I would suggest that narrowboaters are not a special group of intelligent people, and, probably mirror society in general by having a population with wide ranging abilities and intelligence.

With regard to abilities and intelligence but regarding experience of canals and what happens in different weather conditions they would I think have plenty of experience. If they think it is sewage do they assume people only "fly pump" in summer and not winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you (at least I think you do ) I've always either had an intrest in or worked outside, plus I've done a bit of study, sometimes because I wanted to and sometimes I needed to. Anyway the point of that ramble is many people just don't, I am often gobsmacked what people don't see or if they do see don't understand. Simply, see poo like floating stuff so it must be poo, first time I saw this I was on my hands and knees pulling some out and having a look/sniff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is so I will investigate/find out. The idea of cruising through what I think to be sewage without checking is just so foreign to me.

They could be posting questions like : Why do people have to empty their pump out toilets into the canal? In Burscough this happens everyday as boaters seem to think because this is a quite stretch the can. This weather it's terribly smelly and a health hazzard. I darent carry out prop clearing.

system 4-50 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Can all the people who are seeing brown stuff please empty either a PO tank or a cassette into the canal and take a picture of the two side by side so we can compare them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was so much of it I immediately concluded it couldn't possibly be pumped out effluent. The thought initially crossed my mind but I only entertained it for about ten seconds.

ditchcrawler Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Last time I was on the G&S moored at Slimbridge and the big trip boat was moored just over the other side with all his passengers going to the birdy place there was a big brown slick that appeared around his stern while they were away, I don't think he was stirring the mud up without his prop turning but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boy Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I've just retired from working for a well known waist management company dealing with human waist, tankering from sesspits to spreading on crop fields,(yes you probably eat it) what I am seeing on the water here is not human waist but rotting vegetation and algie so much algie the water has turned a lovely green with brown patches.caused buy the heat wave we are having. All of it goes in the head of the works, either through pipes or tanker they don't sepperate blue added or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff in the Burscough / Parbold area sinks below the water when the sun goes off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
