The study also revealed other pollutants, including ketamine and prescription drugs, highlighting the extent of chemical contamination, albeit at extremely tiny concentrations. Still, such findings raise concerns about the health of aquatic ecosystems and their long-term stability.

Researchers from King’s College London and the University of Suffolk uncovered a startling discovery in England’s waterways. Every freshwater shrimp tested, across 15 sites was found to contain trace amounts of cocaine.

Yes indeed. Credit where credits due. They were superb. And all because of the ineptitude of a boater who fled the scene and didn’t even report it.

On Saturday evening a boater managed to take Rammey marsh lock off its hinges. Sunday morning CRT arrive and assess. By Tuesday, CRT they have brought a crane and fixed it. Bravo CRT. #ukcanals

Ha! I’m experiencing something similar. It’s annoying but then again maybe it’s good that despite all our human knowledge we still cant fully understand the elements.

A narrowboat moored by the lock. A bearded man emerges followed by an old white dog. “Come on let’s go for a walk.” The man strides off. The dog is in no hurry. It is smelling the lock post. “For fucks sake come on”. The dog stops its sniffing and grudgingly pads towards him.
