At least canals are still useful to have around for recreational watersports.
The Internet has ruined me because I can't read the word "watersports" without thinking of the fetish anymore.
Ruined?
Gooned*
from the Olde English "guined" —an easy mix-up
Right, that's what the canals are useful for, what did you think they meant?
Well I am sure some canals are next to dogging sites
Not really. Most of these old canals were only a couple yards/meters wide and dried up 100 years ago.
But are they only 3 feet deep? /s
not enough attention is being paid to the drunken stumble into the canal that drowned someone! /s
If they're only a couple meters wide, how the heck are they supposed to fit watercraft?
The barges were just a little less than a few meters wide. The manpower to build a 100km long canal that is 2.5-3 meters wide is substantially less than what it takes to dig one 8 meters wide in the era before steam shovels.
Ahh that sucks, we have quite a few of ours still
And transportation
