Langport Ferry Service wasn't a joke...
Despite claims that a recent report on Carry On Langport wasn't accurate (an absurd accusation) we are delighted to see that the latest edition of The Western Gazette has followed our lead in reporting that Town Councillor Ian McNab has launched a ferry boat on the River Parrett. For legal reasons we can't yet say that it's moored near Stuckey's Island and neither are we allowed to reveal that it'll soon be bringing in immigrant families from Bridgwater. What we can print is that Councillor McNab is pictured on the Gazette's front page and again on page 7 proudly showing off his vessel to special guests Julian and Matilda Temperley.
The Temperleys - above - said they were "delighted" with their ferry trip but "rather concerned" that Councillor McNab fell into a thistle bed on the river bank at The Wharf three times before managing to moor up.
Despite his injuries, Mr McNab (above) said he would "Carry On Sailing" and is already planning phase two of his project to put Langport on the tourist map: an amusement arcade on a pier at Black Bridge. Nice one Ian.
