Before it was unceremoniously closed, someone suggested on the Locks thread that Loch Lomond was the largest in the British Isles.
It isn't. That honour belongs to Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland. In fact, Lower Lough Erne is larger too. I just wanted to put that right. That's all.

Biggest by water volume is Loch Ness.
Also has the most monsters
Where the wandering water gushes,
From the Hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes,
That scarce could bathe a star.”
– Yeats, The Stolen Child
I still miss him so much.
See how you lot like it when you start talking about Lochs and I derail the discussion with pictures of locks.
@MrLargo get over here and tell them some more stories about your Citroen - they deserve it
Are they rust proof? Rust is the nemesis of most padlocks.
I'd say something like this is streets ahead. (It even has ball bearing inserts to prevent the coke can trick.) lockshop-warehouse.co.uk/acatalog/abus-pfaffenhain-padlock-83-80.html
You could use it to secure your boat on a lough.
Apparently the 4 most common categories of lock are deadbolts, knob locks, padlocks and levers.
Funnily enough, "knob lock" was the term my ex-girlfriend used to use when referring to her underwear. I remember on my birthday one year, she stared at me sweetly and said "get your f%cking hands off me, I've got my knob lock on and that ridiculous little thing certainly isn't the key to it! Just go and knock one out in the bathroom, you pathetic tosser!"
She had a real way with words, bless her.
