Do they think we are all stupid?

[Steve kay]

Further indication either of the fact that it is a small world, or that some us choose to live in one, Roly who is a valued contributor to this forum, is also the editor of HA7C's publication "Crankhandle." This was circulated electronically today, and included an obit for well known Sevenist Ian Sly. I had bumped into Ian Sly from time to time at events, but had no idea of his history. He had in fact worked a long time ago for Tony Jones of Stroudwater Carriers, and Roly has used a picture of Ian Sly on the counter of Comet, working up locks that look like somewhere on  the BCN. Roly, would you be able to put a picture of a Seven owner steering a Little Woodwich on the forum?

Comet had been paired with Betelgeuse, which in time was used as the horse drawn trip boat for Nen Batten, Chester Packet, but that threatens a whole new range of canal anecdotes so it must be time to stop!
