I have recently been researcing a "Lighterman" on the River Severn.

 I had no idea what the job entails so found this site really fascinating

GM,

It would have been better to post your message about Tewkes' FHS on the main resources list where it is more likely to be seen by newcomers and appear on my  Resource Messages Index.

I am hoping that Arranroots is able to lock all resource messages to prevent any more of them growing like topsy and becoming too confusing to search easily.

Regards

Chas
