Bonkers day. Lots of newbies in varying stages of panic. Afternoon of several people so drunk they could barely see straight. Two out and out nutters. Boats coming from every direction.

Bonkers day. Lots of newbies in varying stages of panic. - Nick gives a good first impression.
Afternoon of several people so drunk they could barely see straight. - Have encountered Nick on a lock before and have prepared in advance.
Two out and out nutters. - They do say like minds attract

The phone goes: A narrow boat with a cargo of laydees on a birthday trip is on the way downriver. They are going for "lunch" at the Ferry Boat pub and returning later
Translation: A load of immense wimmin are getting pissed on a boat, are going to the pub to get even more pissed and sunburned and will make a chaotic return upriver at about 4.00

I arrive at the entrance to the Watersports Centre to find the road blocked
A jobsworth in a High Vis jacket wanders over:
Where is your pass?
Me: What pass?
The pass you need to get in
Me: I don't have one
You can't come in then
Me: Yes I can. I am the lock keeper
I know nothing about that
Me: Use your radio to call your boss
He does so: Guy her wants to come in. Says he is the "lock keeper"
Boss: Let him in
I drive another few hundred yards. There are dozens of vehicles and hundreds of people
I come to a road block

However, I am surprised you don't have a permanent pass for the Centre if your lock is in it.

It is normally an open facility. Anyone can go there and some people live on boats along the river.Only access is through the NWS
It also hosts lots of commercial outfits: climbing centre, canoe shops, cafes, water based kids stuff, adventure playgrounds......

Mac is my best friend
Mac is a bouncy dog. Mac can jump as high as my head eeek:
Mac comes to visit me a lot
Mac knows I have dog treats in my lock keeper bag
Today Mac followed me to my car and tried to get into it
Mac was jumping and nipping with his VERY sharp teeth at my lock keeper bag
My lock keeper bag contained, amongst other things, a can of beer left for me by a grateful boater
Mac managed to nip the beer can
My lock keeper bag was on the passenger seat of my car
My passenger seat is now full of beer and my car smells like a brewery evil:

Location Stoke Bardolph Lock
Woman with three children and a dog: "Excuse me but how can we get to the other side of the weir?"
Me: "Drive to Nottingham, cross Trent Bridge, turn left and follow the signs to Radcliffe on Trent"
Her: Is there any other way?
Me: "Drive to Gunthorpe, cross the bridge, turn right and follow the signs to Radcliffe on Trent"
She looks puzzled and I asked her if there was anything else...
Her: "We saw lots of people over there and wondered how they had got across"
Me: "Perhaps they live there"
This made her look thoughtful....

Just got home evil:
What a day.
1. Very windy so I did not expect it to be busy. Instead, constant stream of boats NickSick
2. A HUGE barge (posh sort) and a posh narrow boat were going through the lock when the Narrow Boat guy let go of a rope. Narrow boat smashed into the barge with a bang that could have shattered windows. Damage to both boats and of course, paperwork from me for CRT to explain what had gone one.
3. Then a lot of shouting. A hydraulic hose burst and sprayed a passing HORSE with hot hydraulic fluid eeek: Mass hysteria and NOT my fault
Lock out of action with boats waiting so called the boss. Engineer dispatched to fix problem
Fixed at 7.00 NickSick
Horse had to be hosed down noooo:
