  1. I have to agree with SwanR about Tranquilla as we hired it in Sept and it's an excellent boat for two however Richardsons pricing of the boat is strange.In May next year its very expensive to book whilst by late August its a bargain,same price as the two berth ex Swancraft boats.
  2. Last night I was in Great Yarmouth drinking in the Oliver Twist at £3.00 a pint,nice pub,good jukebox,pool table ,large tv and a very attractive barmaid.On Monday I will be on the broads paying £5.00 for the same pint ,where mine host will be looking to kick everyone out by 9.30.Too add insult to injury the pub will probably have already charged me to moor up. I find it difficult to blame Mr Packman for the feeling of being ripped off by the Broads leisure industry as a whole but each year that feeling has been getting worse.For years we have been coming twice a year for 11 night boating holidays but this will be our last one.Value for money,it is not.
  3. Interesting videos, but at £9.50 for a Guinness and a small Coke, is anyone really surprised how empty the pub is ?
  4. Herbertwoods are offering 15% off for late bookings at the moment.
  5. Looking at the number of boats still in their yards when I was on the broads in early May,all of the boatyards seem to have overpriced their boats.Finding a mooring was never easier ,both North and South. Looking ahead for the rest of the season,lots of boats are still available.Ferry may have to discount most of the season,other yards may follow.
  6. Looking at their prices they must include a butler as well.

    To be fair to Loddon its been quiet everywhere we have been,perhaps chickens coming home to roost about the price of a Broads holiday.

    Moored up at Loddon marina at 3.30,the only boat here.Is it something I,ve said ?
  10. Frank Lampard.Living proof that it is possible to fail upwards as a manager.
  11. Last year I had the old gas boiler and hot water tank taken out and replaced with a combi boiler.Now have virtually instant hot water ,greatly improved shower and using alot less gas .
  12. Definitely not a safe area to sit and wait while coming in to moor.
  13. The mooring fee is not deducted from the meals and the mooring rings and missing posts leave alot to be desired. I,d rather moor up at Herbertwoods.
  14. I was not aware that Richardsons give refunds on pump outs as it has never been mentioned on handovers.
  15. You can only stream Sky Go to a tablet or a laptop,not to a Smart TV.
