You got it. The English and Welsh grounds Safe Water buoy and the forum Burgee based on English and Welsh flags.

Hoping to have the one fluttering in the breeze as I pass the other one on Tuesday on the way to Portishead.

OK, how many cranes are there on the quay side outside Bristol's (now closed for refurb) Industrial Museum?
They are on Princes Wharf alongside the Balmoral.
I'm refering to the old dock cranes not the new tower crane that is part of the building works.

There are 4 on tracks by the museum, and another one further down towards the Buttery (the one with the curved jib)

I have a recollection that there is a crane on a railway wagon. Can anyone confirm that?

What can often be seen on the BC, which was named after a Sir Walter Scott novel (which in turn was named after the ruins of the first Cistercian monastery in Britain)??
