distinctive sounds
« on: July 25, 2007, 03:00:31 PM »
I just got back from a 2 week holiday in the UK.  One of the things we did in London was take a Narrowboat cruise up to Camden.  When the engine started I immediately heard something somewhat familiar.  I asked the captain "Is that a Lister?" and indeed it was.  He rattled off the model number and year of manufacture, so I said it sounds like it was one of the last few out of Dursley then and he said it was and he wishes he had another one.

If you're ever in the city of London, the company name is Jasons's cruises and it's quite a fun trip.

Always nice to hear a lister in the wild so to speak.
