  1. @indiaknight In other words, the auguries are good :-)
  2. @indiaknight "2 June 1953 was an atrocious day in the middle of a lengthy spell of atrocious weather" weatheronline.co.uk/reports/philip…
  3. @MooseAllain I've never managed to get Grandmother's Footsteps to work (mainly because I am my own granny)
  4. @indiaknight You'd hate living on my narrowboat then. I'm often woken at dawn by swans & ducks pecking at the weed on the hull.
  5. @whispermab @Livingafloat Pinter, in 'The Caretaker', had a related view about Guinness bit.ly/Lx77Fs
  6. @BW_South Yes, I heard that fact a few minutes ago too! :-)
  7. @richardf Style guidance: widebeam or wide-beam?
  8. At Waterways Renaissance Awards, Birmingham tonight. Flattered to find Robin Evans recognised me, even to extent of smiling at my new tache.
  9. @abigailjenna @Coalboat I suspect it's not an official BW sign.
  10. @jreynoldsMP Thanks, have emailed her.
  11. @jreynoldsMP I do news for Waterways World mag. Saw your story about Tesco trolleys in the canal at Stalybridge. Who's best to ask about it?
  12. Blog post: Roadside shrine gives me a towpath maintenance idea bit.ly/L8IoYm
  13. @mortaltaste @MooseAllain Since I am my own granny, this is impossible to gainsay.
  14. @novascotianboy How much is buying the article online?
  15. Hitting the fleshpots of Norwich tonite before a day on Norfolk wherries tomorrow. At the famous Murderers pub. yfrog.com/kggkbmsj
  16. @Pamamacs Unfortunately I have to use my boat as a shed :-(
  17. @BBCr4today Those of us who live on canal boats know the problem of #storage.
  18. @ChrisGPackham Depends where the cow parsley was. It can be a nuisance to some of us!
  19. @ladydebbieanne I'd imagine media spots are pretty much everywhere. I heard 'my' spot would be Lambeth Bridge, at the start.
  20. @corrie_corfield How about 'to-tull' as a compromise?
