    Stuck On The M 20!

    One of my pet hates is when food is served on boards/skates or anything other than an old fashioned round plate .

    This was my only complaint with my meal at The Sutton Staithe hotel , my gammon steak arrived on an oblong plate , chips were in a mini fry basket and the peas were in a mini galvanised bucket , it (to me) makes a lot of unnecessary washing up .

    And !!!!!!

    they use bl**dy sachets for condiments and the mustard is not Colman’s , it’s a good thing I always take some freshly made mustard when we go out for a meal (Kate carries it in her bag for me )

    The condiments have to be in sachets because of covid regs.

    Testing the drivers has been suggested , it’s more a case of France using the situation as an advantage in the current Brexit talks (I believe)

    :facepalm: Personally I would tell the French Government that all the drivers had been tested and they were all negative

    and let them roll.

    Bit late with that then!   Hired Absolute Freedom last year and thought it was OK then.  Will be a great boat when re-fitted.

    Some hand rails on the stern would be handy (imho) but thats another story!?  :default_hiding:

    Could it be that Absolute Freedom has been sold and is going to be totally internally refigured and that is why there are no proper details of an internal layout ?

    Colour Slides - Advice Please

    Personally, I would like to see the polaroids! :default_coat:

    I'm sure they will be fine as long as they have been inside a container and exposed to changes in atmosphere. When you get to them, before you open the boxes or whatever they are contained in, clean any dust/muck away thoroughly from the outside before opening as it's amazing how slides and negatives act as a magnet for it.

    :facepalm: The Polaroids faded, just like my memorary now!

    Colour Slides - Advice Please

    in Photography

    Posted

    When I was young - yes I can just about remember - I was quite keen on photography and took a lot of slides for a while which would have been mostly 'Broads' related, no not

    that sort, we used Poloroid for that!  Anyway, the last time I saw them was when we moved 20 years ago and they were stored in a loft I created in the garage.  As far

    as I know they will have been dry and kept in the dark.  I am thinking of delving into this space to find them (not an easy task) and putting them onto a DVD but am unsure

    whether they will have survived enough to make this worthwhile?  Appreciate your thoughts.  Thanks

    Sorry mate, I'm late to this thread but I would say get your lights and decorations up as and when you please, sod anybody not feeling the same way, it's not hurting them to see a joyous festive scene during the winter. And in these current times we could all do with a little brightening up. 

    I'm pretty sure nobody will be surprised to know that my decorations are in the process of being put up, well it does take a few weeks complete you know :default_xmas2:

    :default_smiley-angelic002:

    :default_xmas3:  Well I gave in and we put them up this morning - best news now would be that the pub can re-open!?

    Whatever - Keep safe all of you, try to be happy and have a good one.  :594c04f570582_default_happyparty:

    Hi ya Gracie.  To be honest - not yet!  I did wonder if people might not take it as intended - so leaving until tommorow!

    So I reckon the weather forecast for Hawkinge will be raining and blowing a gail, but who cares.  I will try and send a 'photo

    but there 'aint that many, its the thought that counts!  Keep safe, keep well and have a good one.:default_beerchug::default_xmas3:

    :default_icon_e_surprised:  Lights update.  My son, who is the Landlord of our local pub came round to help put up the lights..Whilst having

    a quck coffee before we started it came up on tv that Kent will be 3 after lockdown.  Did'nt put either of us in the right

    mind so lights still in garage which is where they will probably stay now.  He had decorated the pub with lights ready

    for re-opening on 3rd!  I think he is taking them all down at the moment.  What is there to be cheerful about witjh that

    news?

    Well after a pretty bad day I walked to the school to collect my children and show them the house with the decs and the Santa train. The look on their faces was an absolute picture, something I will never tire of no matter how early it is. I had some pennies I gave them to put in the donation box, the excited chatter on the way home put a ruddy spring in my step. So whoever wants to put their decs up early then go ahead

    Which reminds me Alan (aka Happy) did you put yours up? If so, where's the ruddy pics :default_biggrin:

    I know I've posted this before, but it seems appropriate to do so again.

    This confirms the reason for my original posting!  Still not sure what to do.

    Sorry,  have to disagree by the time Christmas gets here you will be totally fed up with the Dec's.  Dec 1st is bad enough,  if I had my way it would be about the 10th Dec.

     

    Sound like we should ban them altogether then?

    Go for it Alan. I think it's a wonderful idea, lordy knows people need cheering up and something to smile about in these difficult times. Nothing wrong with putting them up early, I've seen quite a few already, the children love it and it gives people something good to focus on too

    I know someone who would have his lights and decs up in September if he could get away with it :facepalm:x

    :default_xmas2:

    Hi Gracie, thanks for that!  If people moan I will blame you!  I will sort them over the weekend and put them up on Monday.

    Might even post some pics - may have started something. Whatever.  Stay safe and try to be happy.

    :594c04f570582_default_happyparty:  We normaly decorate the outside of the house with a display of lights about 2 weeks before the 25th.  There has been a lot of talk in

    a few places regarding putting up lights early to cheer everyone up.  Not sure whether this is a good or bad idea.  Your thoughts please.

    Seamaster 27 Build Number

    in Broads Chat

    Posted

    Thanks.  I belonged to the original Seamaster Club years ago when I purchased my first Seamaster 30 and they

    had a wealth of information but seems to have changed now.  I know Viking are using some of the old moulds but not sure

    they would have, or need to have, the old build records but maybe worth a try.  Thanks again.

     Hi guys.  A freind has just purchased a Seamaster 27.  Originally factory built as it has the Seamaster 

    Factory plaque at the helm.  The number is 3111 and I have said I will try and find the original build date.

    Any ideas please?  Thanks in antisipation.
