Thread Name: Canal songs (UK)
Subject: RE: Canal songs
Thanks for the compliment T-boy but I got the words from the singing of David Blagrove and for years I thought that he had written it and always credited it to him but I have heard a rumour recently that it wasn't written by him (Dave B I think it might have been you who told me). All the same, a cracking song that I've had a load of fun out of over the years!
As for weedbox diving, the BCN is a much cleaner place than it was, you still have problems but I can remember one year on the Birmingham Level not being able to travel more than 100 yards without another nip down the inspection hatch. They don't tell you about these things when you're looking through the glossy brochures!
But just to slip in a quick Breezy type shameless plug, we have Dave Illingworth at Maidenhead FC on March 6th!
