BroadScot

After reading about his visit to Upton, it reminded me of the tremendous amount of work he has done here https://dumfries-house.org.uk/ He has put his own money into this project. Good luck to him, I say.This is the side of the Royals we often never hear about. Iain

A good excuse to head to Norfolk once the job is completed Iain

You can indeed JM, but I believe he is trying to help his good ladies fears/phobias. If the Dover ferry scared her then, a wobbly yacht won't help matters IMHO Iain

I have looked through Bittern when we stayed at the houseboat there. It is a very well fitted out boat, as Boddog said. You would not be disappointed hiring from there. Iain

I DO have to read them all Iain

Don't know if the Broadlander paper, will be out by then, if it is, it has lots of local information. Enjoy your March and August hols. Iain

What! No high heeled shoes Eric Iain

Poppy, I thought everything was a secret in the BA Iain

Very good Frank, as we don't do Jokes on here.....Do we Poppy? Iain

I would add Norwich Yacht Station , Roy, I think to the South Broads. Iain

Your good lady has not read the Forum , yet Frank Like your style though Iain

Just remember folks, Lidls promos are often in the store the day before, the same as Aldi does. Iain

Aye JM, so long as you had an interpreter with you! Iain

All the best for Lady P, may she be back on the Broads ASAP. Iain

Calm down Neil, it's bad for the blood pressure! Iain

Dunno John, only what I have read, and noted how clear their accent is up there when been up on short break holidays. Two of the girls work for the BBC Weather, now. Iain

Where is the cricket ground there? I've been to the footy ground many times, have stayed in Dingwall for short breaks, never saw a cricket ground though. Iain

TheQ, they say the same about Dingwall, there has been several lady weather forecasters who hail from there, they got the job because of their excellent diction. Iain

Excellent news, Frank. Now will be able to enjoy all that is wonderful about the Norfolk Broads. Enjoy! Iain

They say those from Inverness are the finest speakers in the UK, would find that a breeze! Iain

Hi Nigel, Welcome aboard the NBN Forum. Iain.

Just received this email.....

We have brown bins for garden waste, collected twice a month from late February till late October, they in turn sell later as compost £2.00p a bag. Blue bins for glass, paper and plastic, and green for general waste from your house. It appears to work well so far after approx 10 years or so. Iain

My father was a butcher/ hamcurer, so From a very early age was spoiled in the eating of quality meats, both beef and pork. Sadly today, I think the recipes have changed, and not for the better IMHO. Even our "square sliced" beef sausage it nothing like as tasty as it use to be. I believe certain E numbers have something to do with it, but not100% sure. We use to buy the pork snorkers from the butcher in Horning many years ago they were delicious. Iain

These items are NEVER IN the front of a cupboard.....are they? Iain
