You may have dropped a bollock there Nick, what are the rules for salvage in regard to abandoned canal boats...?
It was recaptured (at ENORMOUS EXPENSE) some miles downstream by River and Canal Rescue who have it in their possession....
Day 5 of my lockathon and then a Zoom meeting when I get home
Another bonkers day and I am redder than a red thing
Had to haul TWO 80 foot narrow boats off the stupid sandbank and nearly ruptured myself
This week I are mostly being completely bladdered...
