Did Archie (the exploding grandson???) like the canal boats? Only there’s another festival in Tipton this weekend. Over 60 barges and a number of stalls.
It’s around Neptune Health Centre, Sedgley Road West, Tipton (which is how I know about it obviously as this is one of my sites!). Just up from Mad O’Rouke’s
We’re going Saturday with our granddaughter

Nerd alert - they're probably narrowboats rather than barges.

Yes he did...As Sandwell Crime prevention we are one of the stalls at Tipton Boat festival next weekend.
See you there on Saturday.
They are narrow boats, not barges or longboats.
As for the exploding bits, when Archie is playing on his own with toy figures or cars, they all explode, with sound effects.

Barges won't fit in most canals as the locks are only seven feet wide

Narrow is cheap, but inefficient.
