Apparently this is the story: https://drivetribe.com/p/why-jeremy-punched-piers-KoFZugCLT_-NTQsmWmNAcQ?iid=cpo0BABjR6SK4pzWqWowRg Personally I'm no fan of either of them, nevertheless may the best man win!

Sadly, our dialect is continuously under attack, whether from 'forriners' up from Lunnon' or even the radio & TV. It is interesting to read of what we once had, and in some communities still have, but we are fast losing it, regretfully.

We have long endured floods and gales, nothing will change there, the Broads will bounce back from this latest inundation just as it always does! Just how bookings that are usually made over the Christmas holiday period hold up, now, that is a very real concern. Those deposits can come in very handy at this time of the year.

Regretfully Covid 19 does relate to the Broads, whether it be holidays or the lives of those of us who live here.

Agreed but it is also currant and New Years Eve is ahead, hardly time to brush it under the carpet. I have also noticed people on other groups seeking temporary accommodation for the New Year Weekend. I questioned one poster who then suggested that he was coming from one tier four area and going to another and then asked what was the harm in that?

Not strictly Broads nor even Norfolk generally, or North Norfolk in particular, but relevant to us all. https://www.irvinetimes.com/news/national-news/18957930.passengers-packed-trains-london-branded-totally-irresponsible/

Re England, oh dear!

The America's Cup sailing on BBC2, wow, excellent, fascinating TV! Sailing boats approaching 50 m.p.h. makes for exciting viewing. Will the UK win or are they fielding yet another 'Sceptre'?

Agreed, I thoroughly that. On the other hand the numerous ladies in my family seem drawn to this channel! https://www.gemporia.com/en-gb/auction/ Actually even I find it more entertaining than the World at War etc etc. MM is entirely right regarding Christmas TV but obviously he hasn't found the joy of the shopping channels!!

Rightly or wrongly I've always regarded the use of non standard tableware as pretentious nonsense, in line with boutique hotels and restaurants in particular. Wouldn't mind so much if the waiter gave me a choice, "warped, weathered plank, reclaimed roof tile or civilised dinner plate, sir?

You need taking in hand!

Will B&Q be open, what with the latest regs?

Along with scampi & chips or chicken & chips, served in a basket and washed down with a pint of Double Diamond or Red Barrel! Joking aside I had a prawn cocktail on Sunday and very good it was too. first one for a very long time

They also need to consider the effect on NHS staff, many whom are working seven days on the trot, working through their holidays and days off and working extended shifts, covering for staff who have caught Covid 19 or are in isolation. As one NHS person told me, working until it hurts.

A TV on a boat! Whatever next, a micro-wave?

Good fishing spot!

Has it ever ended?

One would certainly hope not!

The Hundred Year War was never over!

Ed, their original drummer, made a touching tribute to the 'broads' of Norwich!

Best not comment!

If play lists are anything to go by then I know that at least one of you has an appalling taste in music but then I also know that several of you enjoy traditional folk music, which, in my self opinionated judgement, is not appalling! One CD out there, used to be and maybe is still available from the Norfolk Wherry Trust, is called 'Brighton's Best', sensibly all wherry related and is also available from this link: http://www.quanting.co.uk/launched.htm Apart from one dismal dirge it's all good stuff! Best enjoyed with several pints of Adnam's Broadside or Woodforde's Nelson with maybe a tot or two of Woods Rum to follow.

I can just picture a 'chimbly', in Donny United colours, sticking out of the roof of BA! Perhaps nuclear is the future?
