There is certainly more to 'spot' on the canal.

Undertow, wind direction & on the canal locks & boat movement, cause the flotsam & jetsam to move. (from an anglers perspective).:)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

There is a guy who is fishing in the canal almost everyday. Wonder he catches anything that is living?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I can see you are as mesmerised as I am, I will try and determine if it is a foam or water extinguisher, and most importantley the brand.

I did have a look briefly, but had to close the site. You can only take so much excitement on Saturday morning

Re: Alcohol/Canal

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Further to all your requests for more information with regard to the extinguisher, I can now report it has passed Riley's swing bridge and is heading towards Church. However if you look at the photos you will see a barge heading towards it from the Church end, this puts a variable into the mix in that will the wash from the barge may induce a change of direction. Stay tuned for further reports.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

It boggles the mind to think that people will hump rubbish miles to dump in the canal, when it would be easier to take it to the tip or have the council collect it.

I noticed shopping trolleys were there in large numbers, now don't get me started on shopping trolleys or I will have to upload my photo collection of aquatic trolleys....................I think I've said to much on trolleys....will leave that one there

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Our record for trolleys was 46 all taken from the Blackburn flight of locks when drained for winter stoppage work, the record for off the boat collected belongs to the Burnley mile we got 18 on one pass of the mile:eek: the only good thing about them was we could weigh them in for the jolly boys outing at christmas:alc::alc:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

You have to ask why the supermarkets dont keep a tighter grip on trolleys, they cost a fortune to purchase.

I always thought it would be common sense to have to install a quid in em, returnable when brought back to bay, Airports do it, but it seems beyond those numpties.:rolleyes:
