Hi Grace,
Tell your friend that you know someone who is based in the middle east and it's easy to go to all the Med resorts and more. Where do I go ???? PARADISE - THE BROADS.

Matt,
I'm hiring next March and got 5% off the 2014 March price. Works out at less than half of what I paid for a week in August this year.

Doug,
As a matter of interest, how long do you steam a 4 X 2 rib for before you can shape it?
-
Matt,
I'd love to have a month, but the school holidays dictate when I can go.
-
I just returned a boat 2 weeks ago to Richardson's and have just re-booked the same boat for next year at 5% of this years price. I think that's pretty good.
-
JO,
I think there is a track to the place for deliveries, but I don't know how good the track is and if it would be suitable for normal cars.

MM,
A very sincere "All the best of luck". I'm sure that most, if not all of the members would be behind you on this one. As I said before, I for one, would hit you at least twice a visit.

Imagine if someone invested the money for some decent floating moorings with movable steps or a ramp. That would make a big difference. Berney Arms could rise again.

Eric, as I said earlier on this thread, the demise of the southern boatyards must have hit trade there. It was a Scot, Bob McLaughlan who was in there for years. But he I think, saw the writting on the wall.
Its a potential place, but you need customers all year round! IMHO to make it work.
Iain.Iain,
I also remember 2 gay guys that ran the place for a while. It did good business back then, so there is little reason that with the right person running it, it couldn't do it again.
-
Iain,
Fortunately, I can get Branson here to keep reminding me of the broad's sannies.
-
MM,
I also kid you not. Put the right guy in there and I will visit at least twice on every trip.
-
MM,
Don't forget the 23 beers on tap.

Can't remember the exact time Peter, but It was certainly before 8.00am.

Iain,
If somebody looks up the word "breathtaking" in the dictionary, the answer should be the West Coast of Scotland. Absolutely stunning shots !!!!

Peter,
Looked on the camera this morning and can't see his boat anymore.

We spent Christmas day last year at the Surlingham Ferry which we highly recommend. Luckily the weather was mild with only a touch of frost, but still had the ebby chucking the heat out. 5 hours must be the longest we have ever spent over a Christmas dinner in the pub!
Now that is what I call a good lunch, only to be topped off with a little nap afterwards.

John,
Kfurbank got it exactly right (thanks for that K). The phone number is 01493 488432. Enjoy the food.

No John, It's the Priory Inn (part of the old Priory is in the grounds). I think it used to be a farm building that was converted to a restaurant when the farmer's daughter married a chef. The Manager is called Simon and he has been there since it opened. They have a small web site, but I always make content by fax from Saudi. It has a nice entrance and driveway with animals either side of the road.

John,
From the Bell Inn moorings, it's a 5 minutes walk to the front door. Turn right out of the Bell Inn gate and a couple of hundred yards up the road on the left. Well worth the visit, although I have never drunk the beer there, so can't comment on that.

I work in the hotel business and my example is that if a customer parks their car in the carpark, there are signs that say the hotel will not accept responsibility for the car, or its contents. I have personally witnessed people who TRY to claim for damage or theft and because of the signage, they get nowhere. However, I don't know if that would apply in this case.
-
I've used that restaurant every time I have been on the broads for the 22 years (I think) it has been open and run by the same people. I have never yet had a bad meal and the service has always been excellent. Was there 2 weeks ago and will be back on our next holiday.

Alan,
After reading that - all my problems have been shrunk into oblivion. It just goes to show how fortunate most of us really are. I look forward to hearing when little Sarah goes to University. (my tears are drying up now).

Of the 8 contributors to that thread, only 2 were critical of the BA (usual suspects?).
For anyone interested, the planning application, subject of that thread, can be found here.
We seem to forget that there is no right to moor on private land. Whether the land in question is owned by the BA or someone else is immaterial.
I don't know why the owner has decided to prohibit mooring, but tacitly permitting mooring imposes a duty of care on the owner. The risk of being sued these days is so great that it surprises me that we are still provided with so many informal moorings.
The last paragraph is an excellent comment and if I was an owner, I would have 'NO RESPONSIBILITY' signs everywhere.
Iain.
I am sorry but another doggie story

Why be sorry for posting Alan, this is what makes us appreciate the good people and hate the bad ones.
