On approaching Hambledon lock you may be greeted by a very pleasant lock keeper who adopts an upright stance and it is our belief that he may well have served in the armed forces.
If a person has a very big nose, you can’t help yourself and you just seem to focus on the protuberance and if a lady has a very large pair of breasts you just can’t help yourself and you remain focussed on those mammaries .
Well the same happened to us at Hambledon for the lock-keeper sports an eye patch and of course boys will be boys and simply can’t help wondering how the person lost their eye, of course making an assumption that the ye patch was not being worn for fun or that the incumbent of the said eye had a temporary eye infection.
The Captain teased a lady boater and asked her “Shall I ask on your behalf, how he lost his eye”, “No no she replied”.”OK then continued the Captain “Shall I ask him has he got a parrot then?” “No, no and definitely no” came the reply.”The Captain had got his quarry and continued “Would you like to phone a friend or ask the audience”. The female boater glared at the Captain and said “You wouldn’t dare”. The First Mate jumped straight in and said” But I would “and when leaving the lock shouted over to the lock-keeper” “Excuse me how did you lose your eye ? .“ “In an accident “came the reply and when asked “Do you have a parrot as well?” the lock keeper gave a half smile as we left the lock.
