Most companies pay their suppliers 30 or NINETY days after receipt of bill!

If you understood all of Monty Python, Frank, your English skills are better than most of us!

Sorry for the confusion I may have caused, Frank, but I thought you were joking? Norwich City Football Club are known as the "Canaries" but they're not flying at the moment!

How's your lady's English, Frank? Can she keep up with you?

Frank, hi Your friend could also try this as the lady co-owns the Canaries: http://www.deliaonline.com/

Brill tip, thanks, Reg........... I'll be there at 08.00!

Where do you get that done, please, Karlos?

Is that the Scottish definition, Iain?

In NE Lincolnshire (Grimsby to be exact) there is absolutely NO dilution of accent, Queren. I suppose if you live in "a fishing village at the end of a railway track" then you have to expect that?

They are allowed in the lounges/bar area, Vanessa, but not the restaurant. There is a £10 surcharge if you want to bring them with you for an overnight stay (I just rang then to confirm that).

Now that sounds like a very sound idea, Eric!

Wayford Bridge Inn We arrived at the Wayford Bridge Inn on a miserable January day and were welcomed by friendly and helpful staff. Karen, Kris’s mother and the co-owner, introduced herself and apologised because our room wasn’t then quite ready (we were an hour early) and offered us a free drink each from the bar….. that was a very promising start! Karen then showed me around the newly refurbished downstairs bedrooms which were outfitted to a high standard. During this we passed through two very comfortable lounges, complete with lovely log fires burning. We were then taken to our warm, comfortable, upstairs room which overlooked the river and bridge. We were somewhat surprised to hear that these too were to be completely renovated but there’s no doubt that they intend to make this a memorable destination. The evening meal menu was extensive and we were on the Dinner, B&B deal. On this you get to choose any two courses out of the three. We chose the House Chardonnay at £18 which was light and crisp. John had the whitebait starter followed by Steak and Kidney pudding, which almost defeated him! Mary-Jane had a huge gammon steak with fried egg and pineapple and then a hand made lemon tart. Here’s February’s menu: http://www.wayfordbridge.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/NewMenuv130Jan2016.pdf After a lovely night’s sleep we went downstairs for breakfast. We skipped the cereals/yoghurt and John had a Manx kipper topped with a poached egg. He described it as “Superb”! Mary-Jane had two beautifully poached eggs on toast. All in all we had an excellent visit and intend to return for another meal while on the boat. The D, B&B rate was discounted by 10% when we booked on the internet and quoted “TNBNET2015”

You don't include Norfolk, Queren???

It will be dawn at 03.30 on the Friday, Nige, and Slack Water GH is at 07.15. I'd reckon on about 3 hours 30 mins from OBYS so you'd do it nicely if you couldn't get away on Thursday evening as Peter suggests. Personally I think there's so much to do in Oulton Broad that I'd stay! You would then be able to moor up at GHYS for an hour for breakfast until you get a real flood going up the Bure. You're also on Spring Tides so you won't need a lot of power to achieve 6mph or more (on Breydon).

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud, and we’ll be honest with you, we struggled with parts of it.

Welcome from us, too, Gussey. We hope you'll become a regular visitor.

A warm "Welcome Aboard the Good Ship NBN" from us, Nigel!

Good idea, Iain! I like: 11 Perfectly Good Reasons To Drink More Gin

Good afternoon TheQ, A modern take on your method is to split your links into singles and put them whole into a hot-air fryer without any oil. 10 minutes and they are perfect, but, of course, you do need the quality sausage to start with!

NOW I know why this year's bill is over £400 for the first time.....

I've just logged out and it's the same for me, Martin. Perhaps the little critters left on your computer are recognised Alan/jonzo, please give advice.

They must be using much lower fat pork, Ray.

Polly, Hi. We've already got a thread going where you might wish to add your comments on fly tipping: Where to leave waste on The Broads?

You could just do that on the Friday, Alan, if you left at first light!

Our previous boat was an Antares 760 (25ft) which we quite frequently took across to Holland. Come the warmer weather and we'd be happy to help out with longer cruises. In Middelburg She had the same TAMD 41P as yours. In Flushing
