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

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!
