  1. you need a volvo griff, pull one pin, remove headlight 10 seconds- now changing the marker light bulb- thats buried about 6" inside the headlight unit and takes about 30 minutes.
  2. being made in the Royal Navy, well my dad was too and he is now in his 90's, though he will be the first to admit that most parts are now defective or not fully functional, he has managed to let the NHS deal with most repairs, and they are keeping him going, with a bit of extra bracing here and there, and replacement headlight lenses. Mum wasnt made in the RN and she is a couple of years older than Dad, but has had NHS undercarriage repairs with a main ball joint replacement. She too is still going though with reduced mobility nowadays, she can still get around the house, though everything is a handhold.
  3. I have just pinned both this thread and the other spring meet thread so they are easier to find at the top of theuir respective sections
  4. well thats the holiday from work booked and approved, and the boat booked, so i am looking forward to it.
  5. possibly because I knew exactly what she meant
  6. it has the look of a delight, but the back deck is curved not flat and I dont see the steering quadrant that a delight would have on the back deck.
  7. Isnt that where the electric post is though, so understandable if they wanted an electric hookup.
  8. already read that one, very reminiscent of a loofa.
  9. perhaps- just maybe if the Broads Authority are no longer sending letters and using emails instead it could make sense. Otherwise it just seems to be petty vindictiveness.. and to give no explanation why lacks common courtesy. I do admit i snorted into my coffee when I read "the two organisations share many common aims - primarily the desire to promote the Broads as a premier destination for sailing and boating." Really? since when have the broads Authority displayed the desire to promote the broads for sailing and boating, it always seems they want rid of all the pesky boaters.
  10. I have heard of bog oak too.
  11. not sure- lets find it on a map. well it seems most are cafes, there is one (an estate agent) that is temporarily closed, near the river thames- so the answer has to be - maybe
  12. At Alkham where we hold our Astronomy meetings they have been pumping into tankers and taking the water away since early december, its an operation that has been running 24/7 since they started, at first they had several tankers and were filling up as fast as possible then taking elsewhere to empty (its a low point in the valley so nowhere lower to pump to) now they just have 2 tankers, still taking it turn and turn about to fill up and empty elsewghere, unfortunately this operation blocks over half of the parking at the village hall, making it more difficult.
  13. small, round, flat and full of ducks, with the odd shopping trolley handle poking out of the water?
