C&RT are the navigation authority for the inland waterways system including the North Oxford Canal. They refer to the landslip currently blocking passage between Rose Narrow Boats at Fosse Way and All Oaks Wood at Brinklow as EASENHALL CUTTING, and as they are the authority arranging repairs it seems obvious to use their name for the stoppage. Yes, I moor about a mile away from it, it's called Easenhall Cutting, not only by every boater on this stretch of water but by everyone who lives in Brinklow and the surrounding area. But, you know, Tony Dunkley could start an argument in an empty room. You can't fix stupid.

Yes, I always think that area is your home turf. We'd moored at All Oaks Wood for many years, giving access to the charming village of Brinklow, without being aware of its 'infamy' ... and of course it was you Mr Stabby who brought us up to speed 😁 Rog

I'm a big fan of Silverline tools etc. Although they aren't professional quality, they're good DIYer quality and not expensive. I agree with this, when I was looking for some combination Whitworth spanners the choices were sparse. But Silverline did a set, and when measured with a micrometer (like you do) they turned out to be surprisingly accurate.

It always amazes me when I've set the jaws and made a turn, that the spanner is either too wide or too narrow when trying to refit on the flats. The smaller the setting, the more noticeable it seems. You can tell how good a quality and adjustable is by rocking the moving jaw.

Its handy in case of needing to hit someone. Terrible tools but that one is actually very good quality. The blood letting is amazing. This one goes up to eleven with the sliding jaw. The tolerances are very impressive in their smallness.

You can tell how good a quality and adjustable is by rocking the moving jaw. They are really only any use when undoing a nut and bolt combo when you only have one spanner of the required size. They are reasonably ok at holding one end still while spannering the other end but that's about it.

C&RT are the navigation authority for the inland waterways system including the North Oxford Canal. They refer to the landslip currently blocking passage between Rose Narrow Boats at Fosse Way and All Oaks Wood at Brinklow as EASENHALL CUTTING, and as they are the authority arranging repairs it seems obvious to use their name for the stoppage. Whatever I or anyone else chooses to call it is irrelevant and could cause great confusion. Far simpler for everyone if we use their title so we all know to what we are referring. Rog When it comes to matters of truth or fact, . . Alice, . . absolutely NOTHING that comes from C&RT can ever be accepted at face value, or relied on in any measure. Quite how or why you think referring to Brinklow Cutting as Easenhall Cutting will eliminate any possibility of confusion is contra to all sense or logic. Read the below sentence from my earlier post again. "There isn't an 'Easenhall' Cutting anywhere on any C&RT controlled canal or other inland waterway, . . Alice, . . and certainly nowhere along the North Oxford between Sutton's Stop and Braunston Turn. There is, however, a Brinklow Cutting, . . constructed to by-pass and replace the winding contour length of the North Oxford that originally passed through Brinklow village itself, . . " The cutting - Brinklow Cutting - has the side-bridge into what became Brinklow Arm at its Northerly end, . . and it's got Brinklow Road Bridge crossing it at its Southerly end. It would take a very special sort of prat - the hordes of them at C&RT, or a few like you and your low-life lying arsewipe of a pal Coventon - to even think about calling it anything other than Brinklow Cutting.

No it hasn't, there is no such bridge as "Brinklow Road Bridge". Easenhall Cutting has Easenhall Lane Bridge at its southerly end. Please stop posting complete and total bollocks.

Here we go, an adjustable wrench that maintains its size once set...

Unusual. Is it a Brinklow or an Easenhall wrench?
