You know about the sandbar as you approach the lock?

Oh yes, know to avoid that!

We aren’t daft!

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?

Maybe it's the lock keepers  whistle:
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
