hi all i noticed on another thread that julz was from up my end, & i'm from NE derbyshire, & was wondering if there was any other poor person who lived as far away as me or further, from the broads ? lori

hi guys the last time i used a rhond anchor was when i used to go on the canals with my mum & dad, i found them particulary useful more when going into the locks, i found a lazy way to hold onto the ladders of some of the bigger locks, i used to tie the rope through the eye of the rhond anchor & just keep moving it up the ladders, & laughing at everyone else as they got their hands covered in slime from off the rope from the ladders, plus it was alot quicker doing it my way when moving your rope up every time you had to move it up to the next rung of the ladder.

maybe you could rig up a wire on your rope from the battery, to give the buggers an electrictric shock, lori

hi all sorry to hear another hotel is going, we've stayed in hotels at wroxham quite a few times but have never seen that one, where is it ?

hi andy i feel really sorry for you, i would have been heart broken,it sounds as though your boat started to fill up with water & then when the really bad weather came the water froze & with the weight of the frozen ice in the bottom of the boat made the bilge pump keep working overtime,because of that bad period we had it actually made one of our windows crack. hope you get it sorted soon. lori

the reason that i turn off my 3G is that it wears my battery down on my 3GS at an alarming rate, so only use it for downloading stuff. & yes brian i do have data package, but i'm soon to move from o2 to voda as the signal is getting worse, just got to wait for o2 to unlock my fone, lori

 hi guys have finally got that new webcam working on my fone, i decided to switch on my 3G on my iphone & it worked, looks like i'll have to do it every time i want to go on that camera, but at least it does work now. loriî‘

hi norfolknog loved your pics they're great, they're almost good enough to use on postcards,it was nice to see sandcouger again, me & my sister hired that one in october 2010,well done. lori

hi brian.j welcome to our forum, i'm sure you'll enjoy it, we're all a friendly lot on here, & we sometimes have a laugh too, & it's usually ramjet who starts that off, lori

hi strowager maybe thats the problem, because ive only got a 3GS fone, which has'nt got HD unlike the 4G iphone which has, guess i'll have to be content with looking at it on my computa. lori

hi norfolknog tried that link, but still does'nt work, maybe it's to do with my signal, as it's been lousy lately. but that's o2 for you. lori

hi all ,is it just me or has anybody else had problems getting on the new webcam at barnes on their fones ? ive tried about 6 times now & given up, at least ive got the other one at the wroxham hotel to watch. lori

hi neil i think it depends on what you want to use the camera for, it probably pays to buy a good one if your a profesional like david bailey, although i'd never pay £1000 for one i have got an old pentax P30T slr camera & it was a good one, it just got a bit back breaking carrying all those lenses around, i'm actually getting a panasonic lumix TZ10 FOR Christmas ,& looking forward to that.yay. lori

hi mark love the pics, looks like you've got quite a flair for it.lori

 hi all i don't know if you've noticed yet, but there is a new camera just been put up at wroxham, it's from barnes craft yard looking up to bridge. lori 

Oops i just saw that no one had put any comments on, but forgot to look at date, silly me.

hi dan me & my sister have been with them 3 times now, & think they're great, collin is a really nice guy, he's always looked after us as we don't drive & he's always picked us up from train station & taken us back when our hols is finished, his boats are always clean & you even get some tea & coffee put on board.

I definitely vote for sandersons, they've got some great boats, oh & if anyone knows collin, tell him poet lorraine says hi & i'll see him in a few weeks,

hi martham is not the only one to include fuel sheerline do too.

likewise ive been waiting for my blakes book for over a month, & they seem to have run out everywhere at the travel agents too, i get the feeling that they've not made enough this year.

i'd rather have a baileys LOL,

my favourite hire boat company is sandersons at reedham, this year will be our 3 time with them, collin is a really great guy he always looks after us as we don't drive, so we have to come by train & collin always picks us up at the train station & takes us back too, great firm.looking forward to seeing him again.

hi all just been reading some of your stories, but am abit puzzled whats these loyalty cards all about, we've been coming on the broads now for about 9 years, but never heard of loyalty cards ,what are they ?lorraine

hi ive actually seen a boat called tut & puff, but if i had my own boat ( dream on ) i'd call it whispering reeds, i think it sounds a nice & gentle name.
