Geoff the Duck

I'm sorry to be a dampener but ducks can cope.

The guy who first coined the Brum canal length story admitted 30 years later that he never checked the facts. I saw him on local TV saying it so it must be true.

Now are we talking canals or canal length. And are we talking Brum in the 60's or with the addition of Sutton Coldfield and are we including any navigable drains and the Lake in Cannon Hill Park? Not that The Thame or the Rea are that navigable.

I still wonder if it's true because he also claimed more canal miles than Amsterdam.
