I'd suggested Stratford but that was deemed too far out. I didn't turn up the Ashby one though so thanks for that, Arthur. They wanted a "cruise" rather than a static. I thought there ought to be one in Brum somewhere (around Gas St) but when I suggested that, the reaction was that the guy's mother had a pretty low opinion of Brum and nothing he could do would change that :) > > There are (or were recently) static restaurant / cafe boats at Slaithwaite > (Huddersfield Narrow Canal), Lincoln and Manchester.
