  7. It may seriously restrict the flow of water into the tank. Thinking about it didnt we have a posting like that last week, the tank was empty but they couldnt fill it
  8. Of course its damp, you have to have the engine open in daylight hours, regardless of weather so people can look in and go Oooo Arrrr
  9. Well it does rather prove I am not telling lies that I felt was being suggested earlier
  10. From this photo it looks as if the pound below the lock has dropped 6 to9" since the boat started to come out by looking at the water line on the wall and hull
  11. This was a comment on the newspaper report when someone asked how it happened No, there are earlier photos of the boat firmly wedged. This can happen because a brick has protruded from the lock wall over time or a ridge in the wall has developed at a particular height. It appears the owners tried the quite sensible remedy of opening the above paddles slightly and flushing the boat out the lock, but it remained wedged or caught on something so the extra water flooded the boat. It's always sad to see anyone's home and possessions get severely damaged like this, shame on those who think it's funny.
