Beavers on the cut?

[Man 'o Kent]

If it happens does this mean that CRT are going to have to put lock gates in their dams?

 

Maybe we could train them to drop the odd sapling on the odd speeding lycra lout . . .

is this a good idea, don't they eat wood, such as lock gates?

Not our lock gates, they are too rotten.

Perhaps if they do; we would get more maintenance free steel ones that work without leaking, to hell with heritage, Brindley never bothered.

Worry not, they need green wood because they eat the bark

I must have led a very sheltered life, I have no idea what that means

 

I was thinking more of the perils for proper working boats with wooden bottoms -- be afraid! Be - glug! glug! - afraid!

 

Mark you they could be useful too, I did, last year, notice on the Oxford a tree with a trunk at least 6" diameter happily growing in  the canal bed feet from the bank.

Blue card coming

We used to have an ancient  78 record  by the music hall performer Harry Champion called "Here comes old Beaver". Apparently it refers to a type of bushy beard that men used to wear in Edwardian days.
