Why? It's what he always says. I don't know why people still bother to challenge him. It's not as if he has any influence in the waterways hierarchy, but people on this list seem to credit him with some sort of superior knowledge and power by dint of .. what? his column in Waterways World? The magazines are desperate, any of us could probably get column inches by writing about cats, hedgehogs, recipes you can cook in one pot or almost anything else that can remotely be linked to inland waterways. A bigot who can excite controversy may get some magazine space, but that does not mean his views are important. Just ignore him. Dorothy
