There always were lots around the Berney Arms area and the railway station. Chris Sheppard used to make them into a strong alcoholic drink.He called it Bullace.and used to give it to his regular customers at The Berney - they always came back for more!!...Dave R............

It would be good to see The Berney up and running as a pub. At present their is a distinct lack of customers and in view of its location and no a road to the pub I cannot see it surviving in a relatively short period from April to the end of October.

I remember Chris Shephard a former tenant at The Berney saying that the only moorings along the Quay which are owned by the pub are the ones immediately outside . He used to pay the farmer who owns the land behind the moorings a fee so that boats visiting the pub could moor there. The moorings immediately outside the Berney Mill I believe are owned the owners of the Mill. There are approx. 50 yards of mooring just upstream of the 24 hour moorings and these were purchased some years ago with the land behind the moorings. Dave R...........

The hire fleets do not antifoul below the boot top line and in the majority of cases its not necessary. The hire boats are for the best part of the year in constant use and the weed growth on the hull is minimal. With hire boats going constantly from fresh water to sea water when they are in the Yarmouth area the fouling of the hull is further reduced. Hire boats are taken out of the water every year and the hulls are pressure washed to remove any light fouling. It does save the hire fleets from the expense of antifouling. The cost of extra fuel used hardly comes into question. Dave R.......

Many of the broads hire fleets only antifoul to just below the waterline and a few years ago the broads Authority recommended this. Dave R...........

second the comments for The New Inn at Rockland its well worth a visit....Dave R

Vesta used to make the Chow Mein, paella and the beef risotto - all were good but it seems that you cannot buy the risotto any more and the other two are difficult to find. Dave R...........

vesta chow mein from Tesco is ok. Dave R.

good post Grace - spot on......Dave R..............

Thanks Jonathan for the reply its appreciated. The photo in the middle of the screen is my desktop background picture. I am clicking on the correct "+"new desktop symbol and when I do that I can create a new desktop and it shows up as a new desktop. The main problem is that its not a blank desktop as in your illustration but its an exact copy of the desktop I already have and the applications that are running on my main desktop are duplicated on the new desktop. It could be a problem that I have when I downloaded Windows 10. Thanks for the link . I downloaded windows 10 on release day.Regards Dave R

Thanks for the instructions Jonathan. In view of my age I do struggle sometimes with computers and I guess that I am doing something wrong. I get my desktop up with a photograph in the middle and folders on the screen. I then click on the desktop symbol (Its also marked Task View when I point to it) At that point the screen goes dim and the folders disappear but the dim photo remains. I then click on "+" at the right hand end of the bar and I then add a second desktop identical to the one I already have. For some reason I cannot add a new BLANK desktop. ........... I seem to be missing the overview showing the windows that are open. I use AVG internet security. Dave R.................

I am having problems with adding a virtual desktop in Windows 10. I have read that when you add a new desktop it is a blank desktop that you can then customise. When I click on add a desktop is simply copies the desktop that I already have. Any advise would be appreciated. Dave R...........

The trains along the Berney line run about every hour during daylight hours. The Berney station is a request stop and the trains always slow down to a crawl when approaching the station so that the driver can see who is waiting on the platform. Many walkers arrive by train and then walk back to Yarmouth along the footpath by the side of Breydon water. Dave R

A great lady and a true genuine person she will be missed. Dave R

It would be great if we could have English/England but it does not seem to work for every one . No doubt Microsoft will give us an update in the future but in the meantime for me and many others who do get the problem of Cortana not working then for them its united states and English. Dave R.........

I was having trouble enabling Cortana and its a well known problem. I got the following fix from Microsoft and it worked for me: 1. Open up settings and navigate to time and Language 2 Click on region and language from the sidebar 3 change the country/region to United states 4. click on add a Language button on the Languages section 5. Find English then select English United states 6.After that go back to region and Language section and click on English United states and then click Options 7.There you will see that there is an option to download speech - download it 8. After its finished downloading go back to Region and Language section and click on English united states after that click on set as default 9 Lastly open up Cortana and follow the on screen instructions to get it.........Dave R........

We went into the New inn on Saturday 8th August 2015 and had a meal in the restaurant. The food was very good and we could not fault it in any way. Trawlermans bitter was on tap which was spot on. Whilst we were there from 6.30pm to 8.15pm we were the only ones in the restaurant which was surprising for a Saturday evening. The New inn is well worth a visit you will not be disappointed. Dave R.................

Is anyone having problems enabling Cortana in Windows 10. I have two computers both running Windows 10. On the first computer Cortana works well and I have no problems. On the second computer Cortana will not run at all despite the settings on both computers being the same. Dave R............

I have now downloaded and installed windows 10. First impressions are that its very quick. I had read that media player would not work in windows 10 which was a concern. However I have found that media player is there in windows 10 and works well. Dave R.........

Deebee- Thanks for that information I would not have found that by myself its appreciated and may also help more members who have the same problem. As I am typing this Windows 10 is installing. Dave R........

Hi Iain, I don't have Norton but I do have AVG internet security. Dave R...........

I have just checked my update history and there are two entries - Upgrade to Windows 10 home-failed I have done some checks and the problem is quite common. Any advise please would be appreciated on the matter. Dave R.............

Window 10 is being released today, would be good to hear when someone has got the upgrade. How long do we have to wait to get it? Dave R

Re the possibility of windows 10 ending up as a subscription service. Microsoft are on record as saying that this will not happen however things could change a little way down the line.

Welcome aboard - Dave R.........
