I'm accidentally learning about the canal boat living community lol. It's a whole parallel world.

And I learnt the term 'yoghurt pot' lol

'two types of boat are crewed by two types of boaters. Of course there are exceptions, but barge owners are usually more hippy, less tidy, more chilled. Cruiser owners are often more wealthy, and more proud of their boat. The two communities take the mickey out of each other. Cruiser owners call barge owners “ditch dwellers” because of our love of canals. Barge owners call cruisers “yoghurt pots” or “plastic bathtubs” because of their fragility.'

There's even a forum called canal world, a while network of fb groups and private messenger app groups.

It's quite fascinating. Actually lol.
