Greyman 25,268 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I went to look at a boat many moons ago near Staffordshire it was on a narrow canal, first time I,d seen one as they seem more popular further north than me, I commented to this bloke about how small the canal was and questioned the boat would even fit, after being reassured by this dude that this was normal and he,d been on the canals all his working life so no problems, we left the marine through a tiny gap with a hell of a bang then continued down the canal until we hit a bridge then ran aground just after the bridge and got stuck in some bush,s trying to turn around, it was like a comedy sketch with me and my mate unable to even look at each other because we could,nt stop laughing and us trying to shift the boat with long poles while captain pug wash reassured us it was all normal, I never ended up buying the boat but think I laughed the entire 120 mile trip home so it was worth the journey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
