It was known as Plantation Mill Lodge, I used to try and net tiddlers in there when I was a kid, 70 odd years ago, it looked very shallow, about a foot deep, but it was deceptive, I once pushed the cane of my net in, and never touched bottom.
Retlaw.

English is quirky. That's the explanation;) If you need any expansion, try Noam Chomsky's works on generative and transformational grammars. Reading them won't help too much, but they will put you into a deep, relaxing sleep. And when you wake up, refreshed, you won't worry about such mickey mouse stuff:D:D Oh, by the way, "coffer" in "coffer dam" is an adjective.;) Or, at least, adjectival. And in North America, "warehouse" can be used as a verb.

My mother was awarded a widows pension in 1995 for my father who was killed in 1944, not backdated. She died in 2001. Why winge?
My mother brought me up on 11 bob a week for fifteen years. I am now 71 years old and in moderate health.
I don't have to work anymore and am paid ample pension for my endevours. over the years.
Where unions have been involved the outcome has gone "Tits up", Miners,Shipbuilders,Car workers, now it seems the NHS is the target, not forgetting BA.
The alternative Labour government give us: The wrong Milliband, The ultimate Balls up, and the witch of balls up. need I go on on?

Re: What's a lodge to you?
 

A lodge, to me, is a small body of water. I spent many a summer swimming in the Coppice Lodges. When they drained them, several years ago, I was horrified to see how deep they were and how much crap was in the bottom of them. There was even a shopping trolley in the bottom of one of them. Who the hell takes a shopping trolley up the Coppice!!!!!!!
