They were located about 100 yds from Trent Bridge towards the Memo Gardens on the city side. There was no 'elf and sefty then. Remember as a ten year old taking a boat out with two of my younger brothers. Never rowed a boat before in my life, but the guy taking the money didn't seem to care. Either that or I was very convincing. They had canoes as well as rowing boats. Reminds me of a funny from way back then. Chap at the side yells out "Come in number 99, your time is up". His assistant tugs on his sleeve and says "We don't have a number 99". So first bloke then yells out "Number 66 stop messing about". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 "Come in No.9 your time is up!"" But boss, we don't have a No.9" "No.6, are you in trouble?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
