I really don't understand this passion for cherished number-plates. By and large they are completely meaningless to the majority of us. Okay, so one or two are clever and one or two are funny but other than that I really fail to see the attraction. Still, each to their own, great for the sellers. I once, luckily, bought an old banger for lugging garden waste & boating bits around, it had a number plate beginning with ALF so obviously the car was affectionately known as Alf. Cost me a ton, sold it for eight times that when it died, I may not understand the passion but I sure as heck appreciated it at the time!

. . . . . . . . not before drinking up time is over.

Will we now return to buying our diesel by the gallon rather than the litre, or rope by the fathom rather than a metre?

Could this be our Robin?

Iain, the fenders should be blue and hanging on by bits of rope and string!

In that case perhaps Robin should have a Landrover Bow-fender?

Perhaps there was a bit more bravado in those halcyon days of my youth. My father back then owned the old Maltings buildings and my brother & his family were watching the display from one of the roofs, they were quite adamant that they were looking down on the aircraft as they flew along the Broad. Clive Ricko's nice carbon mast would certainly have been in the way!

That one used to be in Norwich for a number of years. I hope it doesn't refer to his driving ability, or lack there of!

Many years ago the Red Arrows performed at Oulton Broad and back then flew at much lower levels than they do nowadays. At that time I had the Waveney Inn at Burgh St Peter and the Arrows used the pub as a line up point before blasting across the marshes at a very low level before their dramatic appearance over the Broad. After their first appearance they later drove over to the pub to apologise for disturbing us, very thoughtful bunch of people. Don't expect it had anything to do with the beer! Anyway, the following year they really announced their arrival, big time! In they came, close astern of each other, one after the other they arrived at the pub and went vertical, presumably with after-burners on, really shaking the pub up as they went skyward. Inevitably they returned in the evening, once again to apologise and to enjoy a repeat quaffing session. Later one of the Arrows nicked the top of a yacht's mast down in Pool Harbour and, subsequently, such low level performances came to an end. Shame really, it really was quite something to watch them streaking really low across the marshes, even if we were well doused in paraffin exhaust. Seriously, they were that low the reeds used to be flattened!

Wellie fun, enjoy!!

I'm told that that is her preferred title. Perhaps we should refer to her as Granddad Spokesperson.

Even a cheap Merlot can be passable, just, but seriously would anyone actually pay £46.40 for such a pub style meal? At £25.00 it's probably about right, especially when you consider that fish & chips at most pubs is a tenner and that's without wine. Looks nice!

See: A disgorger.

Got to say that however well intended these people are I really do think that they are wasting their time because, if I believe what I'm told, there is already a willing investor with adequate money and suitable friends in high places.

That's looking smart! When it's hot add some turps to the varnish, in my experience that helps. I watched Ardea being varnished with rollers which was then laid with a brush, that really speeds things up!

Danny, no shame in 10 out of 12, the EDP had two errors too!

Maybe the others could have an extra half a star each, mustn't neglect them!

Spot on, Iain, A Scotsman telling all you Norfolk lads & lasses, what are you like? Iain, how come that you are only a two star moderator? That begs two questions, do you deserve more or do we deserve better? Personally I'd suggest it's the first and five stars would be a more just reward!

Here's a strong clue, the first picture of the lifeboat at Acle and Acle being where, as if none of you know!?

Almost there, Bill, but the error is not in the questions.

The Blyth is within the EDP circulation region but if it is a mistake then it's one of two, the other being a question of identity.

The first time I used a Slammo I thought 'no way' but, surprise surprise, it's blessed brilliant, even on very small and greedy perch.

That's worrying! Backs to the wall folk!
