  1. There you go! Ask a Q and you get an A. Couldn’t want for more. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  2. I can remember travelling to Boulogne by hovercraft. Those numbers seem familiar. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  3. I have windows 10 on the laptop. grrrrrrr!! It decided to upgrade itself over the weekend. I was using it and when finished, went to shut down as normal but got “shut down and upgrade” there were no other options. I couldn’t shut it down any other way. So thought “what the hell” and went for it. It finally shut down about 30mins after so I closed the lid and went about my business. Monday was in a hurry wanted to check emails started it up and “commencing update 20% done”. 50 chuffin minutes later it was ready to use. So what part of “shutdown and update” at the weekend didn’t the laptop understand? Anyway before, I’d press on the icons I wanted and surf through my stuff. Now I turn it on and can go make a cup of splosh while I wait. Then have toast etc in between each press of the button. Ok. It’s not used for business so can wait a while but I’ve lost everything I had stored on there as well. ( insert sad angry face here) why are you not given the option?

  4. Owned a boat now for 12 years. The canopy has been pressure washed annually inside and out (laying on the floor) then when refitted it has had Fabsil applied by roller to the outside. Perfectly waterproof. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  5. 35 years ago I was called to put a new roof on one of several square chalets that were there. It’s correct it was where the boatyard is now and I believe their office is one of the old chalets. Have no recollection of an eatery though. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  6. I ordered a sheet of walnut laminate to make a new dashboard. It came in a sheet 10’ x 5’. Cut mine with a grinderette. Went through like butter. Can even do slight curves with it. Then a hole saw for the dials. Job was a goodn. Meanwhile 12 yrs ago I rearranged the layout in my boat and built a new toilet/ shower with 1” blockboard then lined the inside in a sheet vinyl (flooring)with spray glue. Still good to this day.

  7. You can put a boat in a ship but not a ship in a boat. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  8. Thanks for those replies. We had a remote switched Sterling pure sine wave for about 10 or 12 years. We ran vacuum cleaner, hair drier and telly etc no probs. But just popped it’s clogs last week. On further inspection it revealed internal moisture damage. So looking for another but not wishing to spend that amount again.

  9. Could somebody please explain the difference in idiot speak between “pure, modified and quasi” when it relates to sine wave inverters. Ta very much. (No jokes about the hunchback please) Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  10. And if he does buy a second boat to use as the storage lock up. Could somebody please please please record MM reversing the trailer into it? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  11. Surely when we have JCB’s with long reach arms that can chew up an average building and car crushers that can turn a transit into a 3’ cube surely there could be something made to dispose of the boats? I’ll bet when they’ve chewed up a few there’ll be companies chomping at the bit for the mountains of granules left. Mixed with concrete? Fashioned into bricks with some amalgam? It just needs somebody with the time place and money to set up the business because it’s not just boats it’s cars and fairground rides spring to mind as well.

  12. Sounds like a stock car track. “ROLLED”? Tolled I meant. ( fat finger) Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  13. Are there many people who are not paying their toll yet? The hire companies had some letoff I hear. Was there a way of paying for nine instead of twelve months this year? We were moored at St. Olaves last week and used the BA toll checker and seven out of ten were not rolled. Was that intentional do you think? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
