Good thinking Alan. A printed sheet of A4 in bold type.....Power!!! Iain

Err...will I quarintine that lot Dave? I do remember sampling Tolly Cantab250 rocket fuel in a small bottle. Walter Coe sold it at The Locks Inn! Alan, I have sampled The Bishops Finger in my time , but found the Spitfire ale a bit dry for my pallet, probably the water? Iain.

Dave, There were, possibly still are, a lot worse pints than JS. I would imagine Eric remembering Dryboroughs Sludge I called it Or worse the first I ever sampled on the Broads...Watneys Draught Red Barrell...yuck! Iain

Hi Eric, Just been thinking, John Smiths should commission you for an advert, how far would you go for a pint of John Smiths Iain.

Hi Eric, Nae Cardhu oot there? Iain.

Nah Tony, a piece of cord tied round yer chest and three hot water bottles attached to same cord Iain.

Hi Tony, I agree with Alan regarding the temp of 55c also with those stats not always being exact I would say 55c minimum. Iain.

Watever happened to good old Simonize Original and elbow grease Lasted for ages and ages. Iain.

I am one of the "lucky" ones, my father was too young for WW1 and in both wars, was in a reserved occupation. However, I had two uncles who were blown out of the water, one twice the other once. One in the Royal Navy the other Merchant Navy. They never talked about it though. My old GP had been a MO on HMS HOOD, but was transferred to a destroyer for a suspected case of small pox. The Hood went out then, and never returned. Years later I was working at his bungalow, as you walked in the front door at the end of the hall was a oil painting of HMS HOOD. I am sure there are many stories like this, and for many the pain will never go away. This time of year must be very poignant to so many. Iain.

Hi Robin, That should come with a health warning So TY for your warning instead Iain.

Oh dear young Alan, that is Christmas Prezzies OFF the family list....yours! lol Iain.

Hi Jay & Jo, Welcome to the NBN Forum from me also Iain.

Hi Simon, One boat we hired several times was "Sharon" at Alan Johnson Boats, Acle. Three times a year! The Bounty bath tub was a very popular boat then as were the the FB Wilds fleet bath tubs. I am typing this, and thinking back to those days when we hired a dinghy also. Now I would require to hire a crane to get me into a dinghy That boat had many happy memories, and have in the past been moored next to it. Iain.

Hi Alan, I assume that from now on its all working towards the stern? Iain. p.s, Send Grace some pics in a PM of yourself, that should keep her quiet for five minutes lol

Ohh err Grace, which Building Society Branch? was it then! Iain.

Oye young Alan, whats this "probably" thing/bit, no slacking allowed really, talk about part time boat builders! By all accounts a good days work was completed, good, well done. So up with the lark or whatever birds are at your moorings in the morning. Onwards and upwards what! Iain. p.s. You can tell I was a foreman at one time!

Congrats Clive to you and all the team. Very well done As others have said, going the extra mile can, and does make all the difference. Iain.

Hi Beano and welcome to the NBN Forum from me also Iain.

Would require very low water to get under the bridges at Gt Yarmouth! Iain.

Hi JM, PM sent. Iain.

Hi JM, May I suggest a NEW thread for orders, that way you should get them pretty quick. I was under the assumption you were in discussion with Jonzo still. Or, I have missed a thread? Iain

Congratulations on the completion and removal to Stalham. May you have many happy times cruising on her. Well done! Do enjoy the fruits of your labours. Iain.

Hi all from Hippersons, Welcome to the NBN from me also Wishing you every success in your running of a well known name of Broadland. Iain.
