Humpy from Halifax's point is fair enough but I'd like to point out that Phil is nowhere near as an old fart-like as his post suggests. {;>) I agree that we often slip into "You did what . . . we did that one year before we got out of bed on the first morning, and we blacked the bottom on the way, repaired two leaking lock gates and rebuilt the gearbox whilst waiting at Braunston bottom.
