Connaught - again!

[Actionmat]

At 2pm today, in the regatta channel at Thames Ditton, Connaught decided to overtake us, cutting across my bow, forcing/bullying
us into the trees and seriously endangering my passengers, one of which is a small child. They won't get away with it this time(I sincerely hope)as the waterways man from the EA was there. He had left teddington lock in his car at the same time as Connaught. Unbelievably, Connaught beat him to Hampton Court!

I'm still shaking over 2hrs later, it was the worse experience we've had on the Thames in 10 years.

Let us know what happens, please!

I also 'had a word' with the lockies at Teddington today about Connaughts speed in the lock cut.

Was Clarkson driving?

Not unless he's lost several stone !

Clarkson has manners compared to Connaughts skipper. That charlie made a hand gesture and shouted that he was trying to run a business. I don't know how long he's been behind the wheel for, but I'd be delighted to see him off the river.
