See what comes of punting from the wrong end:

And here I had been thinking that Cambridge seemed a nice possible destination for a day trip when we are in London next month. People less civil there than they were back in the day?

Which day?

But I was always politeness itself in a punt. No jokes, please.

All the good punt jokes have been told.

That was before your time, I'm thinking, Patrick.

Either or both of you gentlemen up for a get together in London July 8 or 9?

I've only punted once.

My dad fell in.

CW - smiling at the memory.

My dad had a boat. We still remember the day he dropped the Elsan at Boulter's Lock.

Yes, Nikki, I rather think I will be in London on those dates.

Patrick, did you see my e-mail?

Somehow the terms "urgent" and "Cambridge" seem oxymoronic...
