  1. Hi Alison Hope you have many hours of pleasure on Dungraftin as I know your dad did.
  2. MM if evacuation is necessary don't forget the order of evacuation. Men and Gin first.
  3. If I had been there in Norfolk you could have had another Cleaner and helper. But! Alas, not for another three weeks yet.
  4. Griff Sir. I'll take my hat off to you. Always a man of his word. Thank you for what you are doing for Clive, one of life's true gentlemen. Also to Brother and crew for helping. You may be a Yorshireman with deep pockets but you have very big heart.
  5. That's why you don't see Yorkshiremen in knee length shorts. The pockets hang out the bottom.
  6. That wasn't his, that was the previous owners. MM never used it on there either.
  7. Somerleyton was where my brother and I both went to school. The green was our playground. My brother Now long gone remembers watching Chris Cockrell and his Rover biscuit tin and Hoover motor, flying it across the green. Lord Somerleyton was one of our Governors and we would spend a whole day at the hall. All fed and watered, hours in the maze. (well most did my "girl friend" of the time from 2 doors away, her dad was a gardener there and knew the code for which way to turn at each junction). Great times. possibly one of my greatest memories of childhood.
  8. Not a video but explained here https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-sq5-mki-8r-discussion-129/diy-headlights-removal-2863279/
  9. Would have been about three months old on my first trip. Having a godfather who worked at Little Ships OB helped. Also being brought up 2 miles from St Olaves may have helped too. Also being best friends with Archie Peace's (he of Albatross boats) two sons.
  10. To save a community of stiff necks
  11. What No Lifetime Warranty?
  12. Cor blast Bor thas a blast from the past. Remember watching them from near St Olaves stores and my mates fathers place was just up from them Archie Peaces Albatross marine. Only find one photo on flikr https://www.flickr.com/photos/20194747@N00/4297688506 And one mention in 1966 on Broadland Memories https://www.broadlandmemories.co.uk/1960shistory.html
  13. Only if the rearview mirror is not still on makeup settings Mouldy is exactly what my father taught me when I first started driving but I think he put it more succinctly. " Just remember son, everyone else on the road is an idiot just treat them that way"
  14. My old car had a whine to it. Always when my Ex Wife was in it.
  15. He'll still be walking around with his head held low into his chest. Muttering the Yorkshire chant of "Ow Much" at the lingering thought of the cost of Christmas. Usually wears off by about November.
  16. Always remember them as Timothy Whites and Taylors. But that's part of my Northern upbringing.
  17. 32 or 40 foot boat 1 night March or July £10.00 2 nights March or July £15.00
  18. Be aware that the ceremony starts at 11 am, but ordinary traffic is not expected to be able to use the bridge until after 3 pm.
  19. Ah! But the Cowbelle Cheese would have more amperage tolerance once it dried out.
  20. And having seen MM's incriminating photo's. I can avow to that.
  21. But it's not even an historic building. It was built in the 1920s, in an Arts and crafts style. And is not a listed building.
  22. As the article said the availability of 1. a Thatcher (it's a dying trade I'm afraid) 2 Availability of Norfolk Reed Or any reed in fact is in short supply and would have to wait for three years, just to get the extension thatched. I have a friend who hires out one of her barns to a thatcher and was chatting to him out of interest as my uncle was a thatcher in Suffolk. He told me that even if he could buy reed to thatch, the price of it is so prohibitive that customers baulk at the cost. His main Thatching material now is long-stalked straw. But this is getting to be in shorter and shorter supply, year on year as farmers are going for more yield from shorter stalked varieties.
  23. As others have said I never met Ian. But, It was almost like I had. His life was an open book. I will miss reading his next chapter. My condolences to Marina. Alan and all of the family. Please keep us up to date with the arrangements Alan.
  24. Alan to you your Mum, Sister and family No decision about a family member is easy. Having had those choices to make. My heart goes out to you. Do the right thing for your Dad My thoughts are with you all.
