Watched this half hour prog last night, and found it very interesting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b078ct7y/the-hairy-bikers-pubs-that-built-britain-5-lincolnshire

Hi Alan, If you walk up the road from old Aston Yard, you should pick up a signal at the gate exit. Iain

Hi Alan I thought they were erecting a mast in the Horning area? Lets hope so! Iain

Been to Swanage several times, nice seafront, parking in town can be funIf you fancy a run to a country pub, may I recommend this one. http://www.theelmtreeinn.com Unless changed hands, it was a must go for lunch when we were staying in the area. Enjoy your holiday there, Alan. Iain

I supplied Craig with several pics of boats I hired over the decades, the one on this thread was taken by Ruth it was our first ever "wild" mooring, on the Ant. One of the boats I hired is now a members, and has had a converted centre cockpit. So good to see it when in the hire fleet, I think. Iain

I am a new boy on the silver block, a tad over 67. I use to think nothing of going round a 6800yard golf course twice in a day. Or bowling 20 overs in a 50 over game. These days without the modern aids like my pal "SCOOT" and my car I would be stuck at home. This however does not stop my old grey cells from keeping an eye on the Forum. I am sure most of us, if not all of pension age, still are as alert if not as able as they were forty plus years ago! Yours, a recycled teenager!

May I wish you good folks down south and across the world, a very Happy St George"s Day ! Iain

Now a private cruiser with navigation lights on would not be right in a fabulous picture like this is! The saily has it by a long bowsprit. Iain

Or this one...

Think this is the cartoon you realy meant Steve.... Iain

We believe you Grace.....thousands wouldn't Iain

.Hi Alan, I would guess 1975 the year Ruth and I tied the knot or the following year where it lasted in total nealry eight weeks. The golf courses were almost straw colourec apart from the watered geeens! Iain

Once I am well enough, it looks like I will have to get out with the camera, and take some pics of Ayrshire and possibly over on the Isle of Arran, in the sun!!! Iain

16c yesterday Lyns, but yes 10c tomorrow, or less for the whole of the UK, hopefully the last Arctic blast! Errrr has it stopped raining in Manchester this year? Iain

It has been glorious up here ALL week, so there ! Steve If you look at the Lerwick web cam, you can see its sunny up there also. Where Eric hails from , yup it snowed the other day I believe ! Iain

How it looks from way up north! http://www.shetland.org/60n/webcams/victoria-pier Iain

I wasn't sure either, but thought put the link up anyway. Well found JA, clever boat, must have been the smell of wood is why you found it ! Iain

There you go Mark....I think? http://www.wayfordmarineservices.co.uk/product/moors-moorhen-classic-diesel-cruiser/

Welcome Kaety, Garry and Dawn to the NBN Forum Iain

Yep Geoff that was me many decades ago!

Member of the NBN wishes to see the inside of the Tower of London, on a permenant basis!

Hi Mark, That is from the Craig Slawson data base. Even my pic is on it if you look for Sun Glory ! Iain

If that was in a house it would be an earth fault leakage, Alan. When I worked on coastal coal and timber boats that had three pygmy lamps down in the engine room power board, if one was dimming you could bet it was a poor wire connection. I hope you resolve the problem quickly. As the Admiral says, a Meggar Tester may help find the fault. Iain

Yes! Have a guid holiday Stuart, and the weather is kind to you Iain

You are "jousting" JM .....Utter madness! Was he practicing for a medieval tournament? I bet he was guttered when the police caught up with him! Iain
