Can't speak for others - but when I'm boating - yes I do look to see whether water is flowing into an emptying lock - it's fairly obvious. Even with a filling lock there's usually time to look below the bottom gates - especially on a wide lock where you often have to walk over them to get back to the towpath. But I take your point Mike - not everyone does it. -- Malcolm
