CamelPilot: Have to disagree with you there. I quote from the man himself: "My timetable was 1.45 pm for the first bridge at Waterloo. I have often been asked why I started there and not at the Tower (Bridge), and I often wish I had done the lot. But at the time it had been explained to me that the bridges up to Waterloo were under the jurisdiction of the City Police, whereas those from Waterloo to Kew came under the Metropolitan Police and I thought it best not to antagonise the City Police a second time. I did not know that it would be the River Police who would taken an interest; maybe they did not exist in 1931, when it was the City Police who prosecuted me." Ah well, all Austers under the bridges now, anyway.
