Alright - I Knows where I means and you folks are right - it is Glascote -
those slow fillers a few miles from Polesworth. Maybe it was the glue that done
it but I always have trouble with the names of those locks as in...
'Atherstone 11 and then those other two where a boat always jumps out in front
of us and there will be one approaching the bottom so like good oggs we will
wait in the top in the freezing cold rain and gale for the half-hour it takes
them to realise that there is a lock in front, get crew off, work lock etc.'
Still that's canalling and don't we love it!
