BW? Who were they?

BW were a lovely government company who were constantly starved of funds, probably overstaffed, and who did their best to keep the canals in reasonable condition.

The Gov't of the day wanted rid of this anachronism and 'put it up to "auction".

Somebody from the London Underground acquired it, IIRC...

Yes, valid.

Not a criticism, just an observation. I know how much time and effort it takes to keep every thing  up to date.

If we had known what a pile of shyte cart would become we never would have welcomed them as we did.
