this because I'm planning on going on to the water hopefully with a 9 or 10 ft beam. IDIOTS I've worked with a lot of em all my life or around them like naghbours and especially so called friends. Boat people like you seemed to my kind of people. Thank you for your vlog take care mate and God bless

Thanks for the video. You have a great delivery Vince. Stay safe.

You sir are a legend

Enjoyed your video Vince walk softly and carry a big stick.

We only learn from hardships. I love boating, cheers for the vid

Very nice I am your new subscriber from Afghanistan.

I used to do pest control at Allinsons so i had to go to the top of that big silo that was on your left twice a week. As you guessed they don't make bread there, they only mill flour i think. I'm now a full time vanlifer and i know exactly what you mean, there are lots of "look at our beautiful van while we do yoga on the roof of it" videos on youtube that lul people into thinking vanlife is amazing when the reality is emptying chemical loo's, finding water, finding safe park ups and living in a space 3m × 2m. I hope you're still chugging around fine and that you have a little more freedom now all the lock down stuff has ended.

A down-to-earth content and presentation - very nice, & thank you.

Good stuff. Keep telling the truth.

Good to see some real genuine prospective, you got a sub🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤙

Hi enjoyed your video like what you said to the guy in the flats think I would say a little more to be honest lol take care keep safe keep warm,John ☃️☃️☃️☃️

looks like fun way of life to me... I lived on my sailboat for 10 years in alaska. so this would be life of riley ...

Thank you for sharing the other side of narrowboat living. It prepares someone who maybe thinking of narrowboat living.

Liked your video but I was smiling all the way through it as I couldnt stop thinking of " You were only meant to blow the bloody doors off" Keep up the good work.

made me chuckle cheers for that and don't let the idiots get you down!.Love how you turned him being a cretin into comedy for others. Good on ya!

Awesome 🤟😎💪💪

Sounds about right,stand your ground mate

Karma catches bad peoples! Stay positive and take care 🙏🏻

Good morning Vince, sadly some people don't realise that's its not all sunshine and cruising. And sadly you'll get idiots everywhere. Not sure if my patience would last for long. They would get two word's a lot sooner. Lol.. Hope new mooring keeps you safe and well. X

Hi buddy I don't think we've met before However I see you have been experiencing some fun n games. There's 1 in every classroom and 1 in every work place infact 1 in every walk of life and there's not much we can do apart from put up with the 1 d,head and Try n have fun with the others. Happy cruising mate and I will look out for you. Take care and stay safe. 👍

Hi Vince I still enjoyed your video. Its good to see the other side of boating, helpful for anyone thinking of doing the same, so they don't think its all rosy. I am sorry you had someone being awkward but glad you are keeping positive. Thanks for your vlog. Looking forward to the next one. Keep looking up XXX

Actually I like the location you are now at. The mental limitations suffered by some people are often frustrating but with a little ingenuity that situation can be overcome. Good on you for taking the better effort. 👍

Your calmer than me mate, my first reply to the idiot would have been 2 words, followed by his demise if he bothered me again🤣🤣

Loved it mate thnx.

Nice to hear from you again hope your friend has paid his council tax you have paid yours he probably gets subsidised though keep going Vince you are one of the breaths of fresh air to us all stay safe

Give them the old one finger salute

Great video keep em coming

Excellent work that. I never cared for sugar-coating....much better to tell the truth

this is good to see both sides

Just smile at him and say hello yes please

Two words that are universally known🤔🙄😃😁

Keep the peace and enjoy your boat

I like your vlogs, a refreshing change compared to other narrowboat vloggers. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing your journey.

Well done sir. Thanks for showing the facilities point. You should paint some roses and diamonds on you boat in bold primary colors. Put on top some flowers and a decorated water can.

My oldest won a boating holiday in a works christmas raffle, booked the largest cruiser she could in the south of France, THEN thought, who do I know who can drive a boat.... Daaaad? Lol. While the boat was “all singing all dancing” with bow thrusters, the guy who introduced me to the controls was happy with my abilities enough to teach me to turn her without. Seeing you moor up there took me back, not in the least to the night I put her in a gap with about 2’ spare for’d & aft. Similar to how you did that but I went in bow 1st, and pulled her in on the ropes. Lovely holiday, but I’m tied to a stone class vessel for the forseable

Well said mate

Greetings from New Zealand

Thank you for the valuable information in this video. It is indeed something that's missing from the majority of the videos on the other Narrowboat channels, though I've heard here and there that it's not all smooth sailing. Well worth it in all their opinions (total surprise there), and I find myself agreeing - what you gain is well worth the hassle. Information is key, just as everywhere else. Informed decisions are those that hold, and videos like this one are a huge help in informing us interested people. Thank you again.

