What's your take on Brits believing in the "canal pusher" who pushes people into canals to drown? Canals are only 3 ft deep lol

Here's a photo of a drained canal which really highlights how shallow they are. Literal waist deep water at most I'm convinced "pushed into a canal and drowned" is the British equivalent of "fell out of a window" 😆

Is canal pushing a thing? It sounds like something that could be a lot of fun.🤓

@AdaXI When I was a child, a teenager died skating on the ice in the locks by me... I still remember that night - the blue lights of the fire engines against the inky darkness that was the floodplain as they worked to try to get him out before he drowned.

Read about the Manchester "Gangs" if you can find it.

I was surprised to find out how much crime and the amount of weirdo’s are around canals. I remember when I was a child and there was a canal thief on the loose when I went on a narrow boat holiday. I see it on YouTube as well.

Not all areas of a canal are 3ft deep. Locks are deep enough for people to swim in... and depth is of little importance when it comes to drowning - you can drown in a washing up bowl if you can't get your head above the surface.

@HootyTheNightOwl I would knock people out and put their nose in a puddle if I was a serial killer.

@pride49 That's pretty dark pride49, you thinking about it enough to say it.

@SoftIceCream That's how most stories are written - someone thinks of an hypothetical situation enough to type it out.

How many people has Stephen King killed in his career???
