A famous UK saying that came from the long history of barges and canals here where barge poles were 10 feet long for a reason!

There are SOOOO many thangs that I’d NEVER touch with a 10foot Barge Pole.

And some I would.

A bald man. Yes. A Wally. Yes. A Peperami. Yes. A Dirty Mop. OK. A tea towel…dayindayout :o(

A MAGGOT – Nope. Never. Maggot Cooties can travel all the way up a barge pole. just the same as certain ootoobers :o(

Gotta LOVE the Irish sense of humour. Yes?

I AM A #COOTIEFREEZONE 🙂

I live in a place full of defunct canals. I’d go into the Local History but I can’t be bothered right now.
