  1. i will investigate the permissions and see if it is possible.
  2. i am in a similar circumstance for different reasons, I would love an electric vehicle, but my daily commute is 124 miles which is right at the extreme end of most ev ranges, when I travel to the broads its above the range of an electric vehicle without a long charging stop half way, when I do use the car, most trips are 50 miles plus, a recent trip to training was canterbury to leeds, well out of the range of electric vehicles at present. where i work there are no electric charging facilities, so charging through the day is not possible, so for my 33,000 miles a year travel, electric is not an option, thus i am currently using a diesel car, I dont buy new, so its an older car, maybe not quite as clean as a modern car, but to my mind buying new every 3 yeaars is not a green option when a car has to be scrapped for nearly every new vehicle on the road.i would rather spread the scrapping carbon cost over as many years as i can get out of a car. (currently on 197,000 miles)
  3. it would probably be more accurate to say that any houses connected to the gas grid will be built to a standard that would ensble easy changeover to hydrogen, as that is the way they are looking with the gas network. the big issue going all electric is as you say finding the extra power, this can be somewhat mitigated by higher insulation standards and solar roofing to reduce the dependency upon external resources. as with everything installing these systems in a new build is far more efficient than retro fitting them. on the subject of hydrogen, using that as a fuel either directly or in a fuel cell would be the way to go with propulsion. but then the infrastructure needs to be in place before people will change.
  4. did you not notice the smiley,
  5. and meanwhile I would remind you of the stickied "read this before posting" which states 'Do not stray from the topic discussed.' amongst other things. which now applies.
  6. "The United Kingdom is a signatory to various international obligations which secure freedom of expression. Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights maintains that "everyone has the right to freedom of expression" and that that right may only be qualified in narrowly limited circumstances. Those circumstances include national security, public safety, the protection of morals, and the protection of the reputation or rights of others".
  7. All three threads have been moved here JM back in the public domain, moving them into the members area was only a temporary measure while we were debating their fate.
  8. we had to do something, so after some debate we decided a new section just for these types of discussions was in order.
  9. "Place a link to the FULL document quoted in Speakers' Corner discussions and debates stating Title of the document Author of the document Date the document was published A very brief description of the content of the document When referring to a document in Speakers' Corner please link to the entry in the 'Library' thread. Members wishing to read or download the original document may do so from the original source. Please note posts not linking to documents will be removed."
  10. We (the team) Have created a new section for you called Speakers Corner, Here is where all the great broads debates should now occur. We have added a set of guidance notes regarding this section, and the moderators will keep a careful eye on posts here to ensure they do not stray from the guidance in the pinned post at the head of this topic.
  11. Read this before you post! This section of the forum is dedicated to the open discussion and debate of subjects relating to the present and future stewardship of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. This area has been specifically set up to enable moderation of these threads to be simpler, quicker and fair to all participants and to provide better access to the important information the threads contain. In order to facilitate these changes please note the additional guidance for posting in this section. The views expressed in threads contained in this section are NOT the views of the NBN organisation or management team. Please note this forum is subject to UK legislation, members have 'freedom of expression' not 'freedom of speech'. There is an important difference. Posts are subject to the UK defamation legislation. Moderators will adhere strictly to the NBN Terms of Service (ToS) with the following additions... General Guidance For Posting Keep it civil. Keep it factual. Support your argument. If you refer to a document make sure you list that document in the 'library thread' and link to that entry in your post so that everyone has access to the full document. Keep it relevant Do not stray from the topic discussed. Avoid titling a thread for the sake of drama. Keep it constructive
  12. one of those representatives is a member though, so in essence MM is correct.
  13. true, the problem is usually finding it
  14. try manually feeding a sheet of paper through the path where the paper normally passes, you will usually find any obstruction and sometimes it will be pushed out as you push the paper through.
  15. do we have on record where the useage of the term Broads national Park for marketing purposes only is allowed? or has that been inferred from the above.
  16. I can almost guarantee something is blocking the path the paper takes, or a roller isnt doing its job properly
  17. normally what you find is one paper jams, then in removing it a piece tears off, thus repeating the problem
  18. look for a tiny torn corner of paper stuck somewhere in the paper path, its usually either that or the rubber rollers need cleaning as they are clogged with paper dust and gone slick, we usually have to get the engineer in about once a year to clear our work photocopier when this happens. help page for 2 side paper jams here - https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=dcp9020cdw_eu&ftype3=1969&faqid=faq00000310_014 it appears that the printer might use the space under the paper tray when it turns the page over, so make sure there is nothing blocking this area
  19. I did notice on my way out that my dinghy had rearranged itself (in a 12 foot square area of garden sheltered by 6 foot hedges all round, and that the bottom left side of my windscreen has acquired a crack, though not unsurprising with wheelie bins strewn everywhere along the road.
  20. apparently its a shared space with equal rights for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, and is unsigned https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-16137988 clearly intimates that pedestrians dont feel safe with the arrangement and guess what it was an architects idea pedestrians and drivers interacting and negotiating rights of way, I wonder who ever thought that would work, that makes the pavements crossing over the juctions seem insignificant as both clearly dont make the right of way clear for anyone, which surely makes a mockery of the highway code.
  21. ah but its not allocated as a zebra crossing - its something like a combined pedestrian / vehicle area
  22. down south here we has a breezy night monday night, and a calm morning, then breezy yesterday afternoon and most of the night.
  23. yes we do seem to be wandering as far as the other end of the broads, At least if the BA do take over the management of the staithe at stalham, this will bring some consistency to the ownership and responsibilities of managing the staithe
  24. I believe their boundary follows that of the flood plains - eg from the government flood risk map - https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/map
  25. local to me in the nearby town of Ashford they have an area of road, that is designated as pedestrian and vehicle access, pedestrians dont know when they have right of way, neither do the cars, and best of all, the only signs to tell you anything just say its a 20 zone, and yes the pedestrian crossings are just deliniated by slightly different color bricks
