    There are canals all over England. You can hire a canal boat to stay on and travel on. I lived on one about 15 years ago in Nottinghamshire near the river Trent. It's a very peaceful way to live. There is also the Norfolk Broads, which is nearer London, where there are lots of opportunities to hire a boat.

    You can hire boats for vacations, like an RV on water - there’s thousands of miles of canals - they were the railways before the railways. People also live on them as ‘live aboards’. Bear in mind you will not likely be able to hire one on your own - although people will live on them alone most hire companies won’t want to risk someone unexperienced taking it out alone, mostly because of navigating locks. So it’s something you need to check with each company. You can also sign up for a narrowboat handling course for a day, that can be a good way to get the experience.
    You will likely be able to find a canal trip to join at the very least though

    Lipton’s is basically the stuff they couldn’t sell in the UK, because it’s very low quality stuff; you really need to try teas without all the sugar to really appreciate the flavours and blends

    Great series and the first time most brits had ever heard of Guy as the IOM TT wasn't something a lot of people were aware of at the time, I worked as an artist at Wedgewood while studying Sculpture in Stoke aka 'The Potteries' which is an area well known for it's pottery production, I've only cast from molten metal once though as it's kind of compulsory to do it at least once if you're studying sculpture, but it's never been a technique I used in my own work. One cool thing in Stoke is the steel works, I went there on a day trip to the part where they were making railway lines, they open the furnace doors while your stood a safe distance away and the heat is simply insane, it's actually quite scary, the massive bar starts off 12 foot long then after being passed through a series of rollers ends up 60 foot long, it's amazing watching heavy industry at work.

    You should come to Dudley where the Black Country museum is featured on the show. Not only does it have a huge canal network it also has some of the longest canal tunnels in the uk…could even try ‘leggin it’ (moving a canal boat through a tunnel with your legs). Plus you are also a stones throw from the Seven Valley Steam Railway also featured in Guy’s shows you have reacted to

    A lot of consumed tea is blended because tea can be quite bitter if not blended correctly. The 100% teas are an acquired taste often chosen because it is the first or only tea you've ever drunk, and the rest tastes like waste water after you're used to it.
    Another little known fact is that tea leaves have more caffeine in them than coffee beans. _Caffeine is a naturally occurring pesticide that’s found in both tea and coffee (as well as cocoa and yerba mate). There is more caffeine in the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, which is the only species of tea plant, than there is in the beans of either the coffea robusta or coffea arabica plant_

    One of my favourite British intentions is The Crapper (an intention of Mr Crapper, whose name is now largely synonymous with the facility, I'm never sure which came first, the name or the reference !)
    Tea has very limited caffeine in the drink without extreme measures to extract it. It is also a large part of why we survived moving into the cities for The Industrial Revolution with limited Dysentery ! Water for Tea needs to be boiled to make the Tea and boiling kills a significant portion of the bugs.
    Other way around, the Trucks superseded the canal boats (after the trains had mostly already superseded the canals first !)

    For canals I would say birmingham England. You can have trips etc. Nowhere in the UK has more than Birmingham, the west midlands was the heart of the industrial revolution, you have birmingham canals, iron bridge (frist ever iron bridge in the world), you have dudley -(black country museum). Bridge north etc. All around west midlands theres history. They have more canals than Venice in birmingham - but used horses to pull boats long before they had engines hence why there's always a path next to (you seen the man walking along).
    The reason it's called the black country is because Queen Victoria took a train through the area and she said everything was black due to smoke and sut from factories etc. Black by day red by night due to all iron furnaces.
    Definitely visit the black country museum if you want to learn about the industrial revolution. -(how people lived and how things worked). Probably the best place in whole UK to learn. Guy has been several times he went there in this & also in how Britain worked.

    You can hire canal boats for holidays and traverse the canals freely. You don't need special licenses and a few hours training and your away. BUT the maximum speed is 4mph and to go anywhere takes time...
    The network is massive across the whole of England, Scotland has a network too, but they aren't joined up.
