How many people does it take to fix a Lift Bridge?

We set out from Jericho early on Wednesday morning, knowing how busy Thrupp can be and we planned to be in Thrupp for a piece of work on Friday. It was a lovely quiet day and odd not to see lots of V hull/plassy cruisers which we got used to on the Thames. It was a lovely day and contained Lift Bridges. This pic called to mind the "how many XYZs does it take to change a light bulb?" jokes. Here is perhaps an overkill of engineers fixing a light bulb - sorry - Lift Bridge!

We moored up neatly in one of only two 14 day moorings the southern end of Thrupp, near the Jolly Boatman. Hmmm. Right near a pub again. Odd how that keeps happening! We were delighted to imbibe with friends that very night.

Oh.
How many Oxford Dons does it take to change a light bulb?
