Monday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing

Monday's Motivation to Pay The Ferryman
The ferryman demanding his payment is also similar to the Greek ferryman of the dead, Charon. He demanded an obolus (coin) to ferry dead souls across the River Styx. Those who did not pay were doomed to remain as ghosts, remaining on the plane of the mare, the restless dead.Fortunately if you don't pay Christian the Shotley ferryman you just get left at Harwich. Mind you...
