    • @themeanderingmedic8533
      @themeanderingmedic8533 12 дней назад

      Hi. As its a canal flooding is less likely. The problem is that they built over alot of the by washes that usually route excess water around locks, so now excess water simply cascades over the top of the gates and onto your boat!!!

      Hi. Thankyou for coming along with us. As for beer. Lagers are drunk chilled as in the US. Ales are at cellar temperature as the casks are generally kept in the pubs cellar and drawn up by a hand pump. I guess that means that they are at about 10 degrees C
