  1. hi paul , thanks for info, it's nice to see that they've kept the same colour, but i'm surprised they've not changed it to make it more their own, by the way paul, which one did you buy ? & what made you go for green for it's colour ? . lori :D sent from samsung tab2 on tapatalk2
  2. hi all there is also 2 more cameras as well, there is one at waveney river centre, but don't go on if you don't like spiders lol, as they look bigger than they are lol, there is also one at freedom , or at least they are putting it on their website, but it's in kingfishers yard, but it's not very good, all you can see is a fewboats & the ground, lori Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 2

  4. hi all , can i just ask, what is that box at the top that says, what's on your mind ? do the comments come onto the normal section somewhere on here or is there another section i can't see on tapatalk, & what's happening about the nbn flags ? now that the forum has changed it's insignia , do we throw the old ones away now ? lori Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 2
  5. hi carole we've also hired a few times from horizon boatyerd, we've had spring & summer horizon, they were'nt bad boats but i did'nt like where the engine was right in the middle of the boat, so it could be very noisy & your ears would be humming after a days cruise: we've also decided to try something different this year, me & my sister are hiring distant horizon, so we'll have to see how things go, lori Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 2

  12. Hi jill , it may be untrue, but it makes you wonder if you are being charged for the extra fuel as it still keeps coming until you click off, so there still must be some fuel in the pipe from the petrol pump to your car, so it has to go somewhere & thats back into the petrol pump via another tube inside somewhere,lori Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
  13. Ok guys ive deleted the pics, lori
  14. I think my favourite hire boat was the two astons we hired, aston crossbow & longbow, they were so easy to drive & plenty of room on them too, I feel rather sad that they are not around any more. Lori , sent from my samsung tab2/ on tapatalk2

  20. Hi julz, i saw the vulcan at east midlands airport when it was at the other side of the airport, & ive been the museum at newark & seen one there, I actually saw one fly over our house a few weeks ago, I thought it was thunder outside at first, then I went out & saw the vulcan flying over, WOW what a beauty, & that roar goes right through your body, she's beautiful, & ive entered the raffle in vulcan to sky, prize raffle, & the 1st prize is a flight in a spitfire in formation with XH558, the 2nd prize is to fly in formation with XH558 in a blades aerobatic aircraft, gulp the 3rd prize is a harley davidson XL8831 motorcycle, the 4th is a day for 2 with the red arrows RAF display team, brill, & ive actually got my name on the inside of the vulcans bomber doors, wow , as you've probably guessed I'm a vulcan fan,sorry can't help it , she's so huge & yet so elegant & what a roar , ive also seen an old black & white film when she did a full barrel roll, WOW . Ok nuff said ,: lori sent from my samsung tab2/ on tapatalk2
  21. You can bet your bottom dollar that if the people who've bought the land lose then they'll probably try another way of stopping people mooring there, by charging to moor there & you can bet it won't be cheap. Sorry to sound like a doom & gloom merchant lol, it's just the way I see it. Lori
  22. hi all , ive just read the towpath paper & apparantly vandals have been destroying locks on the 21 lock flight just down from wolverhampton to the staffordshire canal, & it's going to about £80,000 to repair it, so they've had to shut the 21 flight lock til about 12th august, right at the peak time for people holidaying ,i just don't know what these vandals get out of it, they must have a warped sence of humour, i just don't know what they gain from doing this kind of vandalism, lori Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
  23. yes jill, but i think john prefers them without feathers : lori Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
  24. Oooooh you're such a flatterer john, isn't he jill ? I see you've changed yours john to a jet one, which one is it ? I can't quite make it out, lori
  25. talking to some of my friends, they think it's very expensive on the broads, but I think it depends on which month you go , how many of you are going & what boat you hire, I just can't see the point in going abroad just to sit drinking & reading books like my auntie does, & I just haven't got the patience to sit for an hour in an aiport, I do find it a little expensive for us, because we always hire a big boat & there's only 2 of us, if there were more it would have been cheaper for us, but nobody is as nutty about the broads like me & my sister because I can't drive a car , it gives me chance to drive a boat & I enjoy it, no roundabouts & no traffic lights plus I really enjoy being afloat, it's what floats my boat so to speak, plus I have a sentimental thing about it with going to the broads as a child. & seems to something in my blood. lori
