Marsworth pound

[bigcol]

We're now just north of Slapton lock, water low most of the way,but no problems

Until now . Again were on the mud, seen other boats again stirling up the mud.

 

So are we seriously going to have a a water shortage

Like a couple of years ago??

With reservoirs nearly empty.

Does not help that the breach between horton and ivinghoe is a bodge job and water still pours out. We must be just behind you big col

That sounds depressingly familiar.

Recently I reported a loose coping stone which was dangerously overhanging lock 43 on the Marsworth flight.

Half an hour later I received a puzzled call from a maintenance team who'd been sent to somewhere on the Leicester line.

Half an hour later I received another call from Milton Keynes.

"Could you tell me again which lock has the problem?"

"Lock 43 on the Marsworth flight."

"Which canal is that?"

"Southern Grand Union."

"Which town is it near?"

"Well, I suppose that would be Marsworth."

"Sorry, can't find it."

"Try Tring."

"No, still can't find it. What county is it in?"

"I'm not sure whether it's in Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire......"

"Can I ring you back?"

 

At which point I lost the will to live.

 

 

Perhaps we should buy CART Call centre a set of Nicholson's or Pearson' (or both) as a Secret Santa.......
