Are the Yorkshire canals connected to all others?

[Chertsey]

The reason southern waterways have such distinct features are to help boatowners survive and to protect themselves from endless health and safety based decisions.

 

A] Narrow canals so as not to get lost.. by only being able to go in one direction and not winding which would cause confusion and disorient the easily confused.

 

B] Shallow canals as they seem to have a propensity for falling in.

 

C] Overcrowding almost everwhere so as to maintain the usual congestion felt whilst going about daily life.

 

D] Inflated pricing on every essential item to create delusions of grandeur and oneupmanship as is required when looking down ones nose at those who just nod their head and get on with life.

Apart from the last one, this sounds more like the Midlands than the South!

I refer you to a post I made earlier, in another thread...

 

 

 

The Midlands doesn't actually exist but was thought up by Southerners who found the fact that they have dirty smelly factories, in their region, too traumatic to accept.

.... you can pick up painful maladies like Penistone ...

 

A chap I once worked with got a kidney stone. Is this a similar complaint?

(And he hailed from Barnsley, which is not a million miles away).

Martyn, I have googled and wicki-ed it and indeed they do 'play' at cricket.

 

However, unlike our lot from the proper side of the Pennines, they don't 'win' at cricket.

 

from Lancashire, living in Leics.,Derbys.,Notts. at the moment.

I always say " I was brung up on the right side of the Pennines"
