So I'm not surprised that the water taxi's gone bust. But I wonder who
was running the company and who the drivers were? I bet they were
greedy speculators out for a quick buck and were not river-folk.


"Water Chariots, run by Peter Coleman, a property developer, could not
be reached for comment. "


So no suprise there then.

I wonder how he got a passenger's licence and insurance for the narrow-
boats to work the Thames and Lee. Especially if as you say narrow-

That's a broad-beam boat not a narrowboat and is perfectly suited to
working on the Lee. I'm still not surprised (or sad) that the
operation went bust at those prices though.
