    Road Works 2021

    Trying to get to a job at Sutton was fun yesterday morning with temp lights at Wroxham and Hoveton added also with a low loader with35ft cruiser trying to get out of the boatyard then 2 fire engines, ambulances and I think Hemsby lifeboat all in the car park at the boat yard (didn’t find out what was going on) John
  3. Bloody privateers what with them and the Hirers there no were to moor 😂
  4. Have a good day, good to meet you again at Neatishead yesterday. Did you get in at redone moorings at Stalham? John
  5. Take your time Ian, especially when looking for a house in Norfolk, location location, from experience what looks lovely in the summer can be bleak in winter. John

    My Day

    Had the same type of head ache for 4 weeks since my 1st jab, this week it seems to have eased somewhat as I wasn’t really looking forward to having my 2nd one! John
  7. Same as had many diesel BMWs over the last 20 odd years 2.0d and 3.0d doing 25k a year never had an engine problem. John
  8. Pub car for patrons only. Staithe area very limited spaces There is a Parking area a bit further round the road at the back of the shop / cafe which is open day time hours only and locked at night. John
  9. If you are keeping the car long term I would bite the bullet and pay the £395. My last BMW which I traded in Last June only had 1 key for the last 2 years, god knows were the spare key went, I’m sure it’s on the boat some were, I think BMW want nearer to £500 for a new key! I always thought I would find the key somewhere so never bothered to buy another one and fortunately it wasn’t a problem at trade in, but it’s always on your mind what if I lost this one! John
  10. Had a run out today managed the 6 mile round trip ok. Moorings empty, nice job done at south Walsham new moorings. Don’t know what’s going on at St Bennett’s with all the no mooring signs is this some sort of covid safe idea? Was told by a wild swimmer we shouldn’t be using our boats Really! John
  11. Yes very impressive. I’ve been sick of hearing the put downs of this country over the last few years, we don’t do this and that as good as Germany etc. Even my brother who lives Spain regularly saying the NHS in Spain is much better than the Uk. (Never did believe him). So thanks to all involved you have made us proud😀 John
  12. Most newer (last 30 years or so ) developments have restrictive covenants stoping parking of caravans, motor homes etc. In fact it has all blow up on our Close recently. John
  13. Good news Vaughan so are the French giving this to all age groups now as they can’t seem to make their mind up ? John
  14. No dipstick on the last 2 330 BMWs never been an issue, bloody expensive oil though fully synthetic as is the same on the boats Yanmar engine isn’t it Clive 😀😂 John
  15. Same as Jean didn’t want to wait to get Hoveton so Also booked in at North Walsham week on Friday, overs 55s now so they are getting through the age groups fast😀 John
  16. They will want their toll money soon so will have to let us use them or they will go skint. John
  17. I reckon the last photo must be the deck Totty off Broad Ambition in Griffs dreams 😂😂😂 John
  18. Don’t agree with the 10% theory Ian as a £150k river boat could have the same maintainance cost of a £25K example. Comparing the Haines 31 with 50 hp inboard engine around £300 if basic service only annually. Were as the twin engine outdrive Sealine could average £1000 easy if the outdrives need servicing every other year. But it depends if you can do the work yourself or have to have a boatyard to do it. Now updating this is were you can really get carried away ! John

    Broom Captain

    The Captain has a decent size sliding side door next to the helm which along with the rear doors fully open has a good through draft unlike other sedan types. John
  21. It seems a good price but only 3 year lease left (how much to renew if you can ??)£26 k rent Per year . John
  22. I went to do a job in Grantchester, Cambridgeshire in November and they were filming another series at the time with a lot of the locals involved, that is until one of them cane down Covid and they had to stop until all was clear. John
  23. Looks too cheap Clive put your hire boats up a bit and put your mooring down that’s a great idea for a Friday 😀😀😂
