Re: Q. When is a tunnel not a tunnel?
So how does a duct differ from a tunnel?
Do you remember the scrapyard which was on top of a culvert (now, is a culvert a tunnel or a duct?) at Church and collapsed into it?

Duct.."A tube,pipe or channel through which liquid is sent.... Tunnel..."An underground passageway, esp. one for trains or cars.. Culvert.."A drain or pipe that crosses under a road or railway.... Happy now? The Stink and Tinker flow along and through ducts and culverts, NOT tunnels. The scrapyard collapse was about 10 years ago, was'nt it...or has there been another one since? |

Re: Q. When is a tunnel not a tunnel?
I always thought that when it came to the Stink and the Tinker, the ducks WALKED on top.

Re: Q. When is a tunnel not a tunnel?
Thank you for that enlightenment Tealeaf.
Yes, I suppose it will be about 10 years since that scrapyard fell into the water. There must be a moral in there somewhere.
