Why didn’t we think of this before? (Picture: Mick Cee/Facebook)

A man has been spotted drifting down a canal, getting pulled along by a very small tug boat.

Which, basically, sums up exactly how we would like to spend every single afternoon forever.

Mick Carroll saw the ‘eccentric’ gentleman passing through Market Drayton on Monday.

Apparently he was sitting in his own homemade canal boat, operating the tug boat using a remote control.


This allowed him to row his boat gently down the stream, without having to do any actual rowing.

Seriously – we want to do this (Picture: Mick Cee/Facebook)

Genius.

Mick wrote on Facebook: ‘Don’t ya just love eccentrics. Seen this fella as we were passing through Market Drayton getting pulled along by a remote control tug. Brilliant.’



As the man bobbed past him, he shouted: ‘Just when you thought you’d seen everything!’

We know what we’ll be doing this weekend.
