Mad old river by the barrier there, you'd be catching flattys as the tide came in and there'd be roach and frogs as the tide went out. Must've been right on the point where salt water went to fresh0

My uncles had rowing boats they'd built themselves moored in front of the Yacht pub. As 9/10 year olds we borrowed them and rowed down to the barges and played on them.1

Up towards Greenwich from where you are, there used to be an old wooden pier with a big old rusty crane on it, caked in pigeon shit. We used shimmy up the jib, dangle off and drop into the water from it. Never done us no harm1

My grandad said he used to swim up by Greenwich pier. They used to use the last person to get out’s shirt to dry themselves.
He also said you’d often see dead animals floating by (amongst other things)1 -

There was a well known family who passed it down. They were into the Lighterman / Waterman rowing race thing. I think they are more pleasure boats though. And there was a ginger lad I used to have mutual friends with, he was the youngest to get his Thames licence apparently. That's all changed too, the EU brought in different rules and the quality of people has gone down hill, so I've been toldBaldybonce said:

This happened to us last week funnily enough. We went to get a cheap hoover for some building work I'm doing and it said online there was 31 in stock. When we go down the shop, there was only an opened box on the shelf, so I asked the assistant if she could get another from outback, but she instead, scanned the bar code on the price tag on the shelf, gave a code and we had to go and pay at the checkout, using the code, the wait in collections FOR 20 MINUTES for them to bring the hoover out,Stig said:
