  1. I'm clueless, but i have seen some very similar in B & Poo
  2. Aye Carrrumba!! Lowestoft is walkable?? Only if you're 15yrs old, Ten foot long legs and and a camp bed for when you get there. The railway Stn from Oulton to lowestoft commands a packed lunch and a shooting stick, an inhaler if your the remotest bit chesty and a razor for when you're halfway there if you want to look respectable the other end. Don't forget the Commodore has its own moorings and the public ones give you access to the Lady of the Lake, Wherry, Commodore and the wine bars.
  3. SHOCK HORROR PROBE. GOODCHILDS REDUCE PRICE OF DIESEL BY 40p A LITRE !!!!
  4. Pound for Pound Lead is without doubt the best thing for the job. But, IIb for £ it is by far the most expensive when there are alternatives available for nominal costs. Albeit there would be more space required to affect the desired load. Having said that there may be a few places of worship around the Broads area still untouched!
  5. I concur with Diesel Fallout, He must have forgotten to say that it would be so simple to hollow out all the moorings below the water line on the entire Broads
  6. Hello familyOMG, Welcome, Please excuse tryping. I don't know what sort of thing you're thinking of but the Broads are steeped in culture. No doubt i will offend someone by missing something out but anyway if its culture you're after then how about stopping off first at How Hill, and check out the Nancy Oldfield Trust, Then onto St. Bennets Abbey, From there a quick diversion and pop to South Walsham Broad and take in the nature reserve, Back to the Norfolk Wherry Trust then on to Great Yarmouth. The next port of call could be the Roman Burgh Castle and so to the Abbey at St. Olaves. From there you could take in Somerleyton Hall and on to Oulton Broad! Obviously with teenagers you'd want to bypass all the hostelries that line the route. There well i'm all cultured out now anyhoo. Enjoy yourselves and someone no doubt will post all the places your young herbets would like, Swimming pools etc.etc. Oh just remembered the museum of the Broads in Stalham
  7. Slo Gin............. Ideal for the Broads. Best of luck hope all goes well
  8. Are they the same as the ones on your Dive Deck Trevor?
  9. Me and Quo Vadis are in the middle of stripping an old Birchwood that fell from its trailer during a journey by road for tup north and getting deeper into it have found lots of old Sash weights laid on top of cork flooring tiles. They've settled nicely and looks to be ideal. They are still in it at St. Olaves and i'm sure the owner would let you have them for a couple of bob
  10. Have you finished your fine vessel yet BJG and can we see some pictures?
  11. Do you think that perhaps an Oriental or Chinese or even a Far Eastern takeaway may have been a tad more politically correct or is it because you cant spill to crave your lift? Anyhoo as for the repair, jobs a gooden mind you dont trip though
  12. WELL!! Excuse me, Mr. DonaldGeoffrey, but i did get Malthouse and by your own submission there wasn't a lot given away wit tuthers. Anyhoo thee areet?
  13. A bit disappointed when i opened the posting but nice pics all the same! The third pic is Malthouse but where is the first one young Donald?
  14. No need to apologise to me, just a bit of light hearted banter
  15. is there an interpreter in the house please?
  16. Which side of the fence does it live Trevor? or is there one both sides?
  17. Shouldn't think so, everyones got at least one in their back garden
  18. I replaced the old swim platform with two hull shape " tanks ", and have gained just over 300Kg bouyancy at the transom. Regards, Paul
  19. Sorry i might have misled you here, slates when hot shatter they don't send chards flying all over the shop but when the slate split the pieces are like glass. They crumble as well and my thought was in clearing the site with bare hands they may have caused someone grief when collecting handfuls. I have in fact fitted slate worktops in kitchens but there is always a disclaimer from the manufacturers Do not place hot pans etc. directly on surface as there is with all worktops. The slates i thought were being recommended were tired old thin roofing slates that were the problem. As with everything there are differing grades of natural substances and i bow to others superior knowledge of said subject. Please accept apologies
  20. Having worked in the building trade for forty years with the first twenty as a roofing contractor i can assure anyone that the people using slates under a disposable bbq must have been very lucky as they can explode when hot and shatter razor blade like pieces all over. Be careful brandenjg try and find yourself a proper raised grill of some sort to rest your barby on and when you're finished let it cool down and take it home with you.
  21. You're making a fine job there. Keep going you'll have loads of fun. Just make sure you've got room for a Party Four or two or a kettle
  22. We've also saw a black swan a couple of times at Pyes Mill on the Chet a little up from Loddon basin last year, were there last weekend but no swan
