To be fair the Medway, sadly, has far less traffic than the Thames and most of the time a resident keepr, certainly above Yalding, would have little or nothing to do.

The last time I was at Yalding, and the time before that, we had to call EA to work the bridge as public use had failed. I think Maidstone might be Jedi's limit though, I think I would bottle East Farleigh. And that's even though a previous owner had "Hot Todi Yalding" on the stern!
