'Enoch and Eli and the barge' and 'Butty and the towpath'? Sounds like somethink outta that ther Bible book - Nors Awk wern it?

Galen Sat 09-Mar-13 00:03:30

A barge is a canal boat and the Butty is the cargo container towed behind the barge. They were usually horse drawn. Through canal tunnels such as the Dudley tunnel, they footed the boat through, while the horse went the overland route!

Pete Sat 09-Mar-13 00:11:59

..I'd have let the horse lie down on the barge .....

Pint please..grin

Goose Sat 09-Mar-13 00:14:00

Galen that's interesting. I wonder how 'Butty' came to be another (slang, I believe) word for sandwich (usually chip) any ideas????

Galen Sat 09-Mar-13 00:23:48

Usual please! Is this slinky full length décolleté sequin dress ok? Or do you think it's a bit over the top?

Pete Sat 09-Mar-13 21:34:35

Bit over the top for 'Darts'...but whatever you're comfortable in.....

Galen Sat 09-Mar-13 21:51:47

Why don't you come up and see me some time?

Galen Sat 09-Mar-13 21:53:16

There's so little of this top that it doesn't restrict my arm or hand movements at all!
