Kingston this saturday

[Cuchilo]

Anyone going on the protest about licence prices tomorrow ? I hear the have opened the locks so people from up river can get there ( Not sure how many locks but Penton Hook was mentioned)
Also heard that visitors are getting cheap licences so they can do thier Christmas shopping in Kingston /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif That should wind a few people up !

Can I be a scaredy cat and say that last weekend I found the river a bit, erm, lively, and as I write it seems a bit high and turbulent. i think I might opt out and watch the rugby in a cosy pub.
