Man 'o Kent Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 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 . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Ronaldo47 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) 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. Several versions on Youtube - one example here: https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DL1KzedC9SFw&ved=2ahUKEwiMtY6nwZjrAhUNY8AKHdnIC00QwqsBMAF6BAgKEAY&usg=AOvVaw1vbRREmtxTus7Wn7n3fDc-&cshid=1597333328384 Edited August 13, 2020 by Ronaldo47 Typo, youtube link added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
