  1. Not good news for locals or holidaymakers.... http://www.edp24.co.uk/business/stalham_barclays_bank_to_close_after_more_than_100_years_1_4163173 Iain.
  2. Hi Andrew, I don't know if you have read this or not. but may put you at ease. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186342-d208513-r290444567-The_Broads-Norwich_Norfolk_East_Anglia_England.html Iain
  3. Its a gorgeous day up here Robin Makes a change! Iain.
  4. Well someone is going to say it! It may as well be me! lol How do you like to be cooked Grace? Rare, medium rare or well done ! Iain.
  5. IMO The Falgate has never been the same since the fire there https://pintsandpubs.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/pubs-of-potter-heigham/ We often made that our last night meal stop, as the food then was superb. Iain
  6. When I use to go to away football matches following Ayr United, Gayfield Park, as you and Erc will both know its virtually in the North Sea lol. The smell of smoked fish wafting across the ground was something else! Sadly me and fish don't agree, but without doubt they are the best available. IMHO. Iain.
  7. Hi Neil, Premier Inn have upped their low price to £32 I think. I booked two rooms at West Lynn for May this year, however I did book them well in advance. I did the same for the Darlington Premier Inn for the return trip also £32 per room. I have always booked Premier Inn rooms very late evening, maybe that's the best time to nab a bargain! Iain.
  8. Hi Polly, Did you not do the FREE upgrade to Windows 8.1? If not do it before 10 comes out. 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial has the start button and you can use many things like 7 Its basically a big Smart Phone IMO lol Iain
  9. Well, well, Neil, You mean there is another bright spark on here! lol I was also a self employed spark from 1983 till health issues put an end to it. I wish your phone to ring often so you can make the bawbees tae return to the Broads, Neil. Iain.

    Ahoy Orca

    Have you been eating dictionaries again Tim? Brilliant just brilliant! Iain.
  11. Well spoken/written Neil. It has been a delight to read all your holiday tales. If your family have any sense at all (and I am sure they have) you will be heading back to Norfolk again ASAP! Iain.
  12. Hi Lincan, Welcome to the NBN friendly forum I have to wait till September to hopefully see the Vulcan in flight at Prestwick. Iain
  13. That's an awfy long way tae go for a Kipper, John. Iain
  14. Just where is the parking for the Beccles one? I remember there wasn't much space at the back of the hotel. Iain.
  15. Hi Ray, We have stayed in the one at Glenrothes, it wasn't as plush as the one at Beccles, but the bedroom was big. Would use again if the price was right. Iain
  16. One model that was biscuit tin then was the Fiat 127, even the Japanese cars then were potential rust buckets from day one, but were mechanically very reliable. Now cars are lighter and prone to less rust. A mate of mine worked in a car accessory shop, in those days his biggest seller was Ku-rust Iain p.s. For my sins I owned a FB Vauxhall Victor rust bucket but the cow hide leather seating was awfy cumfy lol
  17. Nice time of year on the rivers. Less busy too. Only downside if you can call it that, is daylight hours for cruising. Iain..
  18. It rusted before it left the factory! Iain
  19. Bobdog said..... Aye no bad at all, am sure though some bright spark will find a way of getting back on thread! If only there was a Tracker for such a thread! Iain
  20. Thank you for saving me or any other Mod a job Warp. Iain
  21. Hi Andrew, One other wee tip, if you have or can purchase Avon Skinsosoft, it helps to keep the Mozzies at bay. Also Tee Tree Oil. Iain.
  22. Ah but your manouvers are made much easier by the skills of us stinkies helmspeople persons Iain
  23. I have always been under the impression that is the Aberdonians who were famous/infamous for such remarks I have always found the Yorkies to be extremely generous. I'll expect my cheque in the post by Saturday, Alan. Iain.
  24. Hi Sue, At least there is one Concorde I believe being cared for here... http://www.nms.ac.uk/national-museum-of-flight/discover-the-museum/the-concorde-experience/ Iain.
