It occurred to me that your channel provides an historical perspective of England’s canal system, and you have fostered interest in the eyes of the public that the development of the canal network was the backbone of the industrial revolution. More importantly, you’ve fostered interest in conserving the canal system as an integral element of British heritage that should always be maintained and enjoyed.

My mum and dad had their wedding reception in the Waterloo Hotel about 70 years ago! She said it cost 3 shillings and 6 pence for adults, 1 shilling and 6 pence for kids and 5 shillings for table wine. She’s 93 now but has loved seeing old Runcorn on your vlogs. I’m really pleased you have been made so welcome in my home town. 😊

We love the history lessons! AND the outtakes! As Americans, we would never know if you mis-pronounced EVERYTHING!. Thank you so much.

There’s a good parable relevant to you guys... “A man who was traveling came upon a farmer working in his field and asked him what the people in the next village were like. The farmer asked "What were the people like in the last village you visited?" The man responded "They were kind, friendly, generous, great people." "You'll find the people in the next village are the same," said the farmer.” Everywhere you two go, you’re greeted in that same warm, open, friendly manner ... says a lot about you I think. A really interesting video again.. especially about the dry dock... I never knew they existed . More of the same please!

When I were young...(my best Aussie Yorkshire accent) and railways were more than government financial liabilities, those hand cranked cranes were to be seen in nearly every suburban siding around Sydney. Really took me back... Again, a bloody interesting trip today, this is becoming obsessive viewing. Thanks gents (and Otis), stay well and safe travels...

Hello lovely fellas......ooooh, ironing board covers....there’s a boring Zzzzz 😁 Looks like you’ve found dry dock heaven. I love volunteers.....their heart & soul goes into what they do....bless them! I feel like a 140 yr old crane today.....the garden weeding is killing me! 😁 Very interesting how they fill and empty the dock. ‘Waters Meeting’ I love that name. Friendly lot on the Braymar! Otis is so gorgeous.❤️ God I bet Runcorn stank with its Tanneries....no thanks 🤮. Who’s James Brindley ?? might have to rewind. Oh Otis, tell your lads we need you to have your own channel! 😁 2/3 of a million gallons.......that’s a lot! Lovely vlog, lovely fellas. I learn something new every week! Lots of love - have a good week. 😘😘😘

It goes without saying that the vlog was up to your usual high standard. But on a more serious note🤔. In spite of your own personal trial, difficulties and personal loss, a great bis thank you for being a great pair and providing all your fans with a weekly dose of your version of humour😂, the continuity of a regular vlog and for your "friendship". I am sure that you have helped many people with your laughs, knowledge and great wit. Thank you. Stay safe and healthy. Let's hope the worst is behind us but........

The trust should compensation you by giving your yearly fees to you free at the very least. Everytime I watch one of your vlogs I want to be on that canal. There is no other way I would rather see England then by narrowboat. Luv you guys. Have a great day. 🌼🌞❤

During lockdown I watched all your videos from the beginning until I caught up to a current one. So, Thank you for that. It gave me a wider view of the world while I was here in my village in Wales. What was great was seeing many places in NW England that I know so well. Last week and this week you mentioned The Bridgewater Canal, which interested me greatly. Only today I discovered in my family history research that my 4x Great Grandfather, Samuel Atherton (born 1810) was a flatman/waterman/sailor on that canal. My 3x GGmother, Mary Ann was born in Manchester but baptised in Warrington in 1829 - so obviously the whole family were moving up and down the canal. I am quite chuffed to discover I have at least one waterman as an ancestor! Thanks again for your videos. I look forward to watching them just after 4pm each Friday. BW. Chris.

Mount Vernon has fake windows too. President Washington wanted the house to look symmetrical. I never knew there was a window tax. Criminey! I'm all caught up on your vlogs, well from#119 anyway. Better go back and start with #1... I'm obsessed with you guys. XOXOXO! Thank you for HOURS of fun and learning!

Same here Rose. We have a little French Bulldog and although he’s a lovely little chap he’s a bloody nightmare sometimes. Chasing squirrels, chasing other dogs that clearly don’t want to play with him. He’s like that kid in the playground who wants to play with all the other kids but doesn’t get the message to bugger off😂

What a lovely video, thank you so much. I loved the dry dock section, it reminded me of going into a dry dock when I was in the merchant navy. By the way, I have used your beef stew recipe quite a few times and it is so sucessful, thanks. I am also an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and I wish that I could have been your celebrant, because I am sure your would have had a wonderful marriage. God Bless, Adam.
