My new project
« on: February 22, 2021, 03:02:44 PM »
My mate Lenny at Canal and River Trust has been put in charge of a small local canal (Nottingham to Beeston).  He has asked me to write a brief history of the canal since it was started in 1792  angel1

 Interesting stories, interesting events, interesting locations, what it was used for and so on.

Particularly fond of this:  In 1812 some muppet was storing many many barrels of gunpowder in a warehouse. Another muppet noticed one of these barrels was leaking. He wondered what would hapen if he dropped some hot ashes  onto the gunpowder.  facepalm: facepalm:

The resulting bang blew him 120 feet and destroyed three buildings and their contents and could be heard 15 miles away  noooo:
