No troll, just a few heartfelt words from one who has seen some lock-keepers flex gracefully with the changes while others became caricatures of their kind. Very glad, on a recent trip, to see some familiar faces, even gladder to see a couple missing.

Hmmm, too many lock keepers who think they're skippers, IMHO.
They're the servants, we're their masters, and so long as they (and we) remember that, we all get on just fine.
Aside from that, they're no longer trying to hang onto the last vestiges of a dying profession, I'm afraid - rather, many are clinging to the coat-tails of a dead one, and should recognise that it's time to move on - perhaps literally as well as figuratively, in some cases.
I have enormous respect for those who get it right, but no time at all for those who've proven to be a pain in the fundament too often.

Err, Pardon! There really are some very strange people that inhabit our wonderful planet!!!!! Me thinks someone's been on the sauce?!!?

I concur.
Methinks he had a good bollocking by a Locky for going too fast in a lock stream

The scourge of Windsor, and notorious founder member of the 'Upper Thames Birchwood Massive' now outlawed by the EA and River pressure groups, currently planning a nice comfy retirement in the aft cabin of a Broom.
Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?
