Thank you for the info. I think Peter is right, sadly.

I haven't been to the village for some years, there was discussion at some point about a coffee shop close to the car park, did this happen or is this one of those in this dispute?

I am not a constitutional expert. However, after every budget we are given a list of "detail" that wasn't actually spelt out at the time.After every major event (the next royal wedding) certain newspapers have people trawling through things that had been announced whilst minds were elsewhere. I answer to the original question. It matters to me. It may also matter to others who live in the area, as it was recently reported that houses in National Parks are worth more than those in other areas. This does not include me.

We have yet to winterise our boat. The problem is whose turn is it for the duvet this year? The engine on the boat or the wife at home? Think you're safe to vote as she doesn't read the forum.

I enjoyed very much your holiday account, thanks for posting. We no longer have to worry about half term dates, but I think that it was on this forum recently, someone also booked this week for next year, only to find the their school was having half term holiday the following week. If it matters to you and you have not checked, it may be worth doing so. I remember when we visited during half term years ago, there were some years when Guy Fawkes celebrations were taking place at the end of our holiday.

David, known on here as Swift and ExPilot is the man to speak to for any information about living in this area. I believe he is (or was) very involved with the residents association. I am sure if he sees this he will answer.

I fear that the subject of the team I support will cause some people the need to let off steam in this thread. Therefore I am announcing that this will be my last comment on this subject on this thread, I am sorry I but I feel that I must be a man of my word and not confirm/deny any speculation put forward by others. The way things seem to be going at the moment it seems as though there may be a few vacancies for politicians coming up, therefore I am practising evasive replies. I am not prepared to say which party I would stand for, but.............................

In another place, JP has stated that should a 3% increase in tolls be approved for next year, BA would consider using some of this money to install electronic speed signs. This for me is not about the increase in tolls, but do we want these signs on the Broads? I am firmly of the view that "something should be done about excessive speeding" however the nimby in me says no to these. We already have the parking machines which some of us feel ill at ease with. What do you think?

I now live in essex. I have lived in many places around the country and in Scotland. I have never lived in the place where my team are based.

My team won.

I believe it! We and several other boats were once set adrift at potter on Halloween, not a good experience fortunately no injuries.

Ha ha, is that fishing or phishing? For reasons previously stated I'm not taking the bait, or byte!

I have a terrible feeling that Halloween is about to join my list. With a bit of luck a may be able to enjoy an evening in watching my favourite football team on television tonight-a rare treat for a number of reasons, 'er on board likes Holby (I never watch it) so who is going to answer the door? Well, I'm the boss here so is isn't going to be me......('er on board doesn't read this forum as far as I know). As for my favourite team, I'm not saying as it may make a few non-believers break the Terms and Conditions of this forum.

Whilst visiting Sandwich in Kent this afternoon, we spotted Brooms Boat Perrapin N531 at the bottom of a slip. Looking absolutely immaculate viewed from across the river. Still sporting her Broads registration number, it looks as though she has recently had some work carried out.

Following TheQ-signs saying road ahead closed without saying exactly where. Earlier this year we arrived at West Somerton by car only to find the coast road was closed ahead. Went all the way back and up to Sea Palling, where the signs said "Road Ahead Closed" None of the locals seemed to know where the closure was or why but we took a chance and got to our destination ok. Throughout the year we have travelled extensively at night and this happens on major roads including motorways with very little info.

'er on board has just arrived home from Tesco with their free magazine: Win a holiday...we've teamed up with Monarch........

Well, apparently no one from BA noticed it!!

It seems that every time we contact a company (apart from BT who totally ignore us) we get a request to fill in a satisfaction survey. A company spent ages recently explaining every aspect of their work, wanted to ensure that we were completely happy, then explained that we would receive one of these, and they needed 9/10 for every question for them to "pass". Do you ignore them or reply to some/all? Only the ones which are good/bad in your opinion? If you have read this posting, please rate it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 !!!! 10 being best and I only want to see 10's !!

Probably better if I said-nothing now, but I have just to say that for the most part I do not feel as though I am doing as I am told, rather participating in democracy , which although it has many faults seems to be the best way known at the moment.

It's what the fowls do to our cockpit canopy I most object to.

I am sorry. I don't think those of us who believe in obeying the law, even though we dislike it, should be labelled "sheep".

Regarding the fact that the notice was put there originally someone at BA must have 1) thought. It was a good idea and 2) thought BA had the power to implement it.

I am pretty sure the no fishing sign was attached to the instructions regarding mooring times. This is more or less, I would say, equidistant between the bridges although perhaps a little towards the new bridge ( I didn't think to measure. When I rang they too had trouble finding the information as it apparently isn't included under potter heigham but seperately as "the green" or similar .

reply from BA in August: Dear Sir, Thank you for your telephone call of today regarding fishing at The Green, Potter Heigham. As discussed, there is a restriction on fishing at the bridge to ensure there is full access to the bridge hole by boaters. However, this only extends about 1/3 of the length of the mooring. Also as every site is designated individually (and some sites may have older signs erected) the fishing restriction notice you mentioned might not always be present. Please respond to me if you feel you want us to investigate this further.

I too like it there, but we had our grand daughter with us who is unable to walk far owing to a disability. She is ok to Lathams etc but any further it becomes uncomfortable for her. Over rough ground she is likely to lose her balance.
