I was 17 years old and the proud owner of a Singer Flying 9.
When the local PC knocked on our door my Mum told me to keep quiet and out of sight. (She assumed it was about me...).
"Does the owner of a Singer Flying 9 live here?"
"Yes" said Mum "But it wasn't him" (whatever I'd done)
"He was seen doing 35mph down Cromwell Road" (nearby home in Grimsby).
"Well that's definitely not his fault" said Mum.........
"How do you know that?"
"His speedometer doesn't work!"
PC Plod disappeared down the yard in nigh on hysterics...
Morning, Eric.
It's a bright sunny morning onboard here in Brundall, temp 8degC and wind a gentle NNE/10kts!
P.S. We had our second pub Christmas Dinner last night... Monday night at The Ferry House, last night at the Strunpshaw Shoulder of Mutton, with Alan & Tan, and tonight will be the third at The Yare here in Brundall! Life's pretty good!
When we return from Yorkshire or Scotland we never turn off at Newark and accept the extra 20 miles going via the A14/A11. Likewise going North.
With the Barton Mills/Thetford bit opening in 10 days it will be even easier!
The A17/A47 is just too much trouble............
Welcome aboard the NBN, David.
Peachment in Brundall know about as much as any with reference to Nanni's Franglais! Very helpful too.

I've thought of moving it to "Technical Questions and Answers", Alan, and perhaps change the header to "Winterising your boat"?
Any other suggestions, please?
Alan, Hi
Sorry to contradict you but the electrical element in our calorifier does do just that... heat all the water within to whatever you set the thermostat at (in ours 60degs).
Tony Hi
Good luck with all your winter work!
