    Bee T

    in The Broadscot Lounge

    Posted

    Just got off the phone from Shambhavi ( yes this is her name)

    I have a Bee T phone in my house but never use it, all I use Bee T for is unlimited broadband so I can send stupid messages like this one.

    Because I can I have been looking online at my bank account only to see Bee T are taking 97.50 per month, on asking why Shambhavi replied don't worry sir we will refund you 583.20 in 5 working days and reduce your monthly bill to 50.00.

    50.00 a month I say, how much is your monthly bill, nobody on earth pays that much, OK sir how about 42.00, she refused to tell me how much she pays.

    So what I am getting at is, check your utility suppliers, earlier this week Eon sent me 2 credit notes 1 for gas 44.55 and 1 for electric 107.48 and have told me my direct debit will remain the same.

    How long would this have gone on for if I did not phone?

    There I feel better for that.

    Can't you just use more of WEEE DOOUGIES ?

    Boat Sunk Beauchamp Arms

     I am not a photographer but have a camera that takes pictures. I'm nearer 60 than 16 and did not have any need for computers or the likes till a few years ago so if dates and things appear on a piccie then "jeez" I dunno!?!?. All I can say is that we went past the Beauchamp at the time stated on the pic Saturday morning and saw that. Unfortunately I had a chuckle to myself and a big schoolboy gloat as this was the pondlife that passed me and the missus last year whilst we were moored at Polkeys Mill prepping a dinner and they  must have been doing 15 knots or more. Laughing drinking weeing over the side and on a bend as well the wash was 2 /3 feet high. We had to hang on for dear life. Still God doesn't pay you back in money or old clothes.. All i'm hoping is that the set up at the weekend wasn't manufactured for some claim or anything. 

    Short visit toll

    I am actually surprised how little in colour they change. one from perhaps four years ago or a faded one could resemble an up to date one. As well as a colour change perhaps the expiry date should be in great big bold numerals. Would there be too much work and drain on the toll payers to change the system so its like the vehicle ones i.e. let the payee toll their boat for twelve months as and whenever, meaning that there may be less reason for someone to try and get away with it for a few months because its been out of the water or something. Might not the revenue then collected surpass the costs of the extra work involved? Works fine for millions of motor vehicles. 

    Using 16 amp cables on Leccy pillars

    Viking23,

    I believe the wording on the leaflet is to stop the situation which we have all seen in the past of 3 or 4 boats all hooked up to the same outlet using a variety of splitters and connectors. This often used to happen at Loddon until they installed more posts.

    :huh: Do boats really need a 32amp supply? They are getting way too posh now!

    P.s.. Always check whats left on the meter as in two weeks we never paid for leccy as there was always a ton of credit on them.. Don't forget too the BA ones (And the WRC (Don't know about others) ) take the full £1 card amount and you wont use it.. So always check before you top it with your own credit. 

    I don't think you'll get the chance now.  We called in a couple of times last week and the same old untaxed liveaboard brigade "minesweep" the basin now.  There are obviously not enough points at Whitlingham or Brammerton any more.

    Heard a rumour

    As has been said, many boats pass Bramerton slowly with hope to moor but as it is a popular mooring its always hard to get in. Unfortunately there is only one mooring past that where people could possibly moor and thats Commissioners Cut as Whitlingham is ALWAYS taken up by liveaboards which chose to let there dogs have the run of the mooring. Laughable as it is always the same ones plugged into the electric as well. The system is flawed badly when non tolled boats can have the run of the moorings without penalisation of any sort. Bramerton is the only chance of a mooring at the mo because we've also noticed that if a boat and their chums moor at the opening of Commissioners Cut no other boats can get in. My what a rant,  sorry

    How is that when I put a £1 card in I get a pounds worth?  SOMETIMES... :cry: ...........................................................Why is it that whenever I go to a post more often than not its 13p or some other random figure in debit so I always only get 87p worth or so? it then cuts out when the money has run out. How do I get it to run over?!?!

    Just browsing as you do! Happened to have a gander at the "Boat journey time tables" posted by Ranworth Breeze.  I wonder are the times given related to boating only?  as i can't understand how anyone could get from Stalham to Geldeston 2 hours quicker than from Stalham to Beccles unless they go by road. :shocked  :shocked

    What about Burgh Castle? It used to be chocker full of men wearing skirts, in the good ole days when Mars Bars were 6" long instead of 3"  now, and Loddon where you could go off and leave your keys in the ignition.....aah the good ole days. Jenny Agutter taking off her knickers and waving them about on a railway line !! just like Yarmouth sea front on a friday night. A little shop run by a bloke in a brown coat that sold everything you wanted, why is it I now need everything that an orange and white  shop on 25 hectares of land  say I need? aah the good ole days. When in winter with just two feet of snow we got to school and work. We don't seem to function now after a snow fall of an inch an a rarf !  aah the good etc. etc.  Watneys Red Barrel.... "Good Ole Days?" Oh mate !!  Our football team had a goalie that had rickets, in the end we phoned Ray Charles to see if he'd help us. Nit nurses pulling clumps of hair out. Not having a penny when needed sometimes. Cleaning out the fire grate, Porridge?  Whats that all about?  sitting in a tin bath while mother scrubs your back in front of aunties and uncles. I was 15 years old !!  WHAT GOOD OLD DAYS? I'm sitting here in a toastie house, warm, Gert ole telly, beer to one side.  Good Ole Days? I'll be down the boat tomorrow to check alls well and straight back here. But (I was always taught that you cannot start a sentence with but or and  etc.) but, we'll be out soon as, and looking for some good ole times so that i can tell my great grandchildren about the good ole days

    Gary01 spotted that one when it first appeared on Ebay last week in his post earlier on this thread...   :naughty:

    Well dang my breeches. my most humble apologies. I was away the day they handed out grey matter and had to sweep up what was left when the big fella went bo bo's. There's me digging me elbow in to the old girls ribs saying " Look I might be able to help fellow earthling" and you've shot me all a pieces. Anyhoo good luck and hope you find one, sorry Strowy. Beam me up someone right smartish!
