Utterly furious! Angry9: Angry9: Angry9: Angry9:

 evil:Lock keepers were asked to turn out in force today to help marshal a flotilla which had announced it was parading from Nottingham to Newark with flags and video cameras.

Pissing with rain  evil:


Flotilla turned out to be ONE boat. ONE!

I left and came home via tyre place  Banghead
