Only thing to rival all those those Thames "Punchupatlocks" head lines was the following tale.,,,ahem

Man wants to go up to pub.
SWMBO sayes NO.
Man announces he is off the pub....come what may.
Wife informs him that if he goes up pub,she will...................set fire to boat.
He goes up pub....













She sets fire to boat......

Wife sets fire to boat again !
Wife pulled from burning boat.
Wife is arrested.

That's no way to talk about Sue.
Great photos Fred, looks a well organised event.
 
Looks as if you have a lot more fun, and let your well hair down - than we do on the Thames.

In comparison we're a right miserable lot....
 
Yeah, just think if the ATYC Rally was anything like that!
