And also the day of Shakespeare's death, possibly that of his birth, as he was baptised on the 26th.

A great piece of work, downloaded for printing later Thanks.

My great grandparents dads side, kept pigs, so whenever dad visited them ( 50 mile journey, one change of train) a large parcel would return with him to his parents house.

If your use by date started before July 1958, then you have experienced rationing as the final WW2 rationed item was freed then , that was coal.. Until 4th July 1954 there was still meat rationing.. Until the 1980s cheese production was deliberately limited by HMG, but what was produced not rationed .

I don't know if it's happening to everyone but if I attempt to go on the shorebase site I get error 404 site not found, but if I go in direct to http://www.norfolk-broads.org/tides/tide_report.asp it works ok.

I have a club footed jib on my little sailing boat. I've added a pair of extra sheets to the fore end of the club, so while sitting in the cockpit I can goosewing or back the jib.

As for cash it's a right pain paying in, first find a bank. For me that's a 40 mile round trip. for a small business, for my model Railway club account that would be a £1.50 charge, plus 1.5% of the value, not too dissimilar to the cheque or paying in charges. That's why I've just spent a couple of hours ordering a card reader for the club, there's a lot less hassle, the overall charges will be less as we have a lot of small transactions.

Nationwide had their hands smacked for their current no closures adverts.. They started them immediately after having a round of closures.

If she's one that's been retrofitted with an electric motor, then the control module and battery replacement is going to be expensive.

We've just had the wettest month ever recorded and the wettest 18 months ever recorded. It's not surprising the water levels are high, even though the majority of effects are often to do with air pressure and wind direction. That being said there have been more storms over this winter than in many years each bringing low air pressure and a raised north sea.

Spent the day at the radar museum, 71 visitors today. Did a fair amount of modelling RAF Neatishead 1983 between the visitors.. planted 300 fence posts, have got about the same again to do... Reminder folks Norwich model Railway show tomorrow,, details a few posts back.

If you look at the NDR, it's taken much more land than it would in the past, precisely because of " green " measures. There are cycleways bridle ways, treed areas, and all sorts of land grabs that take more farm land.

I first lived in Milton Keynes in 1975-6 in Bletchley Park, your description is quite accurate. There was a huge change when we moved there again in 1988 through to 1996 in Stantonbury. Much More crowded. I was extremely happy to have moved to Norfolk, 20 houses in the village over 2 miles of road.. Problems? They've dug the road up so it's closed... Alternative routes? A Boat, aka a Byway Open to All Traffic that is a mud road with potholes over a foot deep. A restricted byway, that is soft mud 18 inch deep ruts filled with water. A restricted byway , tarmac sort of , grass growing down the middle in places, sand covering in others, exceedingly narrow, ditches on both sides of the single track road in some places.

It was going to a model Railway show and was asked. Are you a senior?. I had had to stop and think... Oh yes I Am now. Next Model Railway Show, Norwich , Hellesdon School, free parking, NR6 5SB Saturday 6th April, 10am to 4pm £6 accompanied under 16s free. 20 + layouts plus traders and demonstrations. Broadland MRC will be there, but don't know if I'll be on duty with the layout or just a visitor.
