And how's that supposed to get up Waxham Cut?

Or in my case, dispose of it in the next, then the next then the next......

We very much hope to spend at least a month on board our boat. There is little point in our mooring provider having bins, as we want to travel around the broads. So as owners there will be nowhere to get rid of rubbish. Going back to the moorings is not an option, especially as they are "the other side of that bridge". Much as we love our mooring, we have a boat, not a static caravan!

Perhaps we could sponsor a visit from some council officials and show them how (well) it works!!

Well, like the show and exhibits or not, there is one thing at least one can do when leaving a boat that we won't be able to do on the Boads-throw any litter straight into a bin! If only we could have sneaked some of those bins out and up to the Broads!

If they bring them to the Broads, they could become a tourist attraction: "Come and see the wildcats of Wroxham!" Even if they don't the Scots have made millions from the fictitious monster of Loch Lomand. I note that Iain has now replied whilst I am typing this, so I'm off. Don't know what he has said yet.

With a name like" Billy the Burglar" his parents must have known his future profession. Happy Christmas and thanks for all your work.

And to think we should all gain from the tax paid on the pay off (18 or 40 Million). Let's hope!

One can only hope that if these do become compulsary the above is taken into consideration, in order that they do not specify unsuitable equipment.

Before the big bang-probably driving along dreaming about Norfolk and didn't notice the lorry in front had stopped!

oo, I knew I should just kept quiet!!

"Like minded Pendants?" E said that, not me!

And before MM or any of his "gang" ask, as far as I know a Scottish "Drove" is not a boat!

I understand that many of the broads came into being following the digging of peat. I wonder what scare stories went around then? "If we carry on like this, Londoners will be able to bring their bling boats here" "stop digging-the Scots will arrive in their droves" (sorry Iain, couldn't resist it). "If we carry on, people will start hiring out boats, and a whole new industry will commence bringing jobs and visitors to the area" Perhaps they stopped because they thought burning peat would cause an ice age/global warming (take your pick).

Quick, buy a boat-it looks like there are moorings available!

I understand hardly a word of the above, but I do worry that like cats, computers do begin to own us, rather than us, them. From, me, a very reluctant slave!

Thank you for the info. JM The Derwent passes through the Peak District NP. Also one in the Lake District NP, then Captain Dread asks if BA are up that far? No, let's not go down (up that road)

I was told many years ago that the registration letters on boats related to the river where it was first registered. Was this correct? Our boat has "C"

He should probably change his name to Mr Tesco. From what I have seen, they would probably allow him to open a Marina in Dragonfly House!

If anyone is going and wants to park free on street, close to DLR station, let me know, I will confirm nearer the time that the dreaded Council hasn't put in restrictions, but up to now it's OK.

JM you didn't know HER from Adam? I suppose I have heard stranger things......

Imtamping2, I just told you that there is no logic in boat ownership, now you are trying to apply some!!!!!!!!!!!! Wouldn't know what to do with sheets and towels and ropes and halyards and masts, so proving my theory wrong, we have an Elysian 27.

I had one of those, jumped in and got really wet!!

There is no point in looking for logic in boat ownership.....it's not part of the package, Why do some people have unsuitable boats on the Broads, why do some people have suitable boats on the Broads, yet never move or use them? Maybe many of us share a strange DNA???

Thank you for the helpful replies. I will put the sledge hammer away.
