  1. Its young Robin I feel sorry for, Griff will be used to the freezing cold temps of darkest Donny. Robin, being a Londoner must have thought he was in Siberia Iain.
  2. Hi Mark, Just off a roundabout to the left is a Tesco Station, its prices are reasonable. I have topped up there in the past. Sorry, I never look at place names apart from how far till Kings Lynn Iain.
  3. Luckily with my new car I will not require to top up till I go to Sainsburys in Kings Lynn which is barely a mile from the Premier Inn. Fuel is cheap there. I could not believe the prices for fuel at Wetherby Services, eye watering they were. Iain.
  4. It IS my favourite route, it means I am only three hours on a good day from a boatyard! Iain.
  5. I have two stops before Kings Lynn, Premier Inn, first is over the border at Southwaite Services, as it has a RADAR Key Disabled Toilet and my other at the newish Wetherby Services also has RADAR Key facility x2. Neither I use for fuel though, daylight robbery! Iain.
  6. Mark, I thought it was UPS that delivered or errr was that OOPS! Iain.

    They do say that January is the silly season, Griff and Gracie have just proved us wrong! Iain.
  8. In my younger days as a Electrician Apprentice, we did work for a lady author Elizabeth Kyle, not her real name I may add. On the kitchen wall notepad board, were those exact words Polly....Polish, edit but ended get it off to the publishers! She was a regular frequenter of trips to Sotherbys, so must have made a few quid out of writing. Iain.
  9. Jon, Make sure those lovely tappets are nice n quiet when yer doing that engine up! Happy memories seeing an engine like that these days. Iain.
  10. When I have been coming from Harlow area to go to Stansted Airport, I have come off the M11 and went into the village, I think is called Stansted or Little Stansted sorry not more exact, but found the pub grub not bad there and easy parking too. Iain.
  11. I have been promoting the Norfolk Broads up here since 1970, and have sent quite a few down to holiday on water, caravans and cottages. I know a couple with two young boys are waiting till the boys are a bit older, so they can appreciate it all when they get to hire a boat. Robin, I too when I have been down in darkest Surrey for a short break and spoken to locals there who have not heard of Norfolk. Personally I blame the Geography Teachers in that area One thing is for certain, I KNOW about Norfolk and in 111 days I will be on the Broads again! Iain.
  12. Oh with one buying out Clarks Shoes and reduces the red wine levels of Waitrose, plus, the other one wanting to melt Ian's bank balance at the Boat Show, I will do what all Mods do, sit on the fence, for now Alan Iain

  14. Tim, I dinny watch "B" Movies . I do hope the eye is on the mend. Iain.
  15. Awe Grace, the poor fella is stressed out fitting out Orca, that right young Alan? I blame Andy, he should have used WHITE ink! A nice offer I must say just the same. Iain.

I aint supposed tae hae a bit swallie Eric, but am having a wee Bucks Fizz tae bring in your 2015. Then let us pray that come it may, (As come it will for a' that,) That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth, Shall bear the gree, an' a' that. For a' that, an' a' that, It's coming yet for a' that, That Man to Man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that. Iain.
  21. Looks a bit milder for the roads, Steve. Safe journey to Yorkshire Iain
  22. In the late 60's early 70's for extra money in my pocket, I worked behind the bar. All the pubs I worked in had a German Shepherd or similar. One alsatian in particular would come to your table if last orders and get yerselves out time! One bark was sufficient! Seriously I hope the plods nab this vermin PDQ. Pubs as said, do NOT need this kind of trouble now or any other time! Iain
