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.

I for one, hope that the Forum can concentrate on The Norfolk Broads and leave discussions relating to this virus elsewhere.
Regretfully Covid 19 does relate to the Broads, whether it be holidays or the lives of those of us who live here.

This is old news and we're past Christmas.
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.

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!

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!!

Scampi in a basket, or skate off a slate. From planks of wood to miniature deep fry baskets. It would seem there is no end to the ingenious ways the catering industry will try to avoid the use of "plates".
Can anybody tell me why this is?
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?

Does anybody still order Prawn Cocktail when eating out?
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

Very true Paul.Think the idiots that breck the rules should visit, ICUs to see the affect this virus has on people.
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.

Failing to understand why drivers aren`t tested for Covid then allowed into France if clear. Also failing to understand why France say the ports are shut for 48hr, where does the 48hr come into things?
The Hundred Year War was never over!

Does anyone know if the Darkness ever made a tribute to the Broads?
Ed, their original drummer, made a touching tribute to the 'broads' of Norwich!

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?

Personally I'm no fan of either of them, nevertheless may the best man win!
