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:

"NOT my fault" ........... Thumbs:       whistle:
