Proposal for a distasteful sport.

Extract taken from narrowboatworld

King of the Patch
There will be sections of towpath designated 'Patches' and the person who dumps the most Lycra Louts in the Cut (backed up by GPS and photo evidence of course) will have bragging rights and officially have the right to be called the 'King of the Patch'.
Now some of you might be thinking, won't I be prosecuted for Actual Bodily Harm or damage to property (expensive bicycle etc) et al ? The answer is almost certainly not!

This is staggeringly unpleasant article. http://www.narrowboatworld.com/index.php/features/8570-bored-on-board

Narrowboatworld.......It's a bit like watching paint drying world, but less fun!

Most narrowboaters, that I know, are very reasonable people (not keen on fishermen though). I hope that's just tongue in cheek, although it doesn't really read like it.
Narrowboats are expensive toys, you'd think that the writer would have more respect for other people's expensive toys.

I've emailed to complain.

That should promote excellent relationships between boaters and cyclists. Maybe they would like to create a game regarding people whose dogs foul the paths. Whatever next I wonder.

I might have to get one of these:

Very snotty email sent to editor of narrowmindsworld.

Horrendous attitude displayed by that poster.

 

[SteCenturion]

I've emailed to complain.

Me too.

Most people are very reasonable people.

Indeed, and if enough people complain, then maybe there'll be reasonable people in positions of responsibility, too.

Someone who had free reign to spout this rubbish to a wider audience should be reigned in or sunk.

That's the most unpleasant article since Matthew Parris.

And I don't like the snide comments here with a nasty bias:

Even waterway users have got it in for us.

 

[Profpointy]

maybe a funny reply about petrol bombing narrow boats. hey, haven't they got a sense of humour, only a joke what?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Well I certainly hope nothing untoward happens
to Ralph Freeman's boat "The **** *****" moored at **** Marina.

I stopped reading as soon as I saw 'lycra brigade'. The only people who use the word 'brigade' in this way are tiresome bell ends. Although I did notice an ad on the site for 'Russian dating'. Who'd have thought narrowboat enthusiasts would have to pay women to go out with them?
