Good riddance too. My team had him in goal once and he was bloody useless. He only stoppeth one in three.

*Ancient Mariner signs contract for canal bank repairs - CRT target 33% reduction in leaks*

OK, let's be fair.

 

I recently submitted an item that countered another that suggested in season stoppages were significantly impeding boaters. I quoted our own statistics which painted a different, albeit personal, experience.

 

It was published in full despite running counter to the in house tendency to see only adversity in canal boating. 

 

I have generally had that experience with Tom.

We'll see if I have a similar experience then. Two separate articles claimed that the L&L was now closed for winter which I pointed out was wrong but the latest CaRT update says repairs have gone well and the canal should be reopened this Friday. I don't expect to be mentioned in dispatches.
