I have not posted here for a few years but look in occasionally, I could not let this sad event pass without comment.
Jill was one of the orignal moderators way back when Brian started the site. As a Moderator she was always bastion of fairness and even handedness, she saw good in everyone even when some of us could not. Her gentle encouragement to stay on the straight and narrow often worked much better than a heavy handed approach.
She was a lovely lady and will be sadly missed.

So I take it that the Post Office and little village shop has closed down now?
Pay attention at the back
Quote from the link
The current post office is based at Tookes shop in Lower Street, Salhouse, but it is due to close later this year. Customers and interested parties are being invited to comment on the move in a six-week public consultation, which runs until March 19. -
Looking at the amonut of exposed sahft that you have, you could have fitted a 'clamp on' type shaft anode, if the other option hadn't been available. I would have gone down that route if there had been some exposed shaft to attach it to.
I have to say I don't like them Dave for two reasons.
With uneven wear running the shaft at relativity high speed could lead to vibration, and I also had a fear of the securing screw & nut slipping and it ending down near my P Bracket. Having said that I did have one fitted for a couple of months while I was trying to find a solution and Kiki was out for just a couple of days, I felt anything was better than nothing.

Not sure if you saw this link in one of Jill's resurrected thread links Dave.

I had the same issue with Kiki being Turkish built and had to make an adjustment to the prop nut so that it would accommodate UK sourced Prop Anodes

Give over Barry you will be embarrassing him
Clive's contribution to the site is valued by all here I am sure; the widow into the running of a major Leisure Business is certainly of interest to me and his boat building threads has the odd interested viewer

Corporates will avoid Win8, most of them are going through the WinXP -> Win7 upgrade cycle and won't do another rollout for 4-5 years. For that reason, Win7 will be supported for a long time yet (14th January 2020, currently)
Fully agree Jonzo and what our IT gang advised us when I asked about the impending W8 launch.
I would have though business was quite a big user and they seem to have cut themselves out of this market. I guess a lot is driven by traditional hardware manufacturers looking at how they compete with Ipad and other tablets (although these have less functionality than PC's) but they must be pinching some of the lap top market. I guess theses new flip top touch screen laptops are their answer and I guess this might have a place on these but for business forget it.

I think £770 for a week in October on a 2 berth boat is pretty expensive.
Is this half term?
£650 most of May.
It is good to see continued investment in new stock, just the type of boat that will attract D.I.N.K.Y's who perhaps have never considered a Broads holiday and potentially could become long term hirers of tomorrow.
There are boats to hire on the Broads to suit all budgets but clearly a new boat has a high level of depreciation built in which will reduce as the years go on. If you look at the range that Richardson's offer this can be seen across the range, something for all budgets and with a number of recently launched new craft and some in current build.
Broads hire companies are businesses and have to make a profit to ensure they are around tomorrow, and have capital to reinvest in new stock, if this is too expensive for your budget look elsewhere.

Just goes to prove that maybe, just maybe, i did`nt do anything wrong in the first place
Lets not go there Neil.
Draw a line and move on.

Far too much speeding on the Broads

Why has this person who appears to be so well known , gone 'under cover'. Could it be the cold snap.
Hibernation probably

Use of capitals, exclamation marks etc are the give away.

I should think the folks in the canoe at 1.08 were less than chuffed.
Now this is something to complain about

Agreed Strow.
Putting a relativity heavy floating ball in your pond will do the trick.

Perhaps a little help needed

Great images Andy.
Like Mark I agree the Woodland is excellent

That's not a bad first effort Mark.
It certainly gives a different perspective.

We promise that if a boat is booked and it is decided to ofer a discount on that boat during the period it has been booked then all we can do is offer 110% of the difference back to you. we do not plan on discounting last minute holidays as it is not our policy to do so.
This the hire boat equivalent of John Lewis "never knowingly undersold" pledge.
It is a very comforting offer to those that want to book early in the safe knowledge that they won't have that bank-side conversation

I have had BMW cars for the last 15 years last 10 with Run Flats.
After a 525d I had literally eat the low profile tyres on it I was that adept at changing tyres Williams wanted me to do a stint! I for one was quite happy with Run flats not least that a blow out at high speed was manageble rather than potentially life threatening.
There is much tosh talked about run flat and non run flat and the differnces these make, unless on a track you will never feel the difference.
I am on my second X5 M Sport this one is the 4.0D previous was an M50D which was far more power than I needed, you could quickly lose your licence.... this 'a performance' car also had run flats. Many people who claim they can feel a difference between the two tyre types change their mind when you take the thing out of comfort and put it into sport which stiffens suspension and increases throttle response.
