Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.#Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.
A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators
I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
(wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat. -
CW: Invercargill mayoralty - a most unsuited candidate
It's cooker time in Invercargill. While the position of mayor usually attracts a varied bunch of candidates, a certain Gordon McCrone stands out this time as a blatant and unashamed fantasist. McCrone's web site is a damming record of one man's amassed insanity.*
It seems Police and doctors are all out to get McCrone. "My Criminal Lawyer says it will cost $30,000 and take 2 years to put the Entire Wellington Police Department in Prison." Only thirty grand? I'm sure most people would expect to pay at least twice that amount to depose an entire force.
He claims an "effective PhD" in sociology and criminology and aborigine life". Not a real PhD then. But it gets weirder.
McCrone apparently advises President Joe Biden on "internal and external affairs." Uh-huh.
Then there's this: "At the age of 7, I discovered I was a pedophile..."
He claims that due to pain he can "barely do 1 minute of masturbating instead of hours non stop..."
More worryingly, he calls himself "an unregistered, self-appointed child sex psychologist."
That's enough. This man is actually standing for the mayoralty. God save us all.
