Or a JCB could accidentally swing into it... didn't that happen in Castletown a few years back? Or the cliff will fall on it again. I'm suprised that's not the most pressing matter to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 36 minutes ago, Roxanne said: “There wasn't a man in Oakengates That hadn't got hold of the tale, And over the valley in Ironbridge, And round by Coalbrookdale, How Captain Webb the Dawley man, Captain Webb from Dawley, Rose rigid and dead from the old canal That carries the bricks to Lawley.” You've earwormed me now, so you too must suffer: (Why do people think of Betjeman as a jolly poet? No writer in the 20th century is more obsessed with death and decay: "In Highgate now his finger-bones/Stick through his finger-ends"). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
