    Shame About Some Of The Old Fishing Hotspots.

    I do sometimes wonder that some fisherman think that if they put bait on a hook they will catch something, if they don't, there is something wrong with the river. Fish are not stupid, wind, temperature and time of the year will effect how a fish feeds amongst other affects on them of our river system.

    I have learned this from a seasoned fisherman, that some can't simply adapt to the thought that fish have a brain of sorts!!!!!

    Like that! I reckon folk think there is a mysterious being who catches the fish beneath the surface and sticks them on hooks as they dangle!

    Gas Locker

    in Technical Questions and Answers

    A goodly while ago my Norman failed on this very item. The examiner said the drain was too high from the base of the gas locker and needed to be no more than ??? Well, I can't recall the measurement he said but I ended up fire claying some heavy glazed floor tiles into the base. I also had to put some restraining straps on the bottles themselves.

    Shame.  No wonder it doesn't look busy when we pass.  Food menu used to be extensive, not expensive. 

    More than that, it used to be one of "THE" go to pubs on the Broads. Shame but it is sadly happening to far too many pubs.
