Today in 2016 on the R.Yonne. This hire boat had tried to reverse inside the pontoon as all places were full and he picked up a lump of wood which jammed the prop. The hirer hoped his insurance would cover the cost!

How about this - could happen if flash floods happen later in the year

So, the Hereford Times is shamelessly publishing actual fact news now.

The city does flood in certain places near the river, but it would be "loading animals two by two" conditions for Broad Street to be under water.

At least the water was clear enough to see what you were attacking. On canals it is all too often a matter of working 'in the dark'.
