NigelMoore Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 If that is truly what it was, then the satisfaction of an imagined point-scoring will be its own reward, with my provoked response considered a bonus. Sweeping that under the carpet, there is a certain irony in Ballymore using Gilgie as an icon of their scheme’s waterways credentials, given the notoriety of its connection with them and with their navigation authority partner. However Ballymore are seemingly dealing with me in good faith, so far, unlike CaRT. Gilgie’s owner is a bit miffed that she wasn’t asked how she felt about this very public exposure, but I choose to consider it as a good-will gesture.

The Thames was once a tributary of the Rhine but not sure where it turned north east so maybe not that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder why Springers get such bad press when they seem to be pretty resilient, they're like the R2D2s of narrowboats, they just keep going and going.
