  1. As a much less frequent visitor to the Broads these days , i am Intrigued by your constant references to a "taxi rank" what and where is this "taxi rank" exactly ? No one else ever mentions it .
  2. Bill Shankley said " football is not just a matter of life and death , its much more important than that " I always found that comment puerile and pathetic , sums whole football cult up to me. Yes I really feel sorry for them too , maybe crowd funding would help them a bit ?......

  4. The Bure croft Hotel by the river at Hoveton will always be one of my favourites. I think it burned down in the 70's.
  5. Call me mr picky but doh i am aware of the legion pins and dont class them as bling. I was referring to the fake diamond encrusted fashion broaches sold in stores all over. No wonder i stopped posting many moons ago.
  6. I detest the bling jewelry poppies which are getting more and more prevalent. In no way does this support the British Legion , remembrance is not meant to be a bloody fashion show at the end of the day. Just take a look at the "celebrities" on the telly ! The Strictly judges etc. Paper poppies not good enough. Makes me sick
  7. Whilst enjoying a pleasant week (mainly fishing ) in a property near summercraft boatyard , we have observed on a daily basis a gentleman in a nearby private property who has two dogs. I find it apalling that he throws all the dog faeces straight into the dyke.As an angler i appreciate that the rivers arent very clean at the best of times but this is disgusting. Dirty s..
  8. I dont post much nowadays but Apparetly (I may be wrong ) the idiots are young people. Punish the parents financialy the sh...s wont do it again.
  9. I love that group photo !! Who is the Kim Jong Un lookalike directly behind the Pope? We dont want a nuke on Horning !
  10. Personally I Can't stand football but each to their own. My son in law says he "supports" Liverpool but never goes to a match. If shouting at a telly screen defines supporting then surely the plot has been lost ?
  11. Love old photo's ! Unfortunately back home from Bure Croft now. Really pleased with the info you all supplied , best property we have had on the broads , fishing great , situation just could not be better ,weather roasting ! Really lovely week and everybody you meet can't be more friendly. I hope the resident semi tame pike is looked after properly as well ! I caught him twice on succesive days so packed up the piking for this holiday. Regards to all and thanks again ! Stefan
  12. Phew ! Thanks for this mate you have put my mind at rest . Had visions of casting over the top of a cruiser all week ! So pleased you replied ☺
  13. It doesnt mention this on the website, nor do the pictures show boats moored up ! are these boats moored permanently at the front of the property ? There are 4 of us going for the fishing and based on the pictures it looked ideal initially. I would greatly appreciate some more info if you can as this booking is worrying us now and looking less appealing..Thanks for the reply !
  14. One last thing, check out the parking situation before you book anywhere. A 15 minute walk × 4 trips loading and unloading is not particularly pleasant......
  15. Stayed at Wilderness and Riversmead both on main river, fishing excellent on all 3 September occasions we visited. Also had a week at Owlswick at Grebe island , September again , water gin clear down the dyke , fishing poor. Recommend Riverside Rentals 100% Regards, Stefan.
  16. We have stayed at Wilderness a couple of times Polly , superb property that had resident otters nearby. Would never have dreamed of seeing them a few years ago . Just hope Bure Croft isn't used as someones mooring !?
  17. What do you mean by home moorings ? I' ve booked bure croft for a week but am a bit concerned that its a busy thoroughfare next to summercraft.
  18. When u get to my age , time is valuable and its a bit quicker old boy.
  19. I realise of course that we are living in a wonderful politically correct world nowadays, but would it be inconsidorate of me to request that a " Boring " icon be included in the post response comments icons ? Please do not take offence at this request but it might at least create a bit of light hearted amusement. What do other members think ?
  20. Afraid that if it hasn't happened in London the media aren't interested. The place is my idea of a living nightmare !
  21. God bless her she was lovely.
  22. Can anyone please tell me whether its still ok to moor a hire boat in what used to be the old Horning Pleasure craft / F B Wilds yard basin , ?
  23. My Dad was with 5th Panzer army during the German retreat at Falaise, captured in August 44 he never spoke about all the horrors till he was in his 80's. Like loads of vets the only way I could get him to say anything was after a few pints ! Fortunately I made notes of our conversations and keep telling myself that I will one day put them to paper in a readable form. Both the bad and the funny ! I have been so lucky not to go through the hell he did, Bless him.