Like your style !!

Wonderful! You made me laugh, thank you. I crave the narrow boat life but have left it too late even tho' I'm fit and lively enough at 71 I wouldn't be able to face it all on my own and can't afford a boat and my house together.I'm far away now from canals and regret moving in some ways. On the northumberland coast, Amble it's cold but there's lots of fresh air and space! You can't have everything! I'll try and find your other films now. Thanks again, Lesley.

Thanks so much for the video. I’m seriously considering buying a narrowboat. I’m in two minds about it at the minute. Your video is really helpful. Hope you’re doing well. All the best

Had a friend or relative needing that space. He figured to bug you enough and you would move. Life is to short to deal with IDIOTS.

The second word wasn’t ‘Off’ by any chance ?😂

Just found your channel. I'm a yank, still I watch every I can about UK and narrow boating, have for over 30 years starting with BritComs. So I can hear regional accents. You sound in accent and pitch just like Michael Caine. Am I far off? Ha!!! I'm listening to more now!!

Do the right thing, well done keeping cool mate.

Enjoyed that and impressive mooring and it was interesting thanks.. Has anybody ever told you you sound a bit like Michael Caine!

Sometimes you just have to remember you can't use reason with someone who didn't use reason to get into the argument in the first place

Well done and fair play to you for persevering with a great way of life. That fool who came out to moan must have little to do with his time.

You get idiots wherever you go. Good health and happiness to you.

I have just watched all your videos. I love them. You are unpretentious and calming.

Good luck, where you are. Hopefully no idiots to bother you.

He couldn't speak English so you taught him two new words hahaha x

Great channel , looking forward to viewing your library.Wish we had a canal system like that over here.👍🛥🛥🛥

This was lovely to, watch a real look at some of the important things one may need to think about before taking the plunge.. Love your chanel ignore people that grind your gears wise to move on xx

Another good 1 Sir.....loved the last 1 too...especially the jumper (COYI) Well done with dealing with the twonk.....could have been worse, could have chucked him in with the other 2 gongoozler's lol....Keep safe and keep on posting matey...Love it !!!

Just stumbled on your channel vince... great viewing I’ve started from the beginning and enjoying it very much. .. as I’ve got older I’ve come to the conclusion that some people can only be worthy of two word answers many ending in off. It’s a language universally understood and the recipients are in the main worthy of the reply. Great name for the boat by the way.

As a fellow boater ytber you're the 1st channel that i can watch, i puke from all the lovely jubbly bs going on on the other channels. Cheers.

Just enjoy and hang in there.

The worst thing I've found on the canals is the veterans with silly little caps and neckers who get angry at the smallest infringement of holidaymakers. Leaves a nasty taste and invites a retort: two words ending in off.

The boats have been there longer than The resident they shouldn’t of move to the side of a working Canal ❤️🍺

the canals and the narrowboats were here before any flats and foreigners.

The winding point at 2:47 is the old course of the river before the shopping centre was built. you will never smell baking bread from pop & chapmans flour mill. in general the water front has been spoilt and hemmed in and a lot of its history destroyed

Maybe not the prettiest but hopefully one of the friendliest! Do like the sound of Aitches engine 🙂

just discovered your vlogs , I like the no nonsense honest way its done. and the fact that you're telling it how it is warts and all . keep em coming , ignore the numpties, keep enjoying and best wishes.

Allinsons with 'NOWT' taken out ? - Would have been nice with the aroma of fresh bread wafting by your mooring - As we get older and wiser - Tend to find the world is getting fuller of idiots? - And some of them don't have the sense they are born with ? - How can a chap who cannot comunicate try to dictate or enforce the canals rules ? - Heh ! - Who does he think he is ! - Up in his balcony - Talking down to the population ? - That really grinds my gears ?

All the best matey! People are c**ts where ever you go, chin up and you done the right thing. Best of luck with flood waters, been tricky moored in sawbridgeworth, nearly over the bank one day then dragging on the bottom the next water fluctuating a lot at the moment. I’ll keep an eye out if you chug on past

Theres always one no matter where you go just take no notice that hurts them more they want you to interact they crave it so just ignore them take care buddy keep safe

Hi Vic, I just wanted to say how nice it is watching your blogs, your honesty and and informative and earthy narration. I look forward to watching the blogs and keep an eye open for the next one. I would love to holiday on the canals once I return to England, and see if its really for me, Oz is slightly lacking for the canal challenge. Regards to people, good and bad, its the bad ones that make you appreciate the good ones more. You managed the situation like a pro, there is no telling to what length reprisals may take and escalate. take care, stay safe, looking forward to the next one.
