one of the photographers we use at work lives on a canal boat, seems to love it

and him asking if there any canals near brunters so he can pilot his boat to work never fails to amuse

I've interested in this as well.

Quite popular in Bristol. Cheap city centre living.

theres a place near Ormskirk that has just had a lot of work done to the canal to house a load of these canal boats, loads living on them there.

cheaper than houses now.
