I've hired narrowboats on a number of occasions and never the same boat....ALL the grey waste goes directly into the canal....washing up, shower and sink. Even the toothpaste if you've just spat it in the sink...
If it's supposed to be bad for aquatic life etc, surely these boats wouldn't be allowed to deposit it in such a way.
Just a thought
What's the difference between being on here and in the magazine?

Is there a Forum Record (FR) for the most pages on grey waste?
No one has disrespected Claire, well done to her for bringing it up , it's the content written by someone else that is a bit dodgy.

Not you either, the story in the magazineSince I seem to be the only one who has questioned Claire's intent, I assume the comment above was aimed at me.
If this is the case, perhaps you'd care to explain what you mean by my 'content' being dodgy?
Fair point but at the time of the Vulcan beingJesus!
We have just had the final flight of the Vulcan, British engineering at its best, sadly gone forever.
And that event has been upstaged by a single photo of British engineering at its worst- A Swift Motorhome!

Quite easily what happened here, we've done it as well, had a German bloke banging on the side of the van, but afraid I did pretty much the same as the bloke in the magJust remembered! In 2011 we were coming back from Germany with a new van and we stopped off in Brugge for a few days. It was when the old aire was open on other side of the road.
On exiting the van in the morning after a shower there was a reception committee waiting about 15 of them slowly nodding, slow intake of breath. pointing at the soapy effluent spreading for under our new van.
They were all very unhappy and told me so... Suitably admonished I tried to lamely explain we had only picked van up day before to no avail, until I showed one amenable chap the paperwork/receipt..he explained to everyone else and a mighty AH! went up accompanied by laughter ( just another dumkoff Englander). If it had been in the evening I'm sure it would have turned into a party. Thankful for the export plates though as might of got lynched on UK plates

What you bought a van in Germany judgeJust remembered! In 2011 we were coming back from Germany with a new van

Yep, happened to me in Portugal. Filled and emptied at a motorhome point at the supermarket in Sagres. Continued on my way and stopped at a lovely spot (not official Aire) by a lovely beach. In the morning half way through me showering came a knock on the door. The Belgian guy next door telling me the water was going everywhere. Ooops .... forgot to close the drain.Quite easily what happened here, we've done it as well, had a German bloke banging on the side of the van, but afraid I did pretty much the same as the bloke in the mag

Swift KonleakyI notice in the photo it's a swift, maybe it's just drying out in the warm French weather.

No problem if there is an Ultradrain Kit fitted, as on our Burstner.PS this is the second van which I've seen with the drain pipe in the centre of the van (fore n aft, side to side). How does anyone manouevre them into the correct position?

Sounds like a poss name for a tap with an extended spindle.No problem if there is an Ultradrain Kit fitted, as on our Burstner.
Surely if this "chap" was in an Aire why didn't he use the grey waste drain?
