Can't argue with that, The bloke and his ilk are an absolute anathema.

Is that why so many dead fish float upside down? They all have dry-suits on and we just don't know it!

I wish it were that easy! Talking had worked in the past then, for whatever reason, the mutual understanding/co-operation all turned sour. In some cases friendships are clearly not for ever.

It wouldn't surprise me, Hoseasons does appear to have forgotten its roots and I suspect that both yards are big enough to fend for themselves, even if they do link up with other yards.

I rather suspect that you and I are not alone in our thoughts on this one. I just hope that my wife has arrived at the right diagnosis & conclusion after what has been a stressful journey. I do have faith in the latest diagnosis if only because of the reactions of the team that most recently saw her.

I'm in the process of recording the lengthening litany of errors that have developed regarding my wife's condition, including Glaucoma, as a result of phone consultations and the very obvious conclusion that some doctors don't read a patients notes. My number three is a consulting pharmacist and I have pointed this out to her, she was horrified but it is an obvious conclusion.

If recreation is allowed then so be it, for many of us our boating is our recreation. Just the question of unnecessary journeys.

I have never before thought of you as an anarchist! Best park your car around the corner!

Common sense & discretion would seen to me to be the answer. We are allowed to go fishing and fishing on the Broads is so often from a boat. It would be wrong to abuse that privilege but it would be understandable that an angler would wish to fish their local broad for example. Recreation covers a multitude of sins, interpret it as you will. I am not convinced that a journey from Sheffield to Stalham in order to go fishing, for example, would be within the spirit of the guidelines!

Young Jim.

Your dog will only eat Tesco own label dog food, sorted! Does the Co-op sell petrol?

I suppose that I could go shopping by boat! There's a handy Lidl at Beccles, only a minute or two's walk from the Yacht Station.

Unlimited exercise, walk here! Mind you, the pubs will be closed

Boating?????? "Outdoor exercise and recreation encouraged and is unlimited - only with your household/bubble, on your own or with one other person from a different household (golf is not allowed)"

Part of the problem might be Covid 19, having to stay at home more. It might also be retirement, having to stay at home more. Either is a new chapter just on its own but together it becomes a whole new book.

Others including humans? Let us not forget their annoying boats too.

There are those that consider Packham to be a god, I am not one of them. More like a dangerous man, in my opinion, as he panders to the gullible.

And a dollop of cannabis resin perhaps!

Strangely enough I have made more friends and met more new acquaintances over the last few months than i have for a long time. Covid 19 hasn't been all bad but perhaps it hasn't brought everyone closer.

Motor Boater, that is exactly the type of information that I was hoping for, a BIG thank you. Will it be worth the effort, I won't know until I've done it, but if that's what it takes then so be it, annoying though.

Re big boats and large crews, it's long been said that you quickly find out who really are your friends after a week in close contact on a boat.

I've had scores of neigbours over the years. Never a problem before so yes, I agree, nuisance neighbours are a rarity.

That has happened and has been reported and logged. I am not easily rattled but I was on this occasion. Yes, Vaughan, there is a story, a long one, but it's not for here, sorry! Grendall, wise words, indeed, I could become the neighbour from hell but that is not my wish. It's a long story but there we go. It could and should have been easy to sort but that has not happened. Like you I am generally a pretty easy going sort of fellow but there is a limit. It's not in my nature to throw the first punch so to speak. Sam, I could indeed move but it's my little piece of heaven on earth! It boarders the Broads . . . . . . . . . . I had hoped for an easy answer but despite Googling etc I have yet to find it, I had rather hoped that one of you had some practical experience regarding this altogether unfortunate topic. Anyway, thanks for the responses.

Do any of you good folk have any experience of dealing with the problem of a neighbour from hell? I can't be the only one! Other than threats of physical assault it doesn't appear to be a police matter, understandable, but has anyone on the forum had success in dealing with the problem via other agencies?
