		Ever since the appearance of the first locks on canals they have been a source of fascination - not only as an engineering marvel providing a simple yet effective means of lifting heavy barges almost vertically, but also as a hive of activity as handles are turned, paddles lifted and gates are man hauled.
		Not surprisingly, therefore, locks have also proved a magnet for those who like to watch others working - and it is to the most infuriating of these examples that canal folk have given the name Gongoozler.
		Often the lockkeeper's dim-witted assistant, the Gongoozler is much more of a hindrance than a help, drifting around the lock gawping at everyone else working and invariably getting under everyone's feet and hampering their progress.

	Gongoozler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gongoozlers are people who enjoy watching activity on the canals in the United Kingdom.
		The word "gongoozler" and the derived words "gongoozling" and "to gongoozle" may have arisen from words in Lincolnshire dialect: gawn and gooze, both meaning to stare or gape.
		Gongoozling can take place almost anywhere on the canal bank - a gongoozler may simply be a casual towpath walker taking a friendly interest in a passing boat.

		To GONGOOZLE is to stand by the canal and idly watch the passage of boats, especially standing by locks or on bridges.
		I find gongoozlers often very helpful on long flights of locks when I am single-handed, although it takes a certain social knack to rope them in and manage them as a team of ANIMALS or lock monkeys, and I've rarely managed this successfully.
		There's a mysterious site called Gongoozler which seems to be in the mid-West of America (Iowa?) and is little more than a cooperative of mutual bloggers, who don't say (or betray) much about themselves, except to their own friends.

		There was a high gongoozler quotient at Newbury Lock and a private boat had pushed in front of a hire boat waiting beyond the Town bridge.
