If I were the Messiah, there'd be no need of causeway or ferry (much less the dreaded Tidal Barrage which is second only to Canatxx* & Joey Blower's Hotel in the the local controversy stakes). No indeed, I would simply walk across Canshe Hole from Fleetwood to Knott End, and back again, no doubt in the vain search for fishermen worthy of becoming fishers of men. I might make it was far as Skippool Creek, which I was told used to be known locally as Galilee - but only at high tide. Might take a toddle down there ourselves later today for a pint in the Thornton Lodge.

* Or whatever it is they're calling themselves now.
