Yachts we can't afford

I was off along the canal today to meet a good friend at the world famous Inn. The new rules were in force, and we had to sup our ales in the beer garden. One of the regulars refused to sit down at a table, and sounded less than impressed. Actually, it was okay. I had added some layers of clothing, and felt pretty cosy. We used to put the world to rights but now we are mainly philosophical.
