I remarked on that silence some weeks back, some few weeks back now,
standing on the quay. My audience said something like _of course_
but the bar can be quite a noisy place, especially when its flooding; but
the walk of a few hundred yards north to the quay is usually too far to
hear anything, clearly depending on wind direction
there's a lot going on, but it might as well be a silent film
Glad you like it
