Going back to Jigsaws we do rather a lot of these in winter. While we like old village and town scenes we also do a number are train ones as there are not that many canal ones around. One waterways we did do was Boulters lock with boats also a Berko lock with boat in one. We also have a couple of King 1000 ones titled 'British Waterways' - a nasty one this as the colours blend which drove us mad we decided not waste our lives on it further - and 'Canal Cottage' one that we have yet to do. Kings and Gibson puzzles seem to favour trains and (some) boats. Ravensbugers (german) seem to like trains and have interestingly shaped pieces. Jumbos are Dutch and some of theirs feature the cartoonist Jan Van Haasteren whose paintings/cartoons of Christmas, Football, The NHS and so on are full of interesting people including an Indian, A sharks fin, police with guns and the odd robber and various other trade mark bits and masses of wheres the wally type people that keep you interested and have enough variety to keep you plonking in odd bits to keep you happy. The final pictures the Van Haasteren puzzles make plus some of the others are worth framing. We also do 'Bits and Pieces' (Canadian) shaped puzzles which have varied and interestingly shapped pieces and whose paintings are bright with not too unblended colours making them simple enough to do even with our old eyes. Of course if you want difficult there is always a puzzle featuring a picture of rice grains and other real trickies around. Normally we only do jig saws at Christmas but this years weather has kept us at it until now and given it's still cold... -- On Tue, 9/3/10, George Pearson <[email protected]> wrote:

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about the adverts that sometimes appear at the bottom of messages (the reason our service is free), or something else that needs investigating? - george [canals-list co-manager] www.canals.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
