I've put loads of car parts in the scrap metal over the past few years - have an exhaust to take down shortly

Yes - at the same time as the Wroxham road section is down to one lane.
Great planning - not

I find myself torn with these things. Yes they have their uses and I have absolutely no problem with them being used for constructive purposes, it's the "leisure" flying where I see problems arising.
At the moment they have novelty value and the fascination of watching them perform, but there is a risk that on somewhere like the broads, holiday makers will be wanting to use them as flying cameras. Imagine if all the holiday snaps being taken came with that whining noise. Never mind people running their engines at unsociable hours, half a dozen drones buzzing about at sunset will soon disturb we band of alkies.
Good job a college and I never got our daft idea off the ground of fitting a flight deck on my boat and flying our R/C aircraft off it - even designed the catapult and arrestor gear !

A great place to research the old pubs is :

I'd been going over Irstead Shoals for around 10 years before I walloped the bottom really quite hard, so it took me by surprise.
Going down river ( from Barton ) about a couple of houses short of the moorings
I draw 1 metre, bilge keeled yacht.

£3.64! Pint of mild maybe, you will be pushed to get a decent pint of bitter for that in most places.
Nah - plenty of ale pubs in the city where I pay £3.20

£2.65 down on my 23' aux yacht.
99p down on a 14' dinghy
It'll get me a pint I guess !

Once upon a time with a Hatty Jaques style Matron, an enema twice daily, and intermittent colonic irrigation, he'd have soon gone

I've paddled past there loads - never even given it a thought

Must admit I've sometimes wondered what the legal position in mudweighting opposite a river mooring and rowing across are, if the moorings are all full.
So long as the main channel was not restricted......

Hope and assume so too

Anyone around Breydon yesterday afternoon around 17:15 ? Do they know if the Police successfully talked the person back who was sitting on the outside of the railings, downsteam / Cobham side.

Are the proposed changes / costs anywhere in the public domain ?

Bob - if you are not up this way too often, drop me a PM with your boat details and where it is - I'll look out for it specifically when I'm down ( I live in the village and have a boat there too )
Maybe I need a sticker on the house so people can pop in for a cuppa ?

I drove back to Barton from Norwich last night around eight. There were manhole covers in the middle of Sprowston road lifted right up, 6 inches or so, by the water pressure. Others had huge water fountains shooting out of the holes in them. An 'interesting' journey ( oh - and my garage flooded )
Suppose I'd better saunter down and check the boat today

I fitted one a couple of years ago. Only got the cooker, but it is, like the boat, getting on a bit....

Does anyone else use https://roadworks.org/ ?

One in Neatishead. Just off the right turn on the first l/h bend if you're coming in from the Wroxham / Stalham road.

Never read Ransome so dropped one there.....

I have been known to walk round a BMW / Audi etc in Tesco Sprowston, having been following it from Wroxham on the weekly shop.
When asked what I'm doing the answer is "just seeing if this does actually have indicators fitted " ( you need to make sure the driver isn't a 6' 6" fighter if trying this one though. )

Same one as did the car park in Wroxham ? He reduced the wife to tears on at least one occasion. I used to deliberately take a Roys carrier bag with me to put my goods from the precinct in just to see the look on his face.
