As someone born and bred in the Black Country........

Do you come with subtitles then? Hopefully the sinuses have cleared up in a warmer clime.

 :D

Looking forward to seeing an armed narrow boat. Bloody nice work to date Rob.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Great work Rob, they certainly look the part.

Out of interest, there were a fair few steel boats about which would look little different to the older wooden types; but giving a little more protection.

Are the towed 'cargo' barges available? They might make useful troop carriers, or weapons platforms if they are.

Do you come with subtitles then? Hopefully the sinuses have cleared up in a warmer clime.

You're confusing us with Brummies. We speak the King's English properly... even if that king was Penda.  ;)

I will admit I could never understand a word anyone from Gornal Wood said though.  >:D

You're quite right, consider your moderator moderated. We should of course keep things on topic.  :)

Excellent, I love the Matilda II and Light VIB turrets on 'Old Ironsides'.   :)

Shame there wouldn't be room on the canal for a Chinese junk... you could call it the "Yo'm in Lye"  ;)

Very nice indeed, but I shudder to think what the backblast from the multi-barreled rocket launcher will do to that canal boat (not to mention the poor sailor standing there).
