ditchcrawler Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Not 100% sure this is a silly sign but I think the one at the other end of the tunnel is the same. So who has priority ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushall locks. At the top: and this had some entertainment, itself Well, we hadn't, so we did. And the office asked if we wanted someone to help us through. They could be with us within two or three hours. Well, of course we didn't need any such assistance, we just needed to know how wide the lock now was. But they didn't know that. So we just carried on ... to that other sign ... Edited October 15, 2020 by PeterScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple similar at Berkhamstead. The cottage owner would come out and swear at you if you left the lock full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that constitutes a silly sign it is too factual for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going back a bit From the close building it does look a bit like it could be Berkhamsted. Gas locks the bottom one ? I've not been through there since CRT took over but spent quite a bit of time around there mid 00s. Might be somewhere totally different.

matty40s Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Mind the sunk BW boat, you can use the service wharf for 30 minutes only, however long it takes your tank to fill, up to a maximum of 14 visits before you have to use another wharf.

Ronaldo47 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Reminds me of the time when they dug up a few yards of one side of the road at a local shopping centre and put up the sign for "you have priority" on one side and "give way to oncoming vehicles" on the other side. Unfortunately the latter sign was erected upside-down, making both sides think they had priority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
