What will they dump next?

BRITISH Waterways staff are well used to dragging supermarket trolleys and the like from the waterways, but a complete box trailer?

This is what they found on the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation at Tinsley after having been notified by police that there was a trailer  in the canal, Alan Tilbury tells us.

It proved to be impossible to drag out of the waterway in one piece, it being so heavy, so eventually it had to be broken apart and pulled out piecemeal.  From the time the trailer was discovered to it eventually being removed, the navigation was closed.
