A light-hearted look at the lock-keeper's job, be it a rural little
lock on the canals, or an ultra-modern affair at a huge marina.
Jake Kavanagh presents a humorous survey, using his inimitable
cartoons and anecdotes, of the scrapes people get into when trying
to use locks. He focuses on notable events like the Henley Regatta
which afford many opportunities for horrors to unfold. Readers have
enjoyed Jake's tales for decades; this is the perfect book for his
devotees. 'Do not read this book while edging your 52ft hired
narrow boat towards an impossibly small lock. It would seriously
damage shipping.' Southern Evening Echo 'Excellent reading whilst
queuing for those over-busy Thames locks on a summer weekend.'
