  1. What did you all expect? They make these programmes to attract viewers, seems like they attracted or should that be trapped a few from here. 😃 If they started discussing the merits of the small Woolwichs' versus the large Northwichs' or even mentioned the word 'Josher' ( I would have turned off then ) your average channel hopper would have fallen asleep.😴 Thought the filming / quality was good and would have liked to have seen drone footage going up the pillars and underneath the trough, up close and personal on 'that' aqueduct. I suppose we should be thankful someone has taken the time to make this programme.
  2. We bought that edition of that guide to navigate the Avon in a Tardebigge Boat Co. boat that was in 1964. Still got the guide.
  3. I wondered when our Uddersfield correspondent would pop in. Top reporting Sir. cheque in post or banky transfery thingy accepted.
  4. Musician? Think that's going a bit far and bringing the integrity of this forum crashing to it's knees Viva Forever Canal World Forum.............
  5. Doesn't seem to want to open for me.. I've always thought what an interesting read a book on waterways families and their boats would be probably starting from the last days of carrying and working backwards in time. Possibly too late now. A lot of that knowledge would be passed verbally and sadly there aren't many family members left to tell the tale... But Ray, it could be a job for you..🧐
  6. That's a bit harsh. In this case Jim Stretch and his staff have worked hard. I wouldn't have expected any thing less of him and his crew. Credit where credit is due. Photo courtesy of Viv. Barber
  7. Like I said it's just opened..
  8. Actually I thought of that last night in a dream or was it a nightmare? I could see the historics in hysterics as they ride the flume down Audlem passing the Shroppie Fly at some speed. Absolutely no time to pop into the mill to purchase a book on lock repairs.
  9. Aah, that old chestnut, the post in water syndrome. Perhaps they could be removed overnight to dry out and replaced in the morning?
