Cubitts Yacht Basin used to form part of my paper round for a while.I used to hate delivering to those houseboats.The water level used to be held at a constant level by lockgates at the river entrance but these gates used to be opened regularly for boat movements.On those days, if the tide was in, I used to have to get into a small dinghy and row out to the boats.It was extremely dangerous especially in the mating season when the Mute swans would happily attack you if you got too close to their nests.I couldn't see H+S standing for that these days.The newsagent I worked for acknowledged that my round was more difficult than others and I got an ectra 2/-a week |
