Mercifully devoid of eels
Blame Monty Python, but I cannot take hovercraft 100% seriously. “My hovercraft is full of eels!” declared the pseudo Hungarian John Cleese in the Anglo-Hungarian Phrasebook sketch of 1970. The Phrasebook is beyond useless, comprising phrases hinting at an eagerness for casual sex that leads to fisticuffs and its publisher’s prosecution.
This hovercraft however is full of day trippers and holidaymakers as it takes to the water at Ryde Esplanade for a ten-minute dash across the Solent to Southsea.
