A Christmas Present to British Waterways
BWB Contractors;
Happy Xmas. Thanks for all the thorns u left on the towpath from us cyclists.
Now, I know that lots of you will be disappointed, you were hoping for some thorns of you own. Well, don’t worry, these were only the thorns collected between the George and A36 by our Creative Correspondent, there are lots more between Bath and Bradford. Simply cycle along there and you’re sure to be lucky enough to get some home with you.
Piss up, brewery
Saturday, December 17th, 2011These words will be contained in a description of almost any work carried out by British Waterways.
I walked 3 miles home tonight, bit chilly out. I should have cycled home but I had a puncture, another one.
Everyone I know who cycles, so most boaters, in the Limpley Stoke valley has had multiple punctures recently.
Why?
Because the organisation that can’t even think of a name for itself, had the hedgerow flailed and didn’t clear up the trimmings leaving the path strewn with thorns.
They have been notified. They have done nothing. Complaints have been made about this, there has been no reply yet because BW always take as long as they can to respond.
