Well, someone can get it right There's been a couple of elections taking place with implications for the waterways. You may have noticed them. One was for the governing council of the Canal & River Trust and, judging by all the complaints I've been hearing, it seems to have been a dog's dinner with people voting who shouldn't have been voting, people entitled to votes not getting them, and most of the electorate not bothering to vote at all. The other election - on the face of it, an altogether less significant affair - was for a new logo for the London Boaters group on Facebook. Now, for the benefit of the old crusties among you, I should explain that Facebook is the largest of the social media groups on the world wide web. It lets you keep in touch with friends wherever they are and it's used a lot by continuous cruisers. More importantly, it allows you to join groups of like-minded people with similar interests.
