It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye
I thought that I was the only child who was damaged by a canal trip to Selby. That was my first "Cruise".
My second was forestalled after about twenty minutes and we all came back by bus. The story of which was.... many years ago I worked for Tetley's. Our potty area mamger thought that it would be "fun" to have the area meeting on a barge going from the recently revamped canal basin in Leeds to some other hole [I forget]. We had only just gotten out from under the Dark Arches in Leeds when we found the canal blocked by empty [Tetley] barrels which had been dumped in the canal.
I was damged by that trip too, but only because we all came back and went on the lash around the pubs in Leeds.
Sidney Hound - Hello. What an interesting name you have. Your canal story easily beats mine, but, who knows, I may have more to say - we were supposed to go all the way to Goole ...
E910 GLM. White Vauxhall Cavalier. Saloon model, SRi fuel injection. It got written off on the A41 toward Hemel Hempstead when someone pulled out in front of us. I'll never forget the day we went to the garage to pick up the belongings left inside it before they scrapped it. My dad opened the door without turning off the alarm. And it wailed gently before winding down and stopping. I'll never forget the heartbroken look on my Dad's face when he finally realised his car had died.
Del - Lovely. You beat me too. I think ours was a cherry coloured cortina. When it was eventually traded in we had a blue car instead. I'm not good on cars.
Now all I need is a Rob Tasker anecdote...What are the chances of that?
Rob Tasker - I had such a crush on him! (We delivered his milk you know - his dog nearly bit me once).
J - I knew you'd come through!
