Just make sure this chap's not lurking in the vicinity.

Be careful of leptospirosis

Check the water, James. Is it as clean as the Severn at Stourport,. Don't want O'B to get a stomach bug.

eeerrrrr no way

Lakes and rivers hit different on these islands, the shnap of cold water always brings a presence to the body. “What was thinking getting in this!” Gasping for oxygen to warm the blood. Never ever regretting it when you get out. Enjoy

You are brave getting into any lakes or rivers in Britain at the moment.I hope you remain well enough to present your show next week.

Especially in this weather! Hope you enjoyed it

Gosh! That's trusting amoeba and bacteria levels? The East Anglian coast has suffered a 'shocking amount of sewerage the last 48 hours, and that's without Therese Coffey entering the water?

Looks like a scene from Reggie Perrin.

A lake?? I remember the thames when I lived there.

I cannot unhear .. with this

That's not a lake! That's a river! Canadian here - i can show you a lake or 1000

And lakes within lakes....

I hope you avoided the turds (You just know he thinks he's Mr Sodding Darcy, dontcha?🙄)

It was just a little paddle, if you notice his shorts he didn't get very far, just enough for his goolies to be covered and back out, quickly.

That’s why Jordan Henderson signed Brentford. Lake? Yes! Deal!! ✍️

Does Brentford have a bypass 😂

make sure the beard doesnt get waterlogged

Just make sure you know where the water comes from and whether or not that source gets sewage pumped into it. As a triathlete, i am pretty sickened by the state of our waterways. And how many people get ill after a race.

Hope you don't fall foul of the Brentford Triangle... stay out of the allotments!

Nice reference.

Was it cold in the water?

All lovely, but no mention of Brentford Nylons yet.

I was going to add Bendy Toys, but that’s my wonky memory 😂; that factory was in Middlesex but it was near Shepperton. I think I read somewhere that the old factory doubled as a USAF air-base in the film Dr. Strangelove (but I may have misremembered that as well…).

Clean and safe?

Being a lake, largely isolated from Thames Water? Looks lovely.

It was excellent. Such a peaceful setting. Really hope it can continue beyond the couple of weekend trial.

Syon Park?

Yup

Yup, must be watching the cricket 🫣🙂

Thanks James!

Where in Brentford? And is it clean/safe? I’m not far from there and would love a swim!

An ENT surgeon's nightmare. Also, possibly, Gastroenterologist. Oh, and if you are really unlucky, you can add Urologist to the list. Bon Chance!

Safer 💩

The beer? 🍻 Cheers

Ooh wild swimming, or if you are over a certain age - swimming!

Looks just like Kidderminster. But with nature

Brentford is nice.

The only water you're allowed in here in w Yorks is polluted. Ilkley take a bow. You're lucky
