Have you ever tried to contact Scottish Canals with an enquiry and been told it all boils down to funds they dont have? Ok try this... compare thhe salary of the Director of Scottish Canals with the Chief Executive of the Police ..this is the salary of somebody who runs a very small part of the canal network (which some boats go up and down when theres no weed) compared to the salary of the person in charge of every police unit in Scotland... are you really satisfied with the original response from Scottish Canals?
Oh and while youre on the blower, ask them how many of the Senior Management team have appointed themselves Directors recently
