Changing trains at Finsbury Park the other day, I needed to get from

run up. So:

Slightly OT. I was once working a boat down the Oxford canal when I
came across a youth who was jumping across the lock rather than
walking to the far gates. About 8ft wide so nearly the same width.

Hi George

Hope you are well.

Grannybuttons has a photo of someone jumping over at Kings Norton:

On narrow canals I happily step across from or to a closed gate, that
always feels more than 4' ! If only I could do the same round London ...
