If I had a pound for every time I found the bl**dy bridge left over Stanstead lock, I would be very happy.... Naturally I always left the bridge parked properly... Except being very lazy one wet and awful day (in the 16ft cruiser), when I couldn't be asked to move it, and just used the lock "as is" - going *down* of course, no way would I do that going up with those paddles!!!
