Where's Scotland?

If you want to spend a day/night exploring a vibrant city then you should definitely visit Norwich. Don't expect it to be quiet though .... the yacht station is adjacent to a busy through road and very close to the busy night club/bar area of Prince of Wales road. But hey ...... you've got the rest of the holiday to enjoy the peace and quiet. Go on ..... be brave ...... give Norwich a try ..... to quote a well known Norwich Lady "Let's be havin you"!

It's this type of situation that teaches you the most. Do as you have, analyze the event after it has happened. Try the same manouver on a deserted river/broad and see what happens when you try different things. The key thing in these situations, if you are struggling to control the boat, is to ensure your boat is moving slowly. I have witnessed many out of control vessels charging about on full throttle creating all sorts of chaos.

Glad there was no casualties. Looks like it Turned out to be a fruitful exercise for the emergency services accessing a relatively difficult location.

"we're gonna need a bigger boat"

At least motorsport is free of that "Guru of all sports" Clare Balding ...... who I always thought to be horsey mere.

It seems to me that conservationlists want to freeze habitat in time to preserve/protect the current wildlife. Whilst this may be possible in natural salt marsh and estuaries man made habitat such as the broads need constant management to preserve the status quo otherwise they will eventually silt up and return to scrub land ...... which I suppose would benefit the ****. The forum software moderated my use of the word **** (a small blue bird or indees a coal ****)

Not so sure about this ........ Boating used to be the passtime of the rich ..... they were the only ones who could afford the time & money on boats Plus ....... when the odd regatta presented itself they could hire hands to handle the nasty sheets. That said the old woodies do look like proper boats.

Really ...... you lot are very rude!!! It's significantly better than my current boat.

I like to lounge round in my Aussie thongs and for stepping out ....... peep toe boots.

I thought the change from silver to bronze a farthing to far!! Or am I confused with the threepenny bit ...... quite likely.

In Norfolk we use the proper Lsd currency ..... none of that new fangled decismell currency for us!!

Is this a true reflection? It's not my experience ..... the rescue services go out of their way to help I'm thinking lifeboat, firebrigade, ambulance etc

Don't forget to post a piccie of the head. Welcome

Great program and the Kelpies are stunning. Sadly in Norfolk we have no motorways, very little public spending and no notable sculptures. Yarmouth/Breydon could do with a truly eye catching sculpture ..... but what. Iron men strolling in the mud as per Liverpool way. Giant sail?

Somebody elses dog probably not. My own faithful german Shepherd .... Probably yes. I would like to think he would return the favour. In reality I don't think you know what you would do until you face the dilemma yjen I suspect you go on to auto pilot. I hope I never have to be put to the test.

If your lucky and you keep very, very quiet you might spot a flat capped Geordie. Listen out for the distinctive mating call "Wea eye mun"!!

Clang, clang, clang of the rigging Chug, Chug, Chug of the engine Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings For the moment I smelt them I fell ............. Todays dinner will mainly consist of cheese.

I wonder how much of the current Victory went to Trafalger?

When t's a bit blowy there is nothing nicer than overtaking the stinkies ....... even if it is short lived ...... the revenge of the stinkie soon follows around the next bend!! Psst. Don't tell ..... but ..... a flappy has a huge amount of control and manouverability when it's windy ... just keep your distance from "smelly" ... he is the exception to the above!!

Imagine the outcry if after years of enjoying the floral displays they were ripped out to make way for a car park!!

"Wavy Knees and Win Some .... Yer Yer Yer"
