since my first post I have flooded the kitchen, hall and part of lounge ! this happened whilst I was merrily typing [ two fingers like a woodpecker] away. Taken ten bath towels to mop it all up - the hot tap as well- and now I have loads of washing to do ! alba was it you who flooded out the kitchen a few days ago well I've "done an alba " !need to cook breakfast for Chief Stout, take the dogs out, leave lunch for CS and be out by 11am lifes not all leisure when you retire .
Gness love your canal story,truly do especially lending crutches to push the boat out what a hoot I would have wet myself laughing had I been part of it.
