    "Today this great waterway system has served its purpose - industry has
    turned its back on "the cut"; but, with "just a touch of Venice," Park
    Head Locks, Gas Street Basin, and Pudding Green Junction may come alive
    again - inland ports along a colourful cruiseway for voyaging into
    England."

    Brilliant!
    I used to know Ken many years ago (1970s) and 'Grange' was the first
    back cabin I ever slept in.
