  1. Wrong, if you look at the road map just outside Kilmarnock on the A77/ M77 you will find the village of MOSCOW See I wasn't kidding lol Iain
  2. Perhaps this is a conservation exercise? No bin lorries being used, improves the air quality! It's pathetic the lot of it IMHO. Iain
  3. May I try and put another slant on this from a purely hirer's perspective, especially IF I were a rookie hirer. Not a clue WHERE to dispose of boat rubbish. What would any self respective person do? Correct go to where you would expect bins to be. Take for example at Stokesby, there is a compound now bereft of bins, the hirer started said holiday at Acle the day before. There is NO boatyard there, but for over 40 years, I personally used that compound. The facility has been removed, but Dave says the boatyards should pay for the service, at Stokesby too? I think not! Heads require being knocked together across ALL Broadland councils etc, and get this mess sorted PDQ! All bins should be reinstated, so we can holiday in a clean and pleasant land. Well a bloke can dream. Iain
  4. Right then, perhaps we are structured in a different way up here regarding waste of ALL kinds. We have a very modern, well 10 years old or so civic amenity recycling depot, where I can get rid of everything from paint to oil, paper, wood, stone etc. It must be built into our council tax, as we do not pay anything extra to use it. We can even buy compost for the garden in the growing season. I may add, this facility is well used by all in town including the building trade with a pass badge that they do pay a levy on. I am surprised to read that you cannot get rid of old paint tins. Iain
  5. It may sound simple to you Dave, but folks do not come on holiday to spend all day searching for bins, a BASIC COMMODITY or should be, for gods are it's now 2016 not the dark ages, or is it? Three disposal areas is despicable and anti holidaymakers, boatyard waste or not! Aye and anti privateers too! Iain
  6. Headline reads....."Here is a TIP Come to Norfolk and be amazed!" Rubbish holidays guaranteed! I really feel for the locals whose air quality may well be deminnished this year. All very sad IMHO Iain
  7. We are on a side street, plod even keeps watch over my car, bless em Iain
  8. Mike, I have not been out the door since we returned from Linlithgow on Sunday. I have not been very well. That is my car facing the shortest way to get into it! I have my "own" disabled space. Iain
  9. A future Season ticket holder at Carrow Road? Congratulations Poppy. Another Capricorn member! Iain
  10. Are we talking about the Hampton Boats trademark version? They were quite sweet smelling on take over! Iain.
  11. Well it has happened here, a very rare occurence in January, its SNOWING! Big flakes too! Iain.
  12. I was sure Grace would ask about Moscow Iain
  13. Twa Hogmanays, now yer talking. Now where can I get a Russian passport? Oh anno where.....Moscow! It's barely 20 minutes from me Iain
  14. They don't stay sharp when used for mixing chocolate! Iain
  15. Dave, With a father that was brought up Wee Free Church of Scotland and a mother Welsh Chapel, I don't think, I come close to being orthodox ! Iain
  16. Snow, a rarity in these parts, forecast for tomorrow! Just now, very very wet! Iain
  17. YES!!! Mine! 17th January followed by Our National Bard, Robert Burns on the 25th of this month, another excuse to partake of the falling down water! Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey early February, that should keep your bank balance in decline Mark. Iain
  18. Excellent, well done all packer upperers. Now its an 80 day count down to Easter Sunday, and lots and lots of loverly chocolate! I can hear JA drooling from here! Iain
  19. The idea is magical, however finding the land big enough for several cruisers to Moor up close by, could prove somewhat difficult, with the present situation and loss of 24 hour moorings! However, remove Cantley factory, as in flatten it, extend the present pub to the rivers edge, moorings are already available job done, possibly? I do agree though Robin, decent coffee places are very thin on the ground throughout Broadland, a possible business venture for someone. Having holidayed on Lake Garda, every morning you could sample a different cafe' for coffee, bliss. The cafe at PH is not bad, but the coffee nothing to write home about! Iain
  20. Awe this new website Skipper, and nae subtitles fur oor Gracie! Iain.
  21. I've retired! One redundant tool box! Iain
  22. No chocies in those pics? Must be a fad developed later! Iain
