Don't know where this happened, but very little traffic on the parts of the canal near to me at present!

It's somewhere in East Anglia! The boater in question posted a followup video of a Land Rover pulling them free... wonder if I can find it again.

I'm reminded of this, penned by the late great Adge Cutler...

Oh, thee’s got’n where thee cassn’t back’n hassn’t?
He’s gott’n in a fine old mess somehow.
He’s never oughta stuck’n in there dissant,
Now what bis gonna do about it now?

Thee’s cop a packet if thee cassn’t shift’n.
A copper always turns up from somewhere.
O arrh thee’s been and got’n where thee cassn’t back’n hassn’t,
‘ow bis gonna get it out of there?
