Actually too much Vitamin C can cause kidney stones. Always look at the UL of things. They are constantly reevaluating them, so I relook at the things I take every few years.

People also use the shifts and growth in understanding of science as a reason to not care or trust it. Which shows a fundamental lack of understanding of science. Not only the mechanisms but also the importance of the philosophy behind those.

Long ago in a galaxy far away, I remember fishing at the Foss Basin (Now called Castle Mills Marina) next to the lock gates and weir. A barge called Reklaw used to use the lock regularly, it was a coal barge owned by coal distributors Walker, who were based next to the River Foss at Layerthorpe (I think!). The Foss Basin locks (Now called Castle Mills locks) used to be manned full time in the sixties as I recall and fishing was not allowed from the island. The RSPCA was also based at the Foss basin too as I recall. Or was it the PDSA... So many wonderful memories from long ago! Thank you for reminding me!

Gosh, Castle Mills lock looked hard work and a very unusual mechanism. Gathered from the 'extra' bods on board you were being filmed. Is this for Narrow Escapes? Great video of your journey. X

Yes, we were actually being filmed for season 3 of Narrow Escapes so it may be a while before we are on the TV. Thank goodness for the IWA and River Foss society volunteers who locked us through Castle Mills, it has rather an unusual lock mechanism.

@MinimalListMaximalVelocity I googled Tasmanian small towns to compare with Naburn and there were a few around 516 including a seaside fishing town of Swansea. Most of the smaller towns have about 800,the city of Launceston where I live has 77000

Enjoyable trip thank you, so sad the waterways are so overgrown even the lock gates are camouflaged., the gates also need freeing up that poor lady was struggling.

Absolutely astonished that you got so far. Well done! When we tried it back in the day (turn of the century), we only managed to get between the bridges at Layerthorpe before we ran aground. My mate had to get out into the river and push, whilst I used the barge pole! Amazing stuff - has to be some kind of record I would have thought. What a triumph!

"council housed and violent" as an etymology for "chav" is a backronym (just like .e.g "Port out, starboard home" for "posh") - an acronym made up after the fact. Most acronyms cited as the origin of words are actually backronyms, especially for any word that originated before circa world war I.

Caster Sugar - we have to put regular sugar in the blender and whiz for a second. Saran/surround Wrap - LOVE it. Cobblers - BS. The herb, no.. the herb. I am trying to work whilst listening and laughing too hard. Cilantro - blech. It's a doddle! I use so many of these because I was in boarding school in Sussex. Then moved back to the States. My husband will watch a BBC/ITV show with me and suddenly say - THAT'S what you mean!!

There are many regional variations of words in Australia. Tasmania being an island does not use words in common use in the rest of the country.

@MinimalListMaximalVelocity I was born in Victoria and came to Tasmania at age 3 . Mum found that the words Cordial and Soft Drink mean different things in Tasmania. Cordial is for adding water - Soft Drinks are carbonated.Was very confusing to Mum at first because shopkeepers did not understand.

As a wannabe retiree narrowboater, thanks for being candid about the social aspects of canal/river life as I would be a singleton boater (I might eventually get a bit lonely with just myself and dog for company) Also very full of great boat choice practicalities 👍 You've given me quite a few things to look out for when I finally perchase my boat My retirement is next year so its research time 😅 Ive been debating if I should keep a small base on land A foot in each camp (if I can afford it) Maybe split my time/seasons between boating and land might help me to keep some grounded community.. Umm... food for thought Thanks to both of you Take care And keep warm 💗✨️🙏
