EDIT: Ok, just read Wikipedia about the Locks on the Thames. I had no idea about that. I guess you do learn things when you read books.

we've got locks on the canals here ; i like to be on the bank (or a bridge) and watch the boats go through them, but i there are so many, and so close together, i think if i were on the boat i would soon get really bored. don't you have locks in the us ? or do you just not live near a canal / river ?
