Crocodile Terror Aboard Narrowboat!

Terror for woman on the canal as she became trapped on her Narrowboat by a crocodile! A woman called for help as she moored in the beautiful secluded surroundings of Bramble Cuttings near Middlewich on the Trent and Mersey Canal................................................... Marine Electrician Sandra Parker, who now works for Middlewich Narrowboats, was attending to resolve problems with the lady's own boat when the beast appeared trapping her aboard. Bravely, Sandra investigated the reptilian behemoth "There, there a baby crocodile!" a short search startlingly revealed... a newt basking serenely on the mooring rope. In spite of Sandra's reassurance the woman was too terrified to move "I don't care get it away" she exclaimed so the beast was encouraged to slip away and enjoy the sunshine somewhere more discrete. You meet all kinds of folk on the cut!
