.@YorkshireTea There's an horrific comment in @guardian about brewing tea with water at 80 degrees. Can you confirm the best temperature for a proper brew?

Still reeling from fact that Sajid Javid is a career banker & paid senior adviser to JP Morgan - who happens to be a major player in private healthcare. Safe in his hands? The NHS as we know it has never been more threatened.

.@jimallthetime we've just had the devastating news that our much hoped-for summer trade will be decimated by a three-month closure of the canal towpath and moorings in #marketdrayton. Couldn't have been planned at a worse time. https://t.co/ABCtx3rF1o

The towpath might be closed (well done @CanalRiverTrust ) but our business will be open.

Would it be possible for @CRTContactUs @CRTWestMidlands @CRTnotices and any other CRT department to let boaters know that they might not be able to moor at #marketdrayton this summer, but they can still stop for fuel and other services. Otherwise, we're stuffed. @waterwaysworld

When you're looking forward to the first summer's trade for two years and CRT decide to close the towpath and visitor moorings for three months. #waterwaysworld #canalrivertrust #richardparry @CanalRiverTrust

#TBT and @retired_tom has wound the clock back a long way for these wintry scenes. https://t.co/6PmZo9t80Z
@CRTBoating Just looking back through my very old archives (I was still at school when I took these) from the late 1960's around Locks 51 & 52 (Gas 1 & 2) #GrandUnionCanal #Berkhamsted

Another gem from the workshop. Here we have the perfect Morse control if you're restoring a vintage boat. This beauty is waiting to complete your project.

We were pleased to help out Misty Barnes #scousemegaphoneman as he canoes the canals with his family raising funds for Kids in need. Here's his JustGiving page.

We've had a set of boat keys handed in at Talbot Wharf. They were found on the water point at Market Drayton. Posting here hoping the owners see this message. Please share to other canal groups/pages so we can help the owners x

Need a prop? Have a look at this one we just listed on ebay, and get yourself a bargain. A modern version of this beauty would cost over £200 on a well know online chandlery site.
