Etiquette!

On the main Khayamanzi website, I have added a database to collect examples of etiquette on the canals. It can be found by clicking on the 'communicate' tab in the navigation menu on the site. My reason for this mini campaign is outlined in the following quote from the site:

For anyone who has cruised the canals and inland waterways for any number of years as I have, the unmistakable fact of the gradual erosion of courtesy and friendliness cannot have gone unnoticed. As more and more people have taken to the waterways and decided to invest in a narrowboat, for whatever reason, it is a sad fact that the 'rush' and 'rudeness' of modern day life is rapidly entering the hitherto peaceful, friendly and tranquil canal system. I feel the time has come to compile a directory of etiquette before it disappears completely. Those unwritten rules of courtesy that help make the canal the place it was, and still should be. I hope that you will feel able to contribute to the directory and/or simply add your name and perhaps a comment to 'simply show your support'.

I would urge readers to contribute and, at the very least, feel able to sign to show your support.
