  • In West Sussex, England, a small community has formed around a colony of bizarre houseboats. Using spare parts from old buses, missiles and planes, each boat has its own unique look and feel. Among the residents of the community is Hamish McKenzie. An imaginative houseboat renovator, he’s incorporated his wacky and creative personality to create a truly spectacular home. From a microwave as a mailbox to the nose of a jumbo jet as a window, Hamish infuses glorious new life into discarded objects.

      I think its more about his accent, since the narrator isn't subtitled.

    The German mtb is my favourite boat there .It's not been turned into anything as creative as the others .But there are a few of these people that think they own the whole river .Me and my friend dug a .mooring in the river .Some houseboat nacissistt stormed down the mud bank and said your not digging that there .My friend said ,,Shut up ,unless you want to make something of it,, The nacissist stormed off in a huff. The muppet didn't want to back up his demands .He may have been someone in that small community but in the grand scheme of things spineless mug . I come down from London every Friday night ,did the pubs with Brennan then Wackys diner in morning . David the harbour master warned me about some of these people in advance .David was the sort of the earth and he,s wife Sheila was lovely .Mr and Mrs Barker where lovely people that run our club by the Riverside .I was lucky to have met some of the good people of Shoreham .Rip David
