Matt Black -- Profile

I am the collator of information for NNN. All other details are withheld for security reasons.

Rudolph Hooker -- Profile

After a long and auspicious career as PR consultant for Lord Lucan I decided to give up the high life and take to the canals. I bought an ex hire boat from Swan Line at Fradley and now cruise the system on the "Mucky Duck". I have looked at the many excellent web sites which chronicle the travels of various narrowboats throughout the system. These look like hard work to maintain so I have decided to become a commentator, on the changes that canals are undergoing, instead. This should be a much easier option and leave me more time for what I call research. In reality this means spending many hours in canalside pubs seeking out and talking to that increasingly rare species, the "real boater". How else does one find out what is happening on the waterways?

The Vole -- Profile

I am a "closet boater" working for AV. I dare not admit to being a boater to my superiors because I would be transported to the Aquascape.com division pronto and that´s due for the chop soon. I hope you now appreciate my need for secrecy. All information should go to the outside world via a chap called Hugh Baton, but this information is, of course, subject to censorship and not a little spin. It´s not his fault. He seems a good bloke really and is one of the few that walk the corridors of power that knows how to work a lock!

(This resume is, for obvious reasons, lacking in specifics...... Matt Black)

Ms D. Vine -- Profile

Ms D. Vine has an impeccable CV. She is secretive about her place (and year) of birth, but was educated at Rodine so what went before is irrelevant (as she puts it). Who´s Who confirms that she was married to a Tory MP but understandably felt that was a not good prospect for the future and left her open to ridicule and pity amongst her friends at the WI. In due course she divorced the "chinless wonder", but it all came to nought when she was knocked down by an illegal immigrant driving a taxi outside a well known London night club. The head injury sustained in the accident changed her personality to such an extent she bought a narrowboat, became a boater and has been a liveaboard ever since.

I felt it only proper to have a woman on the team in the interests of balance. I´m sure you will agree, having read the brief resume above, that she will be an important asset to NNN.
