[Swimming in the Broads?]

hi jan , i agree with everyone else, i would not swim in the broads, you don't know what's below the water level, a relative of ours years ago dived into the water on one of the broads & gashed his leg quite badly & had to go to hospital, luckily my mum was a nurse & knew what to do, it can be quite a dangerous place to swim, & NO i definitely would'nt swim in the broads, lori

[NBO hacked again]

i had a few teething problems with my bank  because i got hacked, many years ago, & went into the bank to order another card as i did'nt feel safe using the one i had at the time, i think i got hacked at one of these stand alone machines, anyway i went into the bank & talked to one of the staff, & was shocked to hear her say that she used the password for all her stuff online, which to me did'nt sound good for someone working in a bank, i'd have thought she'd had more sense than that,  lori

[Incredible!]

 hi all, ive been using ebay for some years now, & never really had any problems with them, you can whatever you're looking for, as long as you're patient lol,  i can never seem to find what i want from amazon, as they seem to deal more with books than anything else & i don't EVER use gumtree, my sister was ripped off with them, as she sent some stuff to someone in nigeria, & t ,hat's a definitely a no no in my book, so i don't touch them,    lori

[wild moorings 2]

 hi andy, there is a quietish little spot where we sometimes go , i think it's postwick viaduct , it's a  little cut off the main river & a nice little spot,  just down from thorpe there's only the trains that'll really disturb you, but it is nice to just watch the boats go up & down,  lori 

[Bad Day]

 well all ,i had my bad day last night, the bulb went in the dining room & it knocked the trip switch off, so i was in complete darkness, then remembered the torch hanging up in the kitchen, went to get it & the damn thing went dropped on the floor, i could'nt find so tried to find my other torch but it was pitch black, & i could.nt find the matches to light the candles to see with, then i remembered my other torch was in my suitcase in the wardrobe, so went hunting for it tripped up over some shoes & banged my head on the door, finally found the torch & some more lightbulbs,  i told my sister & she just laughed at me & said '  .....  WAIT FOR IT !!!!     you'll have a good laugh at this ,  she said, why did'nt you use your fone,        erm  derr  ,  becus i'm a plonker        lol.  lori

[broads society badge]

[broads society badge]

[hampton boatyard]

hi all, ive heard some of you talking about hamptons, i remember seeing hampton boats years ago in a brochure, i can remember they were a khaki green colour, but did'nt like the colour very much lol, but can't remember which boatyard it was or where , can anybody shed any light on it ? & were they the same hamptons that's been mentioned on here ? Lori

[Wroxham and Potter Heigham Bridges]

When we last went through wroxham bridge the water was up, & i did'nt think we could do it, we got the bridge & a rangers boat was at the other side &waved us through , but i chickened out & made neil take it through & i could see the ranger laughing at me, but we only had a few inches to spare, & i'm always wary about taking boats through bridges, when it's other peoples property, & i think everybody should, it's just a pity that some of them you see on utube don't, & find it funny, which i don't. I ALWAYS respect other peoples property. Lori

[Lead Ballast]

I'll get my hubby to pinch some from his workplace at the lead factory.. Lori

[Wroxham and Potter Heigham Bridges]

I don't think they do take private boats through,or non hoseasons boats either, we usually hire from george smiths at wroxham ,& the people at the boatyard said they would'nt take us through, & that we just had to usr our noddle & be careful when going through. Lori

[Richardsons New Build Update]

They're really greag piccies clive, you must be proud seeing your boats finally made floating down the river,& people spotting them, it'f be abit like the eddie stobart spotting club lol. Lori
