Eric, Just checked, aye wife is here, thought for one minute she'd sneeked aboard with your crew!. THAT is precisely what SWMBO does to her healthy salads! Must be a womans thing! Iain.

Hi Mike, I do know in years past, every hire boat Alpha builds are for sale from day one or very close to it. We had Rapide in 1982, it was sold around 1989. Perhaps a member knows more than myself regarding boat sales there? Iain

They look similar to what is being installed in todays modern static caravans JM, and very nice they look too. But, will they pass BSS for boating? I am asking as I have not a clue if its a yes or not. My mates brand new caravan/lodge has one that is remote controlled! Iain.

Hi Eric, Glad you arrived back home safely. I agree with you regarding Enterprise, always found them good to deal with. The Swan was slow to serve us, the last time we were there. Its nice to have the extra toys (bow n stern) on board, I am looking forward to using both also on Broadway, totaly against my principles, but hey, a bit of luxury is nice now and again. The next trip, maybe best to acclimatise up here first Keep the blog coming. Iain

Hi Alan, Its an early print run for APRIL 1st! Iain

Todays FB pies the word pie is used VERY loosly If you like, love, adore those pies, please seek medical treatment soon! Or take a flakey, as thats all that is in them, pastry! Iain

Hi Alan and Neil, It looks to me a new website, as on google they are highlighting in large caps the basic Maffet name? Just the way I read into it. Iain.

Hi Neil, Down the left side of the new website link I sent is what you are looking for. http://www.maffettriverside.co.uk/page13.htm Iain

Seems ok Neil, try this link http://www.maffettriverside.co.uk/ Iain

Me n fish don't agree JM, but SWMBO and her sister love Mackerel Mackerel pate' hmmmmm yuck! Iain

Yes, excellent idea . Its only repeats and 24 hour news on TV during the day anyway. Unless like me having to read what you lot put on here Iain

Thank you Simon, very kind of you, I will graciously turn the offer of the award down though, JUST incase it rains! Iain

Hi Barry, A piece of history then, nice one Barry. My wife has been on the ship with a school party many years ago, she informed me being 6ft tall, is awkward for the back n head. Its a hard hat boat to inspect it below decks properly, I believe. I have done the ducking and diving on HMS Victory, and my old back complained later! lol I love to see these ships preserved for all to see, not forgetting your own lovely craft I may add. Iain.

Thank you Mrs McVittie - sorry I held off that reply for 24 hours, coudn't resist! - Nice to know you are well underway, and no chance of rain. Well you bought umbrellas did you not? Never rains after purchasing them on holiday. Good to read the offer of NBD for anyone not feeling brave enough to go through Ludham bridge, it can get in high season, very busy there, with crosswinds more so! Have a nice trip south and look forward to your next Biscuiteer update. Iain.

Yale? Legge? Chubb! Iain

Ah but Geoff it wasn't me, I now .....Ah Hartlepool, a place worth a visit to go and see this..... http://www.hms-trincomalee.co.uk/ Iain

Geoff, I always behave! Iain

Good idea about the tunnels Alan, one from Straceys Arms over to Braydon would save us the drag to GY Iain.

Bang goes your inheritance Alan Women driver....oops! Iain

Hi Grace, I think you should hire a BIG cruiser the weekend of the 3RR just think of the FUN you would have! Iain

MM said...... Yes, a very good point IMHO. Iain.

JM, early May is the answer lol, but, will ask Richos to fit all the relevant anti rat and dive bombing gear to my boat first! One has to be prepared! Iain.

Hi Leo, Were you on Tomorrows World? Yer pure dead clever so you are Seriously, its amazing what that wee silicon chip and such like have changed the way we live today. Iain

This appears to be the latest news...... Please do not email asking on the status of cameras as we are unable to reply. The Barnes Brinkcraft & Broads Tours Cameras are down for maintenance. Iain.

Maybe if you patronised the shop more often it would be open when you want it ive actually been working on shop business all over the winter rather than sitting non productively waiting for non existant winter clients once in a blue moon and actually from easter we are open 7 days a week until november no weekends off no bank holidays off . can you say that ? i think we can take time off when we want it as youre not paying my wages! Kindly do this type of chat please by PM. Ta muchly Iain
