"The aim of the project is to undertake a "backward looking" socio-economic evaluation. "

Blimey this forum will be mine of information about living in the past.

Err, I think you'll find, on analysis, that living in the past is a condition of forum membership. That said, I feel at home, surrounded by so many Uncle Alberts

I notice there seems to have been an earlier, unsuccessful, Tender:

Evaluation of the Performance of the Canal and River Trust [Notice]

What sort of organisation would secure the Tender? Accountants like KPMG usually. There should be a consortium of stakeholders shouldn't there?

Consult the stakeholders? What would Sir Humphrey say about that?

CRT is National not just the Thames

I know, it was a feeble attempt at humour. I should know better.

 

[Aquaboy]

Think someone needs to assess the PLA seeing as the Thames is closed at Richmond!! Never have happened in my day........

CRT is National not just the Thames

I omitted to mention that, for the sake of accuracy, CRT is not national, it covers England and Wales only.

Boer or Crimea ?

You were right the first time. England and Wales are nations, as is Scotland.

I was referring to UKGB&NI as a nation. Must agree to differ and get back to boating now, far more important, bilges to paint, decks to scrub, ensign to lower to half.
