Possible ongoing problems at middlewich

Nothing to do with acc, this is my view and opinion of you. You're a thick lefty twat living life through rose tinted glasses. 

I understand and accept that this a unmoderated forum and members can post what they like, including personal insults.
With this I have no problem.
I'm just wondering how we can get you two in the same room face to face and sort out the problems you have..
I'd pay to see that.👍👏

Save your money, Richards wouldn't turn up. He never does. Even when CRT have gone out of their way to invite him to meetings, he never shows up, it used to be a standing joke. BW once made him look a complete idiot, and he never attended a meeting again.
When CRT refused to disclose information to him on one occasion, he replied "I will make something up then", and that is the sort of level he operates from, hence his present position and drivel writings.

Slowing of a leak of this sort, or even the appearance that it has stopped will almost certainly be down to dead leaves and twigs, small stones, creepy-crawlies, silt/mud particles, plus bits of the assorted general muck that's found in the bottom of any canal being drawn into the hole/gap in the clay puddle lining by the water that's running out through it.

The real concern here is that from the moment the water was let back into that length of canal the process of saturating the earth which the entire  embankment is made of will have begun again, concentrated now around the aqueduct over the Nantwich Road, . . a matter of a few dozen yards away from where the cut bust last March. If the embankment earth in the vicinity of the A530 aqueduct is allowed to become wet enough to become unstable enough to slip, there will be another breach.

My personal take on this is that another breach here soon after C&RT spent 9 months and £3 million to not repair the last one properly would probably be the best thing that could happen for the future of our waterways, . . it could well help to finally bring about the end of the disastrous chapter that began in 2012 when the Government entrusted a valuable, publicly owned national asset to a bunch of incompetent, irresponsible, and dishonest clowns.

Its tempting to think another breach would be a "Good Thing" and it certainly would be quite interesting but what would be the outcome?

If it did significant damage to CRT, which seems improbable, in what way would this benefit the waterways system? Who else is going to sort it out.

Hiya Met.

Not good is it.

However C&RT claim a new elsan will be built and open for use by this summer in the Wrenbury Whitchurch area.

Based on precedent, I wouldn't put money on it happening, but we'll see.

Water point(s) at Ellesmere. You can also fill up at Blackwater Meadow Marina (Ellesmere) (and they might have an Elsan hole there too), and there's Chirk Marina which has water + Elsan. Anyway, you can use any ordinary toilet for emptying an Elsan, but it's handy to have water in 5-litre container(s) as flushing water. You can nip into Ellesmere Tesco's, for instance, and pour it down their loos.
In emergency, just dump it in a hedge (on top of a sleeping Andyberg?) and use canal water to flush it - I mean, cows and horses poo all over the place, what does it matter?

The marina at Wrenbury may provide water if you ask nicely and pay something for it (they have to buy it, after all).

(Blackwater Marina let us use 240v electricity so we could vacuum our boat - they said they hadn't been asked that before, and as we filled up with diesel there, waived any electricity charge. Nice and polite they were, thumbs up from us).
