yes really, if the two doors are identical, either should fit either fridge, so if your old one fits that fridge without modification, then the new one should fit the fridge in BA without modifications.

Griff, you can check it for fit, take the door off and if your old door fits that fridge, then the new door will fit the one in BA.

I had a VW variant, basically an estate form of beetle, air cooled 2.0 litre engine, light as a feather at the front. in snow it would do anything - but steer, you had to dab the brakes to get steering, so a bag of cement in the boot (at the front ) helped, I once went out to meet up with some friends, on a snowy day, taking the short cross country route, at the top of one particularly steep hill i was flagged down by a local, who asked me if I had just come up the hill, yes i replied, why, because even the landrovers havent made it up today, just tractors was the answer, of course, going down the other side was interesting, plenty of braking to get the front round the corners.

looking at somerleyton, there are trees and the signal post are just by the station, one is shown by station cottages on my snippet above, here we go, with the station, this accounts for your 4 signal posts

haddiscoe had a branch in the line where one leg split and crossed the river, the other heading round to reedham.

this 1906 map of somerleyton shows a building near the signal box.

looking at those pictures it is apparent from the deck levels that the water levels were lower back then (when those pictures were taken, and over the past few years there have been occasions when water levels have been low once more, during long dry spells. the big question is of course why water levels are higher now, lack of dredging some will say, others the bure hump, and then you have rising sea levels, wetter summers due no doubt to climate change, or maybe a combination of all of the above with some other random factors thrown in for good measure. yet look at the attached image from http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?MNF8525-Heigham-Bridge&Index=7853&RecordCount=57339&SessionID=36eaaeff-1d4a-4174-899c-3d09c1b57da9 its not dated, but as a black and white image must date back a while, can you honestly say (looking at the clearance of the side arches), that this is much different from today its often quoted that boats that could get through in the 80's no longer can, and this is cited as showing how the river levels have canged, but look at the sea level data for the 1980's and you will see there is a dip in the graphs for that decade, i ask myself were the clearances in the decade from our youth when we remember all these boats going through some kind of anomoly, from a period where there was unusually low water? or was this just another factor we have to allow for. As for Marthams boats, they were built, some 60 or 70 years ago specifically to be able to passage under the bridge, they still do all get through the bridge most of the time (it is believed there was a template of the bridge that was used during the build to ensure they cleared). water levels may have risen, but the fact is those 70 year old boats still fit under the bridge, surely if the river levels have risen so much in the intervening time, they would no longer fit, i believe they all fit through as long as there is a 6 foot clearance, why would they not have built them taller if there had regularly been 6 foot 9" at the bridge. its a fascinating subject to look into thats for sure.

call me suspicious, but they can get your IP address etc, I dont share my passwords with anyone, which doesnt mean they cannot be compromised.

if i wanted to gather passwords for illicit purposes i would set up a website to check the integrity of passwords.

oh that was an easy one to spot, just had an email from 'Amanozn' telling me my account was being suspended, sure it is. then a text from HMRC saying I needed to click here to get my 2020 refund. (not that i can click a link in my basic phones sms.

reading about the toxicity to aquatic life - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4651417/ it states the toxic level of sodium laureth sulphites to be 1-12mg per litre, i am thinking that you would need to pump an awfully large amount into the broads to achieve this. in fact if you check the ecover washing up liquid previously mentioned, this contains a similar chemical sodium lauryl sulfate with a toxicity rated at 1-13.9mg/litre. the main point is that both of these chemical biodegrade easily, and the quantity that you would be putting into the broads is negligible in terms of mg/litre. other detergent based products are probably far more toxic comparatively. that said we should be working towards all new boats having grey waste tanks, but i feel there is no need to get to the point of trying to retro fit grey tanks into old boats just yet, after all there are still a few boats allowed to discharge black waste into the broads to sort out first. I do however try to make full use of shoreside facilities where possible, which minimises the impact on the environment, consider also that water rail has no shower (or even hot water system) this sort of also minimises the impact i personally have. Actually this has spurred me to further research and it appears that sodium laureth sulphites are one of the active ingredients in fairy liquid, at a level up to 30%, so one does have to wonder if there are any 'safe' washing up liquids or soaps out there for use on a boat. i know you just go with what seems safe, you get an eco brand and assume thats better, because it says eco on it. reading the COSHH data sheet on ecover washing up liquid it does rate the aquatic toxicity as 'not considered harmful to aquatic organisms. so where does that leave us.

I generally use ecover washing up liquid if I can get it (they dont sell it at lathams from what i remember), and bar soap generally or sometimes a lush (brand) shower gel, which is made from all natural products (though it must incorporate ground up bank notes or gold particles by the price).

best place for good straight timber is ikeas sin bin where they sell off allthe odd bits with things missing, apart from sometimes getting the timber thats been made up with lots of smaller buts finger jointed and glued together (every bit as strong as solid timber) its dirt cheap compared to timber from the timber yard, just needs a bit of imagination when looking.

does it matter so much if its solid timber and looks nice varnished it will be useful somewhere.

dont worry steve the flood barrier at haven would catch any that were in danger of being washed out to sea.

it was always acle bridge for me, nearly at Marthams.

is that so you can relax in front of the fire with your feet up?

I just love it when I get one with the microsoft scam, telling me there is a problem with my computer, first I ask them which one, then when they say the one I am using at the moment, so again I say which one, I have 4 computers running in active use at this moment (actually I have 8 running) then i let him progress a bit further, leading him along a bit, then he tells me to click this and tell him the value (its a standard thing that returns a specific value, except mine doesnt, this puzzles him, then i drop the bombshell, and tell him, well no it wouldnt be, as I am running Linux, not microsoft, if this doesnt phase him, I will inform him that the trace I have on his location is nearly complete and that I will be passing the data on to the fbi, this usually has them hanging up and never have I had the same lot try and contact me again as I am sure they flag my number as not one to call. if i am lucky this will have kept him on the line for nearly 20 minutes.

how about repton

well lets call it viking boats, we will have a good selection of hybrid boats sails plus oars, boats, a handful of Snekke, another handful of Drekkar a Skeid or two, a selection of Knarr and a Byrding. we will run it as a fitness building holiday, with lots of rowing and a bit of sailing, with a day of raiding in between just for a change. the biggest issue I see is dropping the mast to get under the bridges, possible with the large crews that will be needed, luggage stowage will provide the seating at the oars, and at night the sail will be used to shelter the communal crew area.

hadnt you noticed he has a boating outfit as well as the coat he is wearing on the motorcycle.

ah so a MOT, A BSS and an air worthiness certificate then
