Eh? You came up after me (1968), didn't you Roland? The punt firms,
Scudamores and Tyrells existed then. There were college punts too,
including a substantial Trinity fleet hired to the public too.

The only time I ever went on the river in a punt was in the early 1970s,
and there seemed to be plenty for hire then. My cousin, who took me,
was not a student at that time, so presumably was unable to use a
College punt.
