The Stourbridge Lion is the narrow boat where I live some of the time as well as my home town-although not for many years. Of course S/Lion has a railway connection as the name of the first locomotive to run in the USA at Honesdale, Pennsylvania and for those with a historic interest in steam will know that the original was similar to Agenoria in York museum. It was built in Stourbridge and someone painted/chalked a lion on the front of the boiler prior to exporting-hence the name.
Anyway-thanks for the well wish. I think the question is quite a tricky one to answer!
