The record for the maximum number of collisions in the shortest stretch of river is held by three burly men in a 28ft Elysian. They always seemed to overrun their stopping distance, and shunted gates, cruisers and bullnoses with alarming regularity. After one quite spectacular crunch, the skipper sheepishly admitted to a keeper that he found the boat chronically underpowered, especially after helming a boat of his own for more than 20 years.

‘Oh, what sort of boat have you got?’ asked the keeper.

‘A steel job,’ said the man. ‘A 2000-ton tug on the Humber.’
