The solution is all in the mind. If you buy a boat that is too big to pass water under the bridge then forget about the other side and enjoy what's on your side ...... unless of course your already on the other side .... then the other side is to be envied!!

Blimey as far as I can see there is no suggestion that large twin engined boats are going to be banned from the Broads ..... you will still be able to choose the type of boat that suits you. It's just that the boat toll/tax could be tweeked to factor in number /size of engines in addition to the existing criteria. If well thought out and implemented it could result in a reduction in toll for smaller, less powerful craft. It would be foolish to raise the toll for the larger twin engined boat excessively thus resulting in the loss of revenue when they chuff off elsewhere.

I see nothing wrong with tolls being based on number of engines as well as the other criteria, if this helps to reduce the overheads for historic craft on the Broads so much the better.

Blimey ..... my grandad's old crock would have to go over that bridge in reverse!!

So if I understand it correctly Gracie is jumping into a posh bathtub with a man in a skirt? Takes all sorts I suppose.

Erm .... me actually!! You never know when these snippets of information will reap rewards.

Presumably to make hunting more fun!!

I think cats kill more wildlife than dogs but I don't see a campaign to keep cats indoors.

I reckon if I had a riverside property there is no way I could extend my garden by decking over part of the river. I would have thought there was room to provide the walkway on land at the back of the ferry boat. However it is sad to see what was once a thriving, delightful pub turned into flats.

At least Americans still refer to their language as English. Result!!! England 1 America 0

I couldn't post tit

You silly billy Grace. I wouldn't be seen dead in a thong on a day boat ...... A thong is for evening wear!!

I know but I don't like rushing about.

As I am now consigned to the day boat hire brigade I really get chuffed off with owner people (of whom I was one) who cruise along at just over drifting speed. Come on . I need to see the broads ....... have a pub lunch and mud weight before my hour is up.

Sorry to read about your breakin John. Theiving scum seems an approriate term. What we need is a "Jack in a box" mechanism hidden in a jewelry box filled with Sh*t. Hopefully a long hot summer of lazing around on your boat will help dull the anger you justly feel.

I respect the genorisity shown but ...... Isn't this what the tolls are for, As I see it all boat users pay a toll directly or indirectly.

I hope heaven is plauged with midges
