Once again under threat apparently , it would be a shame if it stopped, surely it could be ran as a tourist attraction thing, Howard Jones was born on the Waterside he could become our own Gerry Marsden if we asked him to write a song about it.
I can only remember going on it once when I was about 12 im sad to say
Satisfying The Bloodlust Of The Masses In Peacetime
Tommy Cooper used it every day when he lived in Hythe. Just like that.
A little know fact is that Tom Jones once played a gig in Hythe at the Lord Nelson, he stayed in Southampton and travelled across the water to get there.
When asked if he normally got a ferry to get to a gig he replied " It's not Unusual"

My old man told me he used to drink in the Drummond Arms (long gone). He said that, unlike some comics, Cooper was if anything more manic and funnier in real life he was on TV.
Good and bad news Mr. Jones what do you want to hear first? Whats the bad news? Sadly we have removed both your legs. Whats the good news? You wife has bought you a new pair of slippers.
Although I now live in Cardiff I am a Hythe boy, born and bred and it saddens me that we may never see the Hythe Ferry running again, many memories of travel in all weathers, great in the summer but not so great in winter! I hope it can be saved, fingers crossed.

Woodbine lit...looking well hard...until the genuine hard lads came down the stairs and ordered us back up on the open deck where nonces like us belong.

I sat across the aisle from him on a flight to Teesside obviously a long time ago, I desperately tried not to look at him because all I wanted to do was fall about laughing, He appeared not to notice , but on our descent he turned and looked at me and did that Cooper laugh. That was it, I just completely cracked up, as did everyone around me.
My old man used to take me my sister on it back in the 70s.
I've taken my kids and nephew over the years and they love it...what's not to like ..a little boat trip out on the sea, followed by a rickety train ride down the pier . A walk around Hythe and a bite to eat in Seashells cafe ..lovely little day out.
At the Royal Command Performance in 1964, Tommy walks on stage with a room heater. He says, '”They told me to go out and warm the crowd up.”
A woman told her doctor, 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor said, 'It's old age.' The woman said, 'I want a second opinion.' The doctor says, 'OK. You're ugly as well.'
I'm on a whiskey diet, I’ve lost three days already!
On the basis of using it oncce in your life you'd like it to be there all the time. Reading the rest of these comments you can see immediately why this service should just be allowed to fade into memory. There isn;t one person here who has suggested they use it regularly, or even would use it regularly if it came back, and using it for a home game every two weeks does not count as "regular travel". Most of the people would sooner talk about Tommy Cooper anyway so it answers your own point obliquely Nick . This reminds me of people who lament the passing of the milkman in his milk float while buying all their milk in Tesco.

Crikey, what's your idea of a nice day out? A spot of seal clubbing?
