: This commitment to the well-being of the waterways and their users seems to : be widespread among BW employees (on the ground, at least, and certainly : among some office staff as well). The stoppage on the GU at Cowley just : before Canalway Cavalcade was similarly dealt with, so that boaters were : able to reach Little Venice by the Saturday afternoon. I think BW staff : deserve our appreciation, whatever we think of the Board and the senior : management. : Its not only BW. On our way to the National we moored overnight in Abingdon only to hear tails of the previous day when the next lock brook down. In response to this we set off a little bit early expecting to work ourselves through the next lock before the keeper arrived. However because of the hold-ups the previous day the lock keeper had turned up early to help people on their way. Likewise on the way home several of them were working late to get the queues through. -- Brian Ancient Order of Sewer Ants Visit this site and help save our waterways http://www.savethewaterways.org.uk/ Yahoo!
