Haul piece of broken rope,
Wrap it around his propeller,
"Why ain't you moving anywhere!?"
Pull bridge in!. Cathead motor off!.
Gates up!. Traffic lights off!.

Crikey, this bridge thing is a darn-sight more complicated than I thought!. I imagined you sitting in a room, high-up, windowed and down below is the bridge!. You see a boat, you press a button - up goes the bridge, away they go!. Press button, down comes bridge!.!.!.- time taken 10 minutes max!. Watch t!.v, feet up coffee!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
