Not surprised at those prices - £95 a ticket for a trip up a scummy

stinking ex-industrial river aka Lee.

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.

Could it by chance be one of the Heathrow - Central London taxi drivers on
his summer hols?
