GRR useless information

[michael]

Some lightermen had trouble remembering the bridges so they would make up a mnemonic to remember the bridges by. One was ‘how pleasant are very long worms when brothers lend them’. That would stand for Hammersmith, Putney, Albert, Vauxhall, Lambeth, Westminster, Waterloo, Blackfriars, London and Tower.

The trouble is - wrong way round for the GRR! Anyone know a mnemonic for the bridges going upriver?

Tower Bridge - London Bridge - Cannon Street Railway Bridge - Southwark Bridge - Millennium Bridge -Blackfriars Bridge - Waterloo Bridge - Hungerford Bridge/Charing Cross Rail Bridge - Westminster Bridge - Lambeth Bridge - Vauxhall Bridge - Victoria/Grosvenor Rd Railway Bridge - Chelsea Bridge - Albert Bridge - Battersea Bridge - Battersea/Wansworth Railway Bridge - Wandsworth Bridge - Fulham/Putney Railway Bridge - Putney Bridge - Hammersmith Bridge - Barnes Bridge - Chiswick Bridge - Kew Railway Bridge - Kew Bridge - Richmond Loch - Twickenham Bridge - Richmond Railway Bridge - Richmond Bridge.

The Langstone Cutters sometimes moan, but when having wonderful laughs, victorious voyages can arise. Boisterous banter will fill peoples hearts because crews know kinsfolk; Row the River Row.
