No, a real one!
Work took me to Derbyshire, so we decided to make a break of it, and stayed a few nights in the lovely Peak District, followed by a visit to The Lake District.
We had to get afloat, and considered a day ticket on the Windermere lake 'steamers', but when we saw that they were fairly bristling with folk, opted for an electric day boat instead. This was absolutely the right choice. The handover included advice such as ,'they are all bigger than you, so keep out of everybody's way' and 'stay near the middle of the lake you will see more that way' a line repeated verbatim the next day when we hired one on Coniston.
Here is a quick pic of Steam Yacht Gondola on Coniston.
