I first spotted the extinguisher close to the Emerson and Renwick building in Church, it was then spotted moving toward Clayton, and was spotted adjacent to express gifts between the two bridges over the canal in Clayton, the last time I saw it , it was in the vicinity of Riley's swing bridge.

At the expense of sounding like a rubbish nerd I have never noticed flotsam move in one direction and keep going indefinitely without a reverse at some point.

I will stop there as I am starting to sound a bit anorak
That is brilliant, I for one hope you take the time to give the latest updates about the vicinity of the fire extinguisher.
It would also be interesting to note how close this item comes close to the edge of the canal or wether it floats mid-stream over a longer period.
