Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite films.

I was thinking more of the dartboard.....

Moi?

Perhaps you need 'a think before you post' button.

That is how it started life. The system expanded to cover the West Country to Plymouth and on to Penzance, much of South Wales, The Cambrian lines of Shropshire and Mid Wales, the London - Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Chester route. The 1923 railway groupings that created the 'Big Four' brought consolidation in these areas.

Natural selection at work.

IIRC, Sextans has a MN reunion of its own every day. When it was restored a few years ago it was partially relengthened with hull plates salvaged from shortened Middle Northwich butty, Thea. It also has a rather nice replica Northwich cabin and sympathetic extention by Steve Priest.

Would have been a narrow boat to them too. IIRC, the term narrowboat was 'invented' by Waterways World magazine....

Make sure the step ladder is marked as suitable for industrial use ......

I think people like that should not have their liberty.

Nah, could never happen.....

I used to regularly steer a 12 seat trip boat. We would offer the passengers the chance to steer if they wanted a go. Most didn't take up the offer, but from those that did I made the following observations..... As a general rule, the kids were far better at it than the grown ups and the girls picked it up quicker than the lads.

Anyone seen the film Logan's Run lately...... Which of you is first for Carousel.....

Where are all the mods when you need one.......

If life was fair, bras would only come in one size....

I don't know about lock ladders......but there's going to be some climbing down if these are found to be extant....

Well you were in Ikea.....

I assume you refer to the top lock here? The cut to the rear of the lock island is navigable behind the facilities. No need to carry your bucket far at all.....

We're talking here of a 30 year old cheap and cheerful boat with a poor build spec and crap lines even when it was new. Why attempt to 'polish a turd' with fancy one piece bottom plate crafted by a master fabricator. At the end of the day it won't make the boat worth one penny more.....
