Canal system?? What century do you think we are living in ?

Canals are a relic of a bygone age, great for taking a holiday on, I've enjoyed cruising on them myself, as a means to transport goods and services ....................... !?!?
you really are displaying you ignorance, canals are one of the most efficient forms of transportation, slow, but efficient as regarding the amount that can be transported in relation to fuel cost.
but let us put that aside for one moment, here are two other arguments why canal infra structure should be maintained for the tourist industry, and as a means of alleviating flooding and diverting water after very heavy rainfall.
however European money has not been used for that nor for railways or any other infra structure, with the exception of a few ill
advised road projects.
