Traveling on the modern rail, it’s impossible to know how many relics of the past we unknowingly zip by. Those who stumble upon them could scarcely imagine working the old quaries, and those who work them could scarcely imagine the modern world. I wonder what they’d think of us.

It's for you to pull Dan in a game of tug of war
Tetanus incarnate. Lovely.
There is steel rope like this in Cefn Onn in Cardiff. ❤
They are us, jealous of what we got, and sad we discarded their hard work to get you there.
Dude, I cannot express enough how much I absolutely love your channel and wish I lived on a narrow boat.
How much do newer ones go for?
My great grandfather wouldn't like us. His whole job was to operate a water pump in a quarry and now that quarry is a giant lake 😞
They would probably shake their heads gently in disappointment. How easy life should be nowadays compared to what they worked through and yet a tiny group of people seem to stop at nothing to make it hard for the rest of us.
They'd think we were soft, dumb and uncivilized.
Man, I remember getting tangled up in a bunch of old rusty barbed wire in the middle of the woods. It was brown with rust so almost invisible in the brush. Why someone just left it there, coiled up I don't know, but maybe they didn't expect someone to be walking around there half a century later. Had to get a tetanus shot after that.
If anyone from back then could see us now they'd think we've gone mad and extremely weak giving our country away without even a fight.
They wouldn’t recognise their home now that’s for sure
Scarcely
