There are going to be delays this Sunday if you are heading Norwich / Wroxham due to a cycle event
-
What they should have done, and still could, is have a proper slip road on some of the junctions. Take the Wroxham road roundabout or the Rackheath one from Norwich direction. Every afternoon there are long tailbacks - up to 20 mins it's taken me. ( When they remodelled the junctions, it got worse ) If people going left at both these junctions could 'slip' onto the road ( as happens at the airport ) it would reduce congestion on the roundabout which would hopefully reduce incidents and have people joining at appropriate speed / not 'leaping out'

Looks like those cameras caught some live action

For those who don't have the pleasure of using this road daily, such is almost normal

Talking about cameras, this morning they have set up a camera on each exit of the Wroxham Rd NDR round about.
What type of cameras? - Monitoring or speed? Seems strange they would put a speed camera on the exit of a roundabout
There is also a camera on each exit of all side roads on the Wroxham road toward Wroxham itself from the NDR.
Again what type please? Are these monitoring cameras too or speed ones?
I use the NDR from the Lenwade turnoff from the A47 right through to the Wroxham Rd now, both ways each time I'm visiting the Broads, never had a problem - Yet !
P.S - It's a blast on the Mighty Tiger

They put similar ones up on the NDR roundabouts before they re-jigged the markings etc. I think they are video cameras used to monitor traffic behaviour to assist planning changes

perhaps if they left them there others would see the roundabout?

I thought that, or possibly Rollesby

Just checking
So back to where I started the thread, I 'm surprised how effective both my new CO detector is AND how well the cooker responded to a ( not illegal ) service

The relevant phrase from The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) (Amendment) Regulations 2018 2(5)(c) is ' nothing in these regulations shall apply to.... ' private leisure craft

I suspect you might be thinking of the Radar Museum but that is still open I think!
No - there was a control tower museum there back in the 90's - I visited. They also had a fuselage portion of something outside, Tempest or similar I think

Yep - bottle followed by bubble tester. New CO alarm that showed potential problems I was unaware of and have now rectified. As to competence, ex RAF engineer with Service qualifications for high pressure oxygen / nitrogen systems including cryogenic gases

Couple of the above comments have had me researching the rules again, and unless I'm missing something there is no legal reason I cannot perform gas work on my own private leisure craft. I know this certainly was the case, so if anyone can point to a piece of legislation saying otherwise i'd appreciate seeing it.

I recently changed the old 'it'll make a noise before it kills you' type to one with a digital display. My old Flavel two burner was taking it up to around 55 ppm indicated whilst making a cup of tea. Now I could see the figure I got more anxious ( although still low enough for several hours exposure ) and stripped my spare cooker in the garage of it's jets and burners, serviced / cleaned them, and swapped them over.
Reading now - ZERO

Sounds obvious but make sure you have room to perform a full 360 swing around the mudweight without risking hitting anything or anyone else - wind is a fickle mistress

Illegal mods should be crushed also, why aren’t plod doing something or do they figure whilst revving and doughnutting there not robbing or stabbing someone?
Define illegal mod ....
technically my headlights are illegal as I fitted Xenons a few years ago, together with self levelling shocks and headlight washers. All as per regs at the time and the same AS BUILT on some variants of the same car.
Last year they changed the law ( as a response to Chavs mainly ) - so unless MY car had them as standard they can't be fitted. Instead I have to drive with inferior, less safe, illumination

There used be a pub in Essex, where a chain went into a water tank/butt, and a sign saying 'do not disturb the water otter'
When pulled up came a kettle...

Having been cut up once too often at the weekend on the NDR ( it was also the V sign out the window when I leant on the horn ) I now have a dash cam.
The next one who does it will have their details forwarded to the Police

Yes, I too have enjoyed the Easter weekend and didn't manage to get hit once which is a bonus as usually, we manage to get some damage on the northern Broads in the silly season which basically has just begun, I have noticed since the re-profiling of banks although we have lost a lot of the wild Moorings, I think it would be quite easy to establish others but with reeds instead of grass I have my eye on a few sites, I will keep you posted, regards Ted
You're moored pretty much opposite me there -)

Gritter's just gone through the village ( Barton Turf ) Happy Easter !

Pet waste in wheelie bins needs to be double bagged - so if it's in a poo bag, then dropped in a big black bag it's compliant.
Issue here is some charming individual who just deposits their poo bags in the wheelie bins as they walk round the village, and the bin collection then won't touch them - grrr !
