  1. Been stuck there 3 mornings this last week going to work and just dropped our grandson off again all coned off and not seen a single worker all week! Do we really have this until August.

  2. Won’t be topping up 300 litres any time soon at simpsons as this would cost an extra £120 over Boulters ?  Even a Yorkshire man would  understand that😂

  3. 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)

  5. 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!

  6. 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!

  7. 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😀

  8. 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 !
