Oh, this is quite disgraceful, I *must* have a word with me old mate 
Jimmy Brindley..........fancy designing a canal without powered paddles 
and gates!!! I mean, what is the world coming to when our canals are 
not designed with colonial visitors in mind? ;-))))))
Never mind Phil, I'll make sure that Jimmy gets it right the next time
