They already know, think it might need some heavy lifting gear to move when it starts to be cut up.

I travelled the Trent both ways, but I am dammed if I can remember this weir.  Perhaps I never even saw it.  A bit like Marlow weir on the Thames, but without all the white timbers and big notices.

Did you not notice Staythorpe power station? The weir is immediately  downstream

But that's not beer its pisswater ;)

I had a can of Bud at the weekend and thought it had a distinctive taste but couldn't quite figure out what it was.

Thank you for clarifying what that taste was.

The Trent is all power stations to a Southerner.  Didn't have a map or anything, no idea where I was most of the time.

River Salwarpe has risen high enough to close the Droitwich Barge.

Do you mean the lock or the canal?

 

The lock us generally closed albeit with minimal change in level. I had not heard if the canal bring closed.

Damn. I should have taken my pint of Moonshine back at The Parish Oven. It was only 567ml!

The Soar seems to be holding steady, but as the ground gets more saturated, it won't take much to push it over the banks.

It hasnt really stopped in 48 hours in the Nene catchment area, but not been as heavy as further North.

Another 48 hours of this expected in the Severn, Trent and Ouse catchment areas.

Fosters Lager is brewed by Scottish & Newcastle.  Very Australian.  They are now something to do with Heinekin.

If we do leave the EU we will not revert to imperial measures for everything as it was back in the 1960's.

However it  may be beer in a bottle or can could be marked only as a pint.

The section that is common with the rivers is closed so lock 6 on the Junction Canal is padlocked as is the flood lock in Vines Park. The canal from Vines Park to the Severn is open.

However, looking at the rising levels across N Wales, I wouldn't plan to head towards the Severn, every catchment river continues to rise. The Navigable Severn takes a few days to catch up but it could a biggie. 

Central and N Midlands have also been deluged overnight, the upper Trent catchment is mostly on flood alerts and this will work it's way down in a day or 2. 

The Soar continues to rise, although may peak off tomorrow if not much further rain comes.....however, morbid forecast.

Quite a rise in level on the Witham yesterday.

 

The Bardny level station was showing 0.83m yesterday morning and is now at 2.25m and still rising.

Still not sure what they are playing at with levels on the Fossdyke as they are letting it pick up then dropping it off sharply again! Not seen them do that before. :blink:

Yes, the Junction Canal is more frequently closed, not least because the river in flood (as well as the brook) backs up to the M5 culvert which is low enough headroom at the best of times. Do you know whether the lock the other side (or more likely Lock 4 just below the marina) was also locked? This seems usually done to prevent people ignoring the electronic warning panel at the top lock and then becoming stuck down by the motorway.

Perhaps they do not have enough staff to monitor on an hour-by-hour basis, and adjust accordingly in small steps, but have to use less frequent but larger adjustments?
