framing suggestion:

This is the way to visit the pub. Well, it would've been if you were a flat-sharing inhabitant of

270 Kew Road, London SW in the 1970's - as your young photographer was. As the tide was

out, we took the Land Rover along the Thames riverbed at Kew Bridge for a swift half at the

City Barge. Swift half led to swift pint, then swiftly to another, and then another. A

cross-Sahara trip was planned, with crew and route selected; lunch was ordered by those who

could afford one, and a few more drinks; we argued about the relative merits of Italian film

directors, then moved on to cars: no one has a decent one, of course, but someone knows of

a Mk III Sunbeam the owner will 'let go' for £30... (It broke a half-shaft after 20 miles and

was abandoned.)

We can't drive home now, so let's have another. Where is the car, anyway? Underwater,

actually, with the roof just visible between the houseboat 'Charlotte' and that yacht 'Sara B'.

He who'd 'parked' the Land Rover forgot he'd left it on the foreshore below the tide line, as did

everyone else. When the tide was next out, our saviour Roy, fresh from having rescued this

same Land Rover from a bog on Chobham Common only the previous week, was summoned

again. For a pint, of course.
