Do believe one of those young ladies let me down very gently on our way out, after our last visit to The Thames Pond ?

That's odd, I left strict instructions that, under your dual registration arrangement, you were entitled to the full sluice experience, especially when locking up. I'll put in a good word for you ?

On entering any lock on the Royal Pond, do try to ascertain if the lockie has that worrying steely glint in his /her eye, thus giving an indication that his/her significant other or somebody else has recently upset him/her.
Gives a good idea if we will be picking up crockery off the floor and replacing burst fenders, after exiting lock .
Generally refrain from pointing out that the lock chamber has not been jet washed recently and I will have to clean my fenders again.
The canny visitor needs to bear in mind that he will be returning to that lock on the way back.
Suspect Lockies have long memories and a very active "jungle drums" network.

There be a dark list of miscreant boaters ?
