This has just apperaed on the stoppages emails Slat Mill Lock, South Oxford
Thursday 5 August 2010 - Thursday 5 August 2010 During our emergency stoppage we found that the Babbie had been seriously damaged at Slat Mill Lock and needs to be replaced as a matter of urgency. This work will commence at 9am on Thursday 5th August by closing the lock for a period of 1 hour to remove the old Babbie, we will then reopen to complete the works to the Babbie on the bank side, then reclose again for an hour to install the replacement. Each closure is expected to last up to 1 hour. Enquiries: 01908 302500 Seems a somewhat harsh way to treat small children! So who knows what a "babbie" is in BW parlance? I certainly don't.
