  1. I found an old thread about this but the links in have expired! On my boat I have one of those chromed sticky up drum type filters with an upside down "u" pipe on the top. It has a removable filter that may have been in there since it was built for all I know.

    Anyone know what type of replacement I need and who might sell these? I have searched various web pages including ASAP and Brian Ward but can see nothing that would appear to be a "Cartridge type" insert. They all seem to be disposable inline jobbies!

     

    cheers in advance for any help!

  2. Is there not still a Garden Centre At Blofield near Brundall? It was doing a cracking trade when I last visited a year or so ago. Failing that, The Hardware shop in Brundall just off The Street is a veritable trojan horse of a place with all the stuff you would also find in a garden centre and some pot plants etc!

  3. I've had similar experiences many times especially with Grendels overdrawn scenario. 99.99999% of the time these letters are never touched by human hands and automatically sent out by bots!

    The machines are taking over the world!!!

  4. Great photograph there Vaughn. Brings back fond memories of a few stays I had with a mate who upped sticks to a derelict farmhouse he got for hardly any money at all at Montaner in Pyrenees Atlantique and proceeded to renovate this into a wonderful dwelling. The friendliness, helpful nature and hospitality of the folk there was warm and genuine. The general way of life really attracted me but, somehow, I lacked the actual gumption to actually shift! Something I occasionally regret.

    My daily visit to the boulangerie and relaxed sessions in the bar just passing the time of day with so many different folk was very tempting indeed. Although I love Yorkshire and The Broads I am a tad envious!

  5. My Old Man was a great believer in the CO-OP and we did the majority of our shopping there. This was in the day when they still had traditional department stores. I was a tad "rough" on my shoes and seemed to wear through the soles rather rapidly. I found myself going to school in some monstrosities called "Goliath".

    They were literally work boots without the collar for the ankle! Great thick moulded rubber soles. I didn't half get some stick at school! Much to my Dad's mystification, I somehow managed to wear through these just as quickly. Partly due to my desire to wear the bu**ers out and get a different pair. Imagine my horror when I discovered that they had an unconditional (almost) guarantee for 12 months! This kept me in Goliaths for some six years having at least a pair a year!

    It seems Goliath still exist very close to where I live! I shall not be visiting!
