God bless the Lock keepers, they sorted it out. That's why we need them.

only lock keepers are normally found on canals, not rivers or brooks....maybe the water has just been drained away into the ground for a more sonic option

Lock keepers not found on rivers? There are 45 of them on the Thames according to the Environment Agency you lunatic. To help you, it's the river that flows into the sea not the canal which is basically a stagnant ditch. Get out more.

Doesn't look like much water soaked into the ground looking at all the cracks in the earth. The aquifers are so dry we could probably build housing estates down there. An underground canal network full of pretty red and green boats and smiley happy lock keepers...

Spot on CCC. Perhaps we should keep away from Headington as it appears to be a swamp with sonic water. I'm off to count the fairies at the bottom of her garden.
