Just looked out of my office window in city centre Manchester. The window overlooks the River Irwell. Sad to say, the Irwell is not the prettiest river in the world. However, I've just seen a guy in a small mobo, the lucky man! Can't make out what boat it is for all you techy types, but it is a boat nevertheless. I want to be that man!

A bit of an understatement. Around Blackfriars, the Irwell is very shallow, so where did he come from?

It's OK. It was nothing too big. He has just come back past me following a rower. I'd still rather be out on the water (any water) though.

I used to live near the beginings of the irwell. It changed colour each day. Dependent on the dye being used at the mill.

Today, h, it is just it's usual mucky brown colour. No doubt by the time it meanders downstream & joins the Mersey it will have become a crystal clear marvel.

I love going down to the Mersey and watching the Mersey Trout frolicking in the clear waters.

I am not a northerner, so forgive me for asking whether this Mersey Trout of which you speak is a euphemism for something unspeakable, or yet another member of the piscine species sticking its tongue out and waggling its fins at you, whilst chanting "Ner ner ner, can't catch me"?

Probably related to its Southern cousing the Solent Trout? Often seen near the Solent Jellyfish, small and pink sometimes with a knot in its tail.

It is indeed an unspeakable piscine 'brown trout' often found in the Mersey and is never knotted.
I avoid catching them.
