“Canny” is a colloquialism particular to the North East of England and can be used as an adjective (rather than an adverb).  For example, in this context it can be read “I saw a fair/good few…”.  Its use in this context is nearly always superfluous.

No sh!t sherlock!

Sorry for stating the (apparently) obvious, only it seemed form your previous posts that you were oblivious to this use of the word canny.  Or were you simply being facetious?  I didn't pick up on it if you were.

aye aye captain!  :grin:
