At least 2 on the Hanwell flight can still be operated....one with a triple sidepond.

 

I haven't been to Hanwell Locks since the mid 80's. Don't recall seeing them working then, but it was a long time ago. ?

Hatton flight, GU nbCrane

 

Reminds me of my very first canal holiday on a UCC camping boat in July 1973. Did the Warwickshire Ring starting at Braunston and went past the house I now live in 2 years before it was built.

Those 1970's mens hairstyles, or rather complete lack of style, are distinctive. Can't see that fashion returning

Yes, 45 years have had an effect on John's hairstyle. Beer seems to have cheered him up a bit.

He taught me to steer, so has a lot to answer for

You don't fancy the Peter Wyngarde look then?

Me and my mates were all busy tucking our shirt sleeves back inside our jackets once his escapades hit the news ?

If there were eight cans in each layer, and the second layer had cans each resting between two cans of the layer below (forming triangles as we look at them, with the right-end one resting on the edge of the box), would you have enough height for a tenth layer to make eighty cans instead of the 78 in their now?

 

Just asking.

Continuing a theme of Middlewich Narrowboats hireboats, Damson came from IML when they stopped hiring. Cruiser stern; we took her breased to Maple both ways on the tidal Trent to Sheffield in 1991
