, I, Marvo, say :

Bearing in mind its not his riverbank, or his river!

Bear in mind that it is my mooring, for which I pay, and it is up to me to
keep it orderly.

That is why I asked on this group, because I wanted some useful advice,
exactly what I have been given by other posters and which I will take on
board in order to find a solution which is both eco-friendly and
effective.

I suspect that I shall implement something which rats don't like, as
opposed to something which kills them, if I can. If not, maybe I will
ensure that they don't get on to the boat by some other means.

I am guessing that you don't like boats much, which is a shame because
most of the boaters I know are not malicious people, do not have smelly
engines, and contribute an enormous amount to the upkeep of the river. In
addition, they can largely string more than half a dozen words together
without resorting to rudeness and anglo-saxon expletives.

I am guessing that you don't normally frequent this NG? If so, I
sympathise with the other members. If not, why would you want to come in
and just be rude?

What does interest me is whether you are an American. The structure of
your sentences and certain colloquialisms indicate that this is so.

Anyway, I'm on holiday tomorrow for a week. I look forward to your answer
on my return. Have a nice day!

Correct - he is a newcomer.
Good detection - may well be a foreigner.
