Yorkshire holds its breath as the Leeds Liverpool canal suffers a catastrophic setback. The main shipping route for coal, whippets, flat caps and light ale is blocked until further notice.

Yorkshire is set to lose upwards of £3.87 a day until the carnage is cleared, which according to Uncle Eric in The Dog & Gun could take bloody weeks.

I've been saying for years that they should have cut a parallel channel.
It was bound to happen.
