the young people of kidsgrove have had a pretty bad reputation for their behavior round the canal in the last few years, but to show the other side of the coin , there was a report in our local paper (Staffordhire Sentinel) about 3 young people 2 girls and a boy, who rescued a 68 year old man and his dog from the canal in kidsgrove, then escorted him safely home, during the rescue the young boy fell into the canal himself, I believe the young people are to get some award, and also free tickets for alton towers, nice to hear something good for a change.

Low blow that - can you actually sleep at night now?

Agreed. Never had any problems in Kidsgrove. Even queueing for the tunnel. A few bad apples does not a bad barrel make unless you are narrowboatworld

I have always found the kids at Harecastle and Hardingswood to be generally helpful and interested in the canal. As Cheshire Cat implied there are a few bad apples in any town, but the actions of the teenagers involved is commendable. We should be proud that we still have so many young people who are caring and public spirited.

Never had any problems at Kidsgrove only friendly chat and help if needed. Well done to the kids that helped out. Reward well deserved !!

A good endorsement for Scouting I would say.
