Whatever happened it wouldn't have been Grant. I've cruised up and down the Thames, & on the East Coast with Grant for almost 20 years & he certainly wouldn't have been the cause. (for any that went to the Excel Boatshow & can remember the "Start Boating" display, that was Grant's Parkstone 28 as the centrepiece).
The OP said a call was made to Teddington Lock, and I notice one of our more regular contributors hasn't joined in this thread. Perhaps he shouldn't being the lock keeper, but he would know (depending on what was said in the phone call) the names of the boats or a description.

I say old chap, bit OTT with the old reaction dontcha think what ho pip pip !?
Think the old TMYC shoulders are broad enough to bear it if it wasnt them but had at least one occasion in the not too distant past where some of their boats caused me some inconvenience by inconsiderate behaviour - nuff said.
As for talk of libel and slander and whatever far too much angst for the jolly old Thames forum - facts seems to be that 'some' motor cruisers were behaving like cads and needs to be said sometimes.
Trouble is noone listens anyway so it will keep on happening and thats the sad bit.

No, Not guilty. I think that I've covered the subject sufficiently. I'd better not keep adding to the debate other wise I might end up a Forum junkie. 6298 - 6900- 819 posts. Get a life!

The reason some people have thousands of postings to their name is because they have been Forumites from day one and before... YES before.
The boating forums you see today are a reincarnation of ones started well over a decade ago and the post count was carried forward into the format you see today. Additionally they include postings in several other Forums.

If as you say these "other" boats had followed your mates, through Putney, presumably they would have all gone through Teddington lock together?
After all where else would a blue hulled large craft with a defaced blue ensign go??
So come on then, who were they?
