Howard, before I became a (moderately) respectable museum curator I did some boatbuilding, quite a lot in Cheshire. Where I was living was where I was tied up, you probably know there were dry docks at Middlewich and Dutton, and Pete Shrubby had a yard at the Sprinch in Runcorn. Chester had Taylor's Yard, run by David Jones. Perhaps you and I overlapped at certain pubs, the Hollybush, Midlewich pubs such as the Big Lock and the Whore's Bed and numbers of other canal side pubs, remote ones like the Bird in Hand for instance. No Austin Sevens, can only remember battered Morris Minors and early series Landies then old and disposable but now highly collectable. I think the cut hss changed almost out of recognition since then. That's enuogh, we'll send the others to sleep.
From this evening, event and rally prep in the hope of resuming sport, will have to be done on the kitchen table with maps and fiendish googlery. Hope all is as well as possible in Mid Wales, here the market has been closed, preventing us from buying freh local veg, cheese etc outside and thus making sure we have to queue to get into a supermarket. End of rant.
