Following the success of the DVLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I know this is the mail and they are on par with the EDP for accuracy but no smoke as they say: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3335816/End-paper-disc-sees-car-tax-evasion-soar-Number-cases-drivers-dodging-annual-payment-doubled-past-year.html

What a lot of green agricultural land to build on either side of it. I think the character of those areas will change forever.

They are designed to float, so must be a bit nautical

I suppose another great British Institution and home of so many memorable tournaments will become the exclusive preserve of Chinese Billionaires and Russian Mafia.

Talking golf, did anyone see that following the buyout of Wentworth by a Chinese, Hong Kong based consortium the members have to reapply for membership @ wait for it £100K joining fee. I hope everyone tells them to stuff it and leaves them holding £135m of debt.

Go Outdoors, the camping shop are doing the above from £46 to £48. That is a saving of £20. I swear by Tilleys so I now have an additional wide brim airflow and an outback. It is years since they were so cheap.

Got an e mail to say don't fit this afternoon.

Sorry to hear that Iain. Yes it does make you wonder if electrically adjustable, heated and folding are really that necessary when you break one and get the bill. Or worse, some slime bag does it for you.

The parts of this show presented by Michael Buerk are very well done. The M. Lipman and L. Lamb are a bit dumbed down for my taste.

Maybe they will buy them as they own, or will own everthing else and turn it into a Carp Farm.

Sounds a good product. But a serious question, what is it's fire rating? Is the plastic fully retarded?

Thanks Peter, excellent download to have as you drive around.

Before the internet was widely available to all, the EDP was excellent on a Friday for it's property pages, if you were house hunting. With Rightmove, Zoopla etc. I often wonder what is it's use? You are not allowed to pack fish & chips in it these days.

I think it is called entertainment. It is supposed to entertain hundreds of thousands who have never been to any of the destinations or even have any desire to do so. You can't look at it like a documentary. Yes, there were many 7mph stretches back then.

Very easy to say Marshman, when if like me, you are sat in a quiet North Norfolk village. Not so easy if your hard earned home is forever to be blighted, you peaceful retirement ruined, or your plans to bring up your young family in a rural setting in tatters.

We don't actually "GO" Monday to Friday in Norfolk in Winter as most are closed Sept to Easter. You can attend at weekends and half term though. Overstrand was packed over the Christmas holidays as the weather was beautiful 14C. Were the conveniences open? NO.

From a tourism point of view Overstrand and Wells Quay are far more important. Overstrand has a popular holiday beach and NO other facilities. Wells has two others to my knowledge but both are a long way from the popular quay area with its Fish & chips etc. The beach toilets being a mile away Blo"dy nonsense, I feel a letter to Norman Lamb coming on.

The problem with the scheme is it is like an MOT, condition at a moment in time. We must have all seen the pre-inspection preparation, I certainly have. Tailgate open seats down to accommodate the second outboard tank, the spare gas bottle that does not fit in the locker, the portable gas heater, the generator with its built in petrol tank and the tender's outboard stowed under the cockpit sole with it's tank not forgetting the gas bbq. And yes why is a boat safe for it's first 28 days on the water? Don't get that one especially if it has been bounced about on a trailer for a couple of hundred miles. I am not saying it is a bad thing but it needs renaming along the lines of mechanical, gas and electrical install test. Otherwise it indicates a boat is safe and seaworthy which is just not the case.

If your device (say tablet) has bluetooth you can use certain smartphones to allow the tablet to access your 4G via your provider.

I have to admit that I never realised how much memory music takes. I did the same with a Kindle. Never thought about the benefit of cordless charging from the waterproofing front but I will follow your advice. I think I read that the Z4 tablet and Z5 phone dont have the covers but are still fine for 30 minutes to 1·5m

Forgot to say again. Don't just blame the hire fleets for this problem. There are plenty of private ones guilty as well. Although often boats outed by the hire companies I admit.

Agree with Robin re Broadsman. Last year one passed us going downstream near Acle. It was admittedly flat out but it was making a hell of a racket. We both said that it was the next generation of connoisseur in the making!

Some years ago it was an X type that he got out of to take guests on Ra when it was at Barton.

Forgot to say. You would not willingly stand by a truck or bus exhaust for a couple of hours or more so why should you be subjected to carcinogenic atmospherics at a mooring because you probably can't go elsewhere.

Wonderful news, anything that limits this antisocial nuisance is welcome. I would not worry so much about CO as it would not normally build up once out of the exhaust but the diesel soot particles from unfiltered engines are highly cancer forming and very dangerous to anyone with respiratory problems.
