Vans that can't swim
Had a van next to the boat today. Not the bank side, the river side. It's still there now. Three enterprising young cockney sparra's (eh up missus) decided they were going to rescue some scrap metal from the river bed (there are a few old wrecks down there). The river bed in most places is quite solid so they drove down, along it, filled the back up, tried to reverse around to go back, and got stuck.

They had about a 20 minute window to get it out before the tide came in. They gave Garry a call, who has a Jeep. He couldn't tow them out, and whized back upstream.

Then the tide came in. The pictures say it all.

I have to say, I really, really, love where I live. It's great.
