  1. 'Oil on board' are they Claytons?
  2. I have worked on military bridges for a long time, all fabricated from aluminium, we call that effect 'quilting'. Max.
  3. Marty's yard was in Biddings Lane Coseley now occupied by Dewsbury and Proud. Prior to that they were in Willenhall. Marty's boats were used in the Phosphorus waste contract for Albright and Wilson. Google 's hat lies beneath the rattlesnake lagoon' for more info - a fascinating read ! Matty's sorry. 'What lies beneath the rattlesnake lagoon' sorry Rattlechain lagoon - bloody predictive text !

  6. Hiya, Just been looking through my canal postcards, thought this might interest some of you. Is this 'the bridge that was never built' ? Max
  7. Thanks everyone, ill let you know how we get on. Max
  8. Good evening everyone, I am after some advice please. On Friday next week my wife and I plus two friends are hiring a boat for a week. My wife and I have done the four counties ring twice with our kids in a week, also the severn ring in a week, and most recently (10 years ago) we did Middlewitch to Llangollen and back in a week with our kids. So we have some experience. The friends we are going with have not done canal holidays before but I have no doubt they will pick it up. So we are hoping to get to Llangollen and back in the week. Is this reasonable this year and what has changed in the 10 years since we last did it ? We start at 3.00pm on the Friday, and wish to eat out once or twice, which pubs are still open and which do you recommend - I guess we will need to book. We don't mind early starts and long days. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Max.
  9. That looks like a Willow Wren boat pulling a train of joey boats - not seen that before. Max.
  10. No, what I am saying is what you have found is some of their absorbant pads. They are clever things - white ones pick up oil but not water, and grey ones do the reverse. A previous owner probably pinched them from work !
