canalboat Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Does anyone know where the fuel boat Callisto is? Haven't seen him lately and he's not answering his phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Possibly moored at Claydon unless I'm thinking of the wrong boat, has been there for some time, I think at Gregg Klaes' wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of rows of boats moored three abreast there, I thought it was one of those. I thought Gunby was a character in Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Fortunately he could handle the very obvious implications of having that name, because even customs fficers couldn't resist "'aving a larf".

Jennifer McM Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Like my daughter's friend who was stopped by the police for speeding. The policeman asked for her Christian name, which is Lisa, then he asked for her surname, which is Simpson! The copper thought he'd caught a 'live' one.

You'll find it's a village in Lincolnshire where my great great grandfather was born, learnt the saddlery trade and moved to Slaithwaite. There is a hall there which I hope to inherit one day but feel my hopes will ultimately founder. Barrow hasn't been there since the summer Mike.
