Description
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that the price of the (45 minute) cruise, three shillings for an adult and half-price for a child, makes this a view taken some years ago, before our beloved Government in their wisdom replaced our currency system with the present decimal stuff. Prices have also gone up since this was taken (in the 60s); they charge £6.75 for an adult and £3.40 for a child now ... now that's inflation for you!
Can't have half of £6.75, either.

What a wonderful shot Shaun yep inflation has hit everyone.. dinky little boats there..
Great capture
Super shot!!!!!!!!
Great shot of a beautiful location.
Great photo, dont remember shillings and pennies ;) ...but £6.75 might not be too bad a deal for what you get.. Since they want almost £30 just to look around a few room at the palace.. now that really ticks me off.
Funny...words and shot !!!
For that price, they should guarantee clear and sunny weather.
Wonderful capture!

Those who control inflation and debt can then rule the world. That's how it goes since always unfortunately. Nice shot and feeling.

Calm and peaceful landscape! Great shot!
It looks like a peaceful and serene place for holiday-makers, in a region of the United Kingdom I've never been to so far ! Superb capture!
