Good to see he's been remanded in custard.

 

Must be a relief to all concerned.

The boat passed me about lunch time today heading down stream, steered by a young lad.

That'll teach him to trifle with the law

"many boaters in the area of the locks left their boats, taking shelter in the nearby Horse & Jockey pub for two hours" - haha, have to laugh at that! Brave lot.

A direct quotation from the newspaper:

 

"On police advice, many boaters in the area of the locks left their boats, taking shelter in the nearby Horse & Jockey pub for two hours as trained negotiators brought the situation to a peaceful conclusion."

 

I think you'll agree that your quote is subtly different from the original. What would you have done?

I shall be very wary of this boat when/if I see it. Even if possibly in the hands of new owners caution will be uppermost in my mind.
