I don't think it helps when the southern by-pass has moterway style entry/exit lanes (no roundabouts) then the NDR suddenly has obstacles (roundabouts.)

4 + 2 They have to be joking. That design is really only for 2 people. One toilet that fills up quickly you would need a pump out so often. Most reviewers say the same.
I'm confused, Why only 2 people. The layout indicates two separate double cabins with convertible dinette.

The more frequent these debates are regurgitated (which seems to be almost as frequent as Brexit debates on the tele) the more people get bored with the subject and want to move on to something more interesting.

It is the flatness of the landscape with large skies & horizons, the wetlands & marshes & wonderful coastlines that make Broadland and the area I know and love special.
Sadly we have no mountains (unless you count Kett's hill) from which to look down on the landscape but you can always climb Ranworth church tower or a windmill to enjoy such views.
I suspect the ethos of the NP is to embrace a variety of landscapes. Although there are fewer riverside areas for non-boaters to enjoy than I would like there are still many accessible places available.

How do they count the number of visitors?
Do they include visitors to Norwich?
Are locals that visit a Broadland pub included?
I'm sure there's a tried and tested method but I can't imagine how it's done.

Reading this thread there seems to be an overwhelming view that the Broads is rubbish and of very little interest to anybody other than boaters.
REALLY!!!!
The area is charming, welcoming to boaters, anglers, cyclists, canoists, bird watchers, ramblers, people who like to sit by the water watching the world go by etc. etc. .... I could go on but I find the constant moaning about almost everything very depressing.

I admit I find beauty in derelict/decaying woodies. As they decay they become increasingly atmospheric.
Decaying GRP on the other hand become eyesaws.

So people are quite content that the Doctor is an alien, has two hearts, travels in time and has re-incarnated more times than his fictional character is meant to be able to. But to regenerate as a woman is apparently in-appropriate?
I was more annoyed that the doctor has suddenly become a Northerner .... everyone knows she/he was a Londoner.

I believe the examiner needs to be confident that you are a safe driver. If he feels you are not then there will be many things he could choose to fail you on.
A driving test isn't about ticking boxes you have to drive confidently and demonstrate to the examiner that you are a safe and competent driver.
If the examiner is not confident in your driving ability then he is doing you a favour by failing you as you will gain more experience in the run up to your next test.
Whilst I enjoy your "blogging" you do open yourself up to critism and maybe your examiner had read your blog prior to your test?
Best put this test out of your mind and concentrate on passing the next.

According to those who know she's thankfully fine.
Hense the light hearted banter which i'm sure she would approve of.

I would clap but it seems that this is now rather frowned on in some quarters ......
Quote
"A student union has ditched clapping, whooping and cheering in favour of "jazz hands".
Reps at the University of Manchester voted to replace noisy appreciation with the British Sign Language (BSL) equivalent - a wave of both hands.
Union officer Sara Khan said traditional clapping can cause issues for students with autism, sensory issues or deafness.
But the move was criticised by some who accused students of being "pampered"."
Holds head in hands and sighs ..... when/where will it end?

I grew up in Beccles. As a young lad the only access I had for fishing was Puddingmore, Beccles quay, the river wall. None of these places had restrictions for fishing and I rarely encountered any aggrevation between boaters & fisherman.
There were little restriction on speeding so occasionally a wave would break over the bank from speeding boats ..... the worst offender was the "Regal Lady".
From angling as a kid I eventually bought a small boat & then learned to sail.
In those days the Quay was much narrower, there was no by-pass and the local dump made use of the marshes. Everybody seemed to rub along quite happily together and enjoy the environment.
Now it's very different. Angling banned on the quay, restrictions everywhere ..... maybe this contributes to the them and us feeling that is prevalent today ...... too many petty rules!!

We seem to live in a society that thrives on the "law & punishment" rule to sort out our perceived grievences.
It didn't used to be like this. People respected the rights of everybody to do their own thing.
I understand that boat owners have invested much money in persuing their passtime but why do they assume they have the right to rule the waters just because they pay moor to putt about the Broads than the maggot danglers.
The Broads should be for "everybody" not the priveleged few.

In many ways it's quite ironic that nature has engineered a mechanism whereby we end up eating our own waste!!
A timely warning (perhaps a little late) that we must stop this obsession of wrapping everything we eat, drink and buy in plastic.
Perhaps a warning on all plastic products "WARNING ..... you might end up eating this packaging".
Superb bit of TV .......

Newspapers do have their use.
I recently bought one to help light the logs heating up the hot tub ....... nothing seems to work quite like newspaper.

How true that is! Only in the last couple of weeks someone was nearly hauled over the coals for using the expression ‘whiter than white’. They were accused of being racist! An innocent expression taken completely out of context. At least in that particular case the accuser had to eat humble pie (can I say that or is it discriminatory in some way?
)
smellyloo uses the term ‘us oldies’ but, with a few exceptions, I have little idea of how old members are or indeed how long they have been members.
Now i'm going to risk the "wrath of hell" and point out what my mum used to wash my clothes in .....

Nanna - It's somewhat to do wi being from Jockland so I am informed
This raises one of those debates best conducted with a bottle of Bushmills ......
Should it be spelt Nana or Nanna?

I always find it quite a hoot when an oldie gets ticked off by an upstart mod.
Unfortunately it's quite difficult for us oldies to keep up with the latest "PC" word or phrase that has suddenly become frowned on.
But please let's look forward to new and exciting new members to engage with and allow those that decide to take a break to enjoy their sojourn away.

I certainly don't have any objections about the proposals but then I am also not a local resident.
I think such developments are better discussed/agreed by those directly effected.

I think you will find that the super rich have nothing to do with the mundanity of tax affairs.
They employ a company to sort it out.
