Prunella Scales was in Standedge Tunnel the other week. Saw that. That Standedge tunnel is 3.25 hours of your life you won't get back. I wonder if they caught the kid who demolished thr bridge?

Marcus are you Seriously suggesting that folk are talking about canals to stifle debate ?.you're off your bloody rocket old son It was a noticing trend during the political debates in the run up to the general election too. Every time they were asked an awkward question they'd steer the discussion on to geographical features such as oxbow lakes. Classic tactics, tough subject, switch to canals. You're fooling nobody Ted.

Because the tunnels, to minimise cost, didn't have towpaths for the horses, the crew (or people hired just for the purpose) had to "walk" the barge....along the walls or tunnel roof. Bigger thighs than today's footballers...

Perhaps Chris Powell is like Timothy West on the canal boat, hitting the forward thrust too early. While still moored in fact. A loud crash but just a few broken plates. Eventually, there'll be light at the end of a very long dark tunnel. It's a slow, tedious haul but he'll get there in the end. Patience required.

What's that got to do with canals ? "Club For Sale" is the subject, Canals are just a derail attempt from the usual Happy Clappers, who don't like facing up to the reality that the Messiah may well have pulled the plug on Town's finance. There are no plugs in canals, it's just a fallacy made up for cartoons
