lack of space in the car park at the Boathouse, Braunston

[matty40s]

 

No - one hurt,,amazingly.

Road resurfaced this morning.

A few visits ago there was a proper full sized army tank parked in the car park at The Boathouse.

 

Someone drove it away too, just as we were leaving. Just stopped off for a quick pint I guess, the same as we had...

I was there one day when a tank was in the car park, either a regular visitor or we were there on the same day.

I didn't realise the "two for one" offer at the Boathouse extended to parking spaces!

Nice one, but nothing on the alian space craft that was there when we were last there, they obviously appreciate a bargain in deep fat fried food too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The red is going down well tonight.....

It's a Spring Bank Holiday special promotion, 3 for the price of one.

 

Shame the kitchen can't cope though, meals going back left right and centre.

Is that a traffic warden issuing a parking ticket..?

Normal service surely...

 

Better than when I sent a steak back in the Hungry Horse at Hilmorton though, possibly. Waitress said something along the lines of "I'm not surprised you complained. We've had loads of these sent back the last few days".

P.S. I'm more intrigued about why there is a chair in the car park, next to the pile of vehicles...

Yes, for not parking properly between the white lines

I Like the use of the chair to stop the car leaving the scene (@;

That's why I always park at the canal side of the carpark. I've never seen a boat jump the bank.

I've known a car not make the A45 bridge and end up slightly waterlogged

Bloody nora, looks like my car. Just had to go out and check it is where it should be!

Many years ago there was a film that had that in. can't remember the name now .....

Any ideas?

I am glad you said that as not knowing the car park I was wondering how it got up there.

Ah, noted! It's our local next week. Have written steaks = rubbish in my notes. Is there anything edible on the menu or should we avoid it entirely? Are the beers any good?

The toilets are handy for those in the marina

Yes, it's on IMDB: The Car That Did Not Make The A45 Bridge And Ended Up Slightly Waterlogged.

 

Starring: Clint Eastwood: "This did not make my day", Sigourney Weaver: "In Braunston no-one can hear you scream" and John Thaw: "Lewis, this isn't Real Ale"

I would keep going past this pub, i have been every year for the last three years, every year it seems to get worse.

 

We stopped there a couple of months ago and the food was terrible, steak and chips with no garnish or salad, would have been better serving it in a cereal bowl rather than a plate.

Sorry to be boring:

That is the most accurate newspaper report I have seen in a long while. ☺

[BGA]

I like the phrase "was incredibly unhurt" I wonder how unhurt that was :-)

[Emerald Fox]

And at least the car was washed and polished for the stunt.

Eats, shoots and leaves.

"Was, incredibly, unhurt" would have made perfect sense.

 

Hang on, I have just read the newspaper report and that IS what they wrote!

They are getting ready to "single out" of the car park.
