Boater turns up in a big boat“We’re lost. Which way to the River Trent?”“This is the River Trent.”“ Are you sure? We want to go to Nottingham.”“Just keep going. You can’t miss it.”
These locks are big with traffic lights. You NEVER run a red light.Boater runs the red light.We have words!His line?“Where is the sign that says I have to stop at a red light?”He’s going to report me for delaying him and spoiling his day.

What is it about a canal boat that it drains all the working grey matter from so many?
Top tip: if you go to the pub and decide to walk home along the river DON’ T FALL IN and get dragged over a large weir, land on a pile of rocks, develop hypothermia while spending three hours crying for help and need to be rescued by boat and taken to hospital So much paperwork
