It's a mug's game

We still have plenty of cloth bags from last year's Crick Show, so we didn't collect any more this time. One freebie I did pick up, though, was a rather nice mug from the Environment Agency's Anglian Waterways stall.

The mug features a topographical map of the Anglian waterways, many of which we covered last year. It's attractively done in the style of a London Underground map.

Unfortunately ... there are several mistakes. Not necessarily in the layout, although some of the Middle Level navigations seem to be missing, but in the spelling.

The Cambridgeshire Lodes, for example.

Oops!

And the River Wissey has gained an extra "e".

It's a pity the EA doesn't seem to know their partner navigation authority is the Canal & River Trust.

I wasn't going to mention the missing apostrophe in King's Lynn, but it looks like I just have. Oh dear.

Sorry to be such a nit-picker! I'm sure it will hold a portion of tea perfectly well.

Morse would have had a field say, except that he was Dark Blue, not Light Blue.
