First and foremost I don't want the virus and if I don't have the virus, I can't pass it on.
How can you know whether someone has the virus or not? How can you be sure that you don't have the virus, at least in its early stages?
My number three daughter is a prescribing/administering consultant pharmacist working on the Covid Ward of a local hospital. My wife is a clinically, extremely vulnerable person. Whilst my daughter is constantly monitored for Covid she is still insistent that our households remain apart. There remains a risk, plain and simple.

Complacency of people living in low risk areas is ultimately what leads to the eventual spread in those areas as well.
Nevertheless there is a greater risk to those in low risk areas if carriers from high risk areas make a visit. If the virus is not present then it can not infect people.

If it's that good then why the need to discount the price by 50%? First red flag.
Too good to be true reviews, second red flag.
I'll wait until Robin, London Rascal, buys and reviews the product

Dont see why they stopped the boating holidays and the holiday cottages.
I suspect that if the previous hirers had had Covid then they might leave a residue that could take up to 72hrs to totally dissipate.
Beyond that it is claimed the virus travels across households that are in close contact with each other, as would be the case within a boat.
Do we need people from a high rate of infection area coming to stay in a low rate area?

There appears to be no change as to what you can do on the Lakes - same rules, different interpretation I guess.
A question of agenda perhaps?

in case you meet a mud wherry carrying dredgings from Horsey to Hickling
Rather than carting it all that way why not spread it on the bank at Horsey or use it to reinstate the island?

Normally you would only see a yellow buoy indicating a wildlife refuge which is very different to the navigation being closed temporarily!
Plus that red notice has nothing to do with Plod.

I have a very high regard for our Broads Beat team, they do an excellent job and have a good understanding of Broads issues, top people.

Personally I found that the reduced attendance added to the mood of Remembrance Day. The Queen & the Bishop in the otherwise seemingly empty cathedral was, for me, very moving.
I grew up during the austerity period following the war, sweets were still rationed, my first two bikes were secondhand simply because new ones were virtually unobtainable.
Back in 1964 friends and I took my father's boat across to Holland and Belgium. In Belgium, especially, the natives were attracted to our Red Ensign and almost daily we had young and old visit us in order to relate their wartime experiences and their contempt for the Germans.
Back in Holland lonely individuals would accost us, showing us the camp tattoos on their arms.
My generation grew up in the aftermath of the War, it was all very real. Today's generation can only see the history. They are unable to share the experience.

I always thought it was particularly difficult to close tidal waters - I must be wrong.!!!!!!!
It is indeed difficult. Especially when all advice, apart from that issued by the BA, is that it is entirely permissible. Several boats out on Oulton Broad today, no blue lights or heavy boots!

I have always regarded my Dad as a great man, a man of principle and wisdom. It irked him that being in a reserve occupation that others fought, and died on his behalf. He was able to go to war as a volunteer, Dunkirk & D-Day, but that was a shadow of what others did for our country.
It was a day like to day, calm and cold. Dad's great love was sailing and angling. Seventy or so years ago we were anchored off Lowestoft, fishing for cod. Being a still day we could hear quite plainly the last post being played at Lowestoft's cenotaph. The fishing was good, the mood was nevertheless somber, as befitted the day. My Uncle Jack was onboard, he'd been an unwilling guest of the Japanese, losing many friends both on the battlefield and subsequently as POWs forced to work in Japan's copper mines. Dad too had lost friends, his restaurant being destroyed in a bombing raid, many servicemen died too, wasted lives. Dad always mourned those who died whilst he was earning a living.
Eleven o'clock sharp heads were bowed, those on board were quiet. Both of Dad's rods started bouncing up and down as the cod took his baits. I remember that moment with great fondness, my Dad at his best as he remembered those that had died. Just for that one minute that was all that mattered.

perhaps they will be drummed out of the NP family for being too hasty?
If only! Actually I don't see anything wrong with family membership but of course by now we surely all realise that that was simply a case of getting 'his' foot through the door. If only the real national parks would insist on the Broads abandoning the mythical NP title.

Another big mistake, that was!
It was also a real earner for anyone with a handful of cage traps and a .22 rifle! The winter of '62/'63 was rich pickings as the coypu weren't as fast as yours truly on ice skates.

Although it would appear that DCMS have already clarified that recreational boating is allowed.
The BA had available the same information as did those managing the Lakes and the canals, yet only the one authority chose to interpret as 'no boating', typical, just typical!

The future of the North Rivers bream is in some doubt because of the proposal to dam off Hoveton Great Broad. Tench have always been on the Broads, just that they never take my hook. As for those pesky, nuisance carp, still like looking for a needle in a hay-stack but nevertheless the blessed things are probably breeding. Don't think that they'll oust the bream though.

Many, many years ago I had a summer job with Giles, the cartoonist. Giles was partial to Guinness and besides his drawing board was a Guinness pump. I don't suppose it would be Guinness but I can picture Howard having a beer pump conveniently mounted on the dashboard, throttle on the left, beer pump on the right! Red Barrell or Double Diamond perhaps?

So therefore it makes sense to cancel holidays, we have simply gone round in a circle!
