  1. And buy a 10 year old Clio with a dustbin exhaust and illegally lowered and spaced suspension. No Thanks. I will stick to my collection of Tilleys as befits one of my age and dare I say it intelligence.
  2. Ouch! I rarely wear baseball caps because I find the long peak causes me to do just that.
  3. I always thought the E Type sailed close to the wind, along with many other performance cars of their day.
  4. Do you mean kilometres? We had to drive to Mulhouse twice after we moved to the North Norfolk Coast and that is pretty close to you. I used to clock under 1300 miles. A couple of hundred to Dover and around 430 on the other side. Still hats off to you, a fair old journey for a long weekend. The weather looks as though it will be kind to you all.
  5. I hired a boat from Alphacraft in 2003 to show my late wife The Broads as she had at that time never been to Norfolk and we had decided that the West Country was no longer our retirement destination. Saturday morning I returned their boat to their basin but it was chockabloc. I was directed to a gap about 9ft wide between two boats, as our beam was 12ft 6ins I shouted that I could not get in there. Somewhat in an bad temper the member of staff ran across the boats, jumped into the foredeck well, took the helm from me and literally rammed the other boats apart. We had been boat owners all our lives and had never wittnessed the like.
  6. It is Chris Packham who has mounted legal action against NE issuing "General" licences.
  7. I want to know where and who this legal challenge has come from. Maybe Wildfuzz could throw some light on this? It is the Wildlife Officers who will have to Police it. Good luck to them.
  8. This is very important for those of us who run DIY shoots and protect crops out of season.
  9. VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE. for those of us on DIY shoots
  10. Local to The Broads ASAP Supplies in Beccles are Roca distributors. I am sure they will help you out. Their Tel. No. 01502.716993. I know they were taken over but I am pretty certain they are still on the Industrial Estate.
  11. Why has it got two IBCs on it's roof? This is not a new problem, it should have been tackled long before now.
  12. Somehow attachments got out of order but you will get the jist
  13. It may be inert Peter but if it enters the lungs or other organs the irritation can cause all sorts of problems. I would think blue asbestos fibres were pretty inert!
  14. I wonder what it will be after plastic? But Climate Change might get us first.
  15. The great danger of Micro-Plastic has recently been found to have entered the human food chain and is now not the preserve of fish, marine mammals etc. It is being found in us. The human race has a propensity for self poisoning. My generation born shortly after the WWII seems to have more than our fair share of Cancer. Now I will put my hands up and say we of a certain age, who enjoyed the 60s smoked and drank like gooduns and that has not helped. However how much is down to the food we ingested. DDT spread over the fields, fertilisers and animal medications now all banned to say nothing of the household chemical revolution. A nice breath of Flit anyone.
  16. What beautiful lines that boat had.
  17. But would you call it a Haar or a Fret ??
  18. My 12 week old new boat was hit in 2008 by a Richardson craft. They were very good throughout even putting us under cover whilst the canopy was repaired.
  19. Had to do a screen shot as kept getting message -200. Is this because I rec'd it from my son who is on his way to Norfolk from Australia and he sent it via Whatsapp? Nice stopover if you are travelling from Aus to UK, 5 days sailing, island hopping.
  20. Moon and charter boat last night , Kea Island, Greece.
  21. Although only two or three hundred yards away in Broadsedge that little bay used to be a favourite bow and Stern mud weight for us if we wanted to get away really early without waking others in the marina.
  22. I have edited the photo, I am sure Griff will not mind.
  23. I think that was the "Shed" that was once being towed by some wreck through Wroxham. I saw it a couple of years ago on The Ant, just the Wayford side of Stalham Dyke. Brave chap to tow that if the wind was up as his "Tug" had been re-engined with a very old square type Honda which looked no bigger than a 15hp.
  24. I would think that the BA have neither the manpower or IT resources to move away from what they do without adding a lot of additional admin costs.
