  1. It seems in and out with the service provider has been ok mostly but I'll have a ganders at weekend... Bivvied up at a lake now 😲
  2. Do you mean the brundall one as its fine
  3. It may also be of benefit to know that the Brundall Boat Show is on the 16th May
  4. Seems OK now but I've not done anything
  5. I was driving from Cheshire to Brundall on Wednesday night and had a full tyre deflation on the A14 about 5 miles from Brampton, this was 8:30pm. I managed to make my way off the A14 to a pub after stopping twice and putting air into the tyre. I then used the inflation stuff that comes with the car instead of a spare. This just oozed out all over the car park. So I rang the asistance line and this is where the fun started. I could go on and on here but to keep it short their solution was to lift the car and take to a secure compound, get me a taxi to Brundall and then with some hope put the fixed car in a dedicated delivery van and deliver it to me at Brundall. How much would that of cost (I'm talking generally as it wouldn't have cost me a penny as its all covered!). Anyway the driver came to take the car at 11pm but there was no sign or telephone call (that I should have received) of anyone coming to collect me. I waited half an hour and the finally got through to the emergencey line, there had been some mix up and nothing yet had been arranged so I couldnt let the driver take it. Instead I spoke to the pub people who were really friendly and made a room up for me. After which I rang the assistance line and said why can't they just get a mobile tyre company to fix my tyre where it was. Eventually at 11 the next morning thats what they did... Can you believe all that for a flat tyre!! I've spared you all the phone calls and angst! but surely their solution is far worse for the client, the planet and costlier than a spare.
  6. I fished all day today on the Yare and the level kept coming up for a good while after the tide turned on the ebb. Didnt get too high though. Fishing was good but dont tell anyone
  7. A good number of years ago I used to work for McVities making Jaffa Cakes and as well as our own branded version we made a number of other brands for well known supermarkets. We did use a different ingredients mix so it could be classed as unique but the difference was that slight you would never know...however the price ranges on the shelves were quite dramatic!
  8. You may or may not be aware of the proposed works on the Hoveton Great Broad and how it directly affects fish movement and spawning. There is a new update here for you to digest: - https://basgonline.org/hoveton-great-broad-update-nov-2019/?fbclid=IwAR10b6p4IFnv1ox3WRUKfHcGPrPAz2xc4-DNP537_4Hd_DgUQOhDr6xHM1Q
  9. I had an old cine film video converted last year and it only cost about £17 (Cheshire). No mither just dropped off and collected and can be put on any media, probs more than an old reel to reel but quick, reliable and no messing around.
  10. Gave the Lavender house a go in the past and found the food very nice but the service was all very regimented (we had the taster menu). We were fans of the indian only because it saved the odd trip to Norwich or the Tamarind however the food was average and the place was always cold...the chef did you used to run us home though . Looking forward to this one and as Speedtriple says I'd far rather see a small menu with a few specials... it usually means a better experience. Lets hope they can turn the heating up in the new year!
  11. Suzuki DF2.5 short shank. I bought this brand new last year and used for only half an hour! and have all the paperwork etc. Its still got the warranty and is transferable. Offers over £350 considered.
  12. 10ft GRP Dinghy, 2 oars and launch trolley. I don't know her age but is quite old with a scratches etc. but is fit for purpose on the water. Any sensible offer considered. Collection only Brundall.
  13. Not really you can play fantastic football and not win everything or anything 👍
  14. You may be right Paul but he doesn't lose dressing rooms he said himself that he may not stay beyond the current extension so could be gone at the end of this or next season. The football we play is at times is mesmeric and just the same this season. We lost 2 points to VAR and a defensive mare against Norwich who capitalised brilliantly. We've got defensive shortages that might take its toll this season but we are still playing fantastic football ⚽
  15. I've got a 10ft grp that im selling see my post in for sale section
  16. And surely there can't be a Norfolk Back Stop where the sea fish can mingle freely with the coarse fish
  17. Can't say I agree but it doesn't overly bother me either. Just wish it was consistent as I don't get why some fish are protected and others haven't.
  18. Hi Quo Vadis Yes it as Old Berkshire Boy has said £150 and 25kg. It cost quite a lot more and is as brand new. So I'm not taking offers on any of the above as its all very cheap. Cheers
  19. I bought a large 53L portable tank with wheels and a hose and just filled it up in the boot of the car. I never got any probs from petrol stations but I'm not sure it's allowed!
