  1. Perhaps the paper needed time to get its facts wrong?

  3. Problem is that they are powered by electricity meaning that in the early hours you press the 'wipe' button, after a quiet, private, pleasingly satisfying pull though, and the whole mooring knows what you have just been doing as the engine or generator indiscretely kicks in as the Rotor Wipe hits maximum r.p.m..
  4. I understand that all hire boats are having their toilets modified over the winter: https://prankpack.com/collections/featured-products/products/roto-wipe-br-standard-size
  5. Ask your MP. Mine is totally useless, a confirmed Poodle, so I hope that you have more joy than I have so far. However, your MP is your starting point. Do you know Jamie Campbell? If you do then have a word with him.
  6. Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Was up in the Black Country the other day and got talking to a Canals Trust person. They don't seem to have the problems on the canals with spoil disposal that the BA does. Seems to me that the BA looks for problems rather than just getting on with the job and doing it.
  7. Riverman, shhhhhhush, you might just be absolutely right about them ferrying spoil silly distances but please don't rouse the minions!

  9. Thought that it was Lidl & Aldi that was pushing Sainsbury, and others, to one side!
  10. Just wet, windy and horrible here at the moment.
  11. I sense an interesting story in the offing.
  12. Hope that Sainsbury made a donation to the Hemsby crew!

  14. Gosh, the size of those frames! Looks that it's coming on just fine.
  15. And here's a resurrected one from your's truly:
  16. This might help, Lori, look at row three:
  17. For those of you unfamiliar with the oozlum bird: which all in all has little to do with ghosts on the Broads but a certain similarity as suggested by Vaughan!
  18. You mean those distant relatives to the short legged 'weather-farquary' tribe?
  19. A friend of mine had a Catfisher, very comfortable cruising boat. Problems came with the mast step loading on the bridge deck exceeding the capability of the build.
  20. The mizzen is stepped forward of the rudder post, simple!
  21. As they say in Norfolk 'that'll put the willies up yer'.
