I took great care when typing that word Mike!!! Iain.

Yes, they were called Bankers.....Nothings changed! Iain.

Agreed Ray, By the time Robin you have completed all that work, it will be out of date, so require to begin again. Best get a job at a certain boatyard, then you can work on six boats at once! Iain

I was lost after Key Changes Iain.

Err you did of course mean the NBN Joining our happy band would be an excellent idea. Iain

Hi Robin, Yes there were indeed remote control TVs in the bedrooms, a flush toilet system too then like what we have at home. It was Mid October when I was invited on it and then it did have the dinghy on davits. I think from memory it was a cooker hood above the hob so that may explain the vent on the roof. The Fridge and freezer were electric and noisy! More so the freezer than the fridge. On another occasion we saw Pink Champagne down at Loddon and they had to moor it bow in because of the davits and dinghy. As you say, the amount of space is excellent for the number of crew it can have. The Centre entry door though not good for tall folk to get in and out of IMO. Iain

Hi Geoff, You are heading to where I was nearly born. I hope you manage up the Great Orme, the views are stunning from up there. Take a trip over the Menai Bridge if you have time, to a small village on the coast called Moelfre. http://www.moelfre.org/ Have a safe trip when you go. Iain.

Gentlemen, think about it, Grace at the helm, you wish a cuppa...use the magic words, sailey round the next corner....whoosh! Brew on the go right away! Iain.

I have a feeling it was a Ford engine of some sort on White Champagne. The two boats were built at the yard that went on fire I think. Easticks at Acle? Agree the late 80's Iain

Hi Robin, When White and Pink Champagne were at AJ Boats Acle, White had a seperate freezer and fridge, also a Mini Drinks Bar!. I remember someone telling me the water tank was 250 gallons, and took an age to refill. Sounds after all these years later, the heating is still not good, it was rubbish in 1990 when friends had it. They ended up using two gas cylinders just using the hob for extra heat. Before that, a group of Canadians were on that boat and were amazed at the space in it. But once again disappointed with the poor heating on it. Iain

Oh dear, a lady member who uses violence on a boat! Whatever next Iain

Smashing set of pics. Thank you for sharing with us all. I too will be "Scooting" about on the Broads in twenty six days. Iain

I suspect Howard if he wasn't he would have flown the nest a while ago ! IMHO, common sense in large amounts, by all concerned, is required to move the pub forward. Will it happen? Only time will tell, but I do hope so! I had many a guid night there when Bob McLaughlan was landlord. With his scary spider! Iain

I am missing Graham's jokes! Iain

Oops so it is duh Hopefully many will duplicate for this year. Sorry about my mistake. Iain

Hi The Taylors, I found this link. Don't know if any good for you. http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/mobile/news/bonfire_night_celebrations_your_guide_to_fireworks_displays_across_norfolk_and_suffolk_1_3830332 Iain

Ah the A17, what a wonderful road to discover all the makes of Tractors!!! As John said, you sure packed a lot in a short time. Iain

Hi Geoff, You have just reminded me why I drove over five hundred miles to get to that lovely part of South Wales. Nice to see all the repair work has been done at the Cathedral grounds at St David's too. Nice pics. Iain.

Ah ha Alan, perhaps IF you had used the very small sherry type glass for the beer, a clear head would have been maintained! I tried the wine making malarky back in the late 70's. As wine was so cheap at the Hypermarkets at Calais, decided it was the way to go, and stocked up there! A cheeky bojolly was only 79p a bottle! €5 a case of 6 Iain.

Hi Mat, A warm welcome to the NBN Forum Iain

Do you have room for 1000 + NBN Forum members to help you out! Iain

JA likes SKIPPING, Polly! Iain.

There are still a few bugs in this new system Geoff. Iain

Hi Geoff, Look forward to seeing pics of Dinbych-y-pysgod, etc. Hope the weather was kind to you both. Iain
