On Saturday evening, a hapless Land Rover driver decided to try some high jinks fun at the Slipway pub near Burscough by driving the vehicle down the concrete slipway into the Leeds and Liverpool canal.
Unfortunately the driver didn’t realise that the concrete slipway ended not far below water level and the canal bed was a good bit lower than the concrete; the Landie slipped in too far and he couldn’t drive it out again - and it didn’t float.
He was eventually rescued by a Range Rover, but it provided a bit of excitement for local people on a Saturday evening visit to the pub.
