                                                                                                                        Dear Derek,
 
                                                                                                                        What can I say--rarely, if ever have we enjoyed a history presentation more!
                                                                                                                        Thank you so much for bringing "Up the Cut" to us.

                                                                                                                        Although we live quite a way from any canal system it seemed that many of us had a

                                                                                                                        reasonable knowledge of the canals and had visited stretches of them or museums.
                                                                                                                       You added so much in the way of fact and colour to our scant knowledge and we began

                                                                                                                       to feel we knew some of the characters and understand their way of life.
