No doubt whatsoever on that point.
I suspect a few will be exiting before xmas. 😉

Let’s hope so. All the big tech companies have made lots of people redundant. So maybe it’s time for crt to follow suit.

They haven’t got an original idea between them. Don’t tell me the latest person they employed used to work for a prostrate cancer charity.

I think all cancers can do that.

We're asking you to take part in a ‘Canalathon’ raising funds as they walk or run the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles) along their local canal towpath across the month.

I once completed two marathons in one day.

I had 6 yorkie bars on a 18 minute train ride home from school in 1989. It took ages for the bloke in the shop to work out that Yes the boys from the expensive private school were nicking confectionary.

Some people and their assumptions !

Found out today that this gimmick wasn’t even a crt idea, they nicked it from a prostrate cancer fund raiser. 🙄

Does one get that from laying down too much?

As for this “The Canal & River Trust’s vital work repairing centuries-old locks, bridges, tunnels and aqueducts means that millions of people can live healthier lives," I wonder when those repairs are scheduled? Certainly needed round here, at least one paddle on every lock has a problem.
