Today my sister and I did a canal walk from her house into Birmingham town centre, with a couple of detours along the way.
Under Spaghetti Junction we came across this guy using a large magnet to ‘fish’ for metal in the canal.
A couple of hours later, after we’d left the towpath in search of other delights, we met him again nearer town, and had a chat. He said he hadn’t found much, but was enjoying his new hobby.
Ps: we forgot to ask his name, but we decided he looked like a Mickey.
