Push harder luv!

Saw a funny sight at the Stratford lock. We were watching two guys - and their wives - trying to negotiate the lock with their hired houseboat.

The blokes were on the boat looking important.

The women were on the dock pushing the lock doors open.

(A good analogy for corporate life I thought!)

The only unusual part of the scene was the audience of three monks travelling incognito in English rain coats.  I guess even monks go sight-seeing.
