When a lock keeper has a word with you about the torrent of complaints from anglers, moorings and other boats about travelling at 4 times the legal speed limit do NOT say, “Piss off, Grandad”.

We lock keepers actually have ways of getting revenge  eveilgrin:

A radio call floods in. It’s a young woman.

I am on the way to you but the engine has caught fire and I don’t know what to do
 eeek:

I suggest you turn it off!

Good idea. Then I’ll phone my dad  :thumbsup:

I think she’s adrift…
