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

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!!

If it is well promoted at Whitlingham it may entice a few thirsty trudgers to sample some of the splendid watering holes in Thorpe.
I really hope it works out .... but two services? Hmmmm

I think the people that dug him up should bear the cost of reburial. I'd do it for considerably less than 2 mill.

Today he would have been classed as a nasty piece of work and in fact Murdered the Princes to get his own way. No sorry him and his kind were not nice at all.
Poippy "It all strikes me as a little bit like digging up Jimmy Saville and giving him a State funeral!"
I didn't actually know the chap so it's difficult for me to join in the critism!
I do know he died during an augument about roses though, but it all happened several years ago now, Strange they were allowed to bury him in a car park. Does anybody know what happened to his horse?

If a hirer chooses a boat that will not go under PH or Wroxham bridges, then a reduction of hire cost should be taken into account. (maybe £20 less per week), that is lees than having to hire a day boat, if one wants to visit Hickling.
A nice thought but how would you know if the £20 discount had been applied?
As long as the boatyard are up front about where your chosen boat can go then you can make an informed choice.

I always think a piano to be an essential bit of kit. First & foremost you need entertainment on board.
Oh ..... and a bucket for when the entertainment results in an over indulgence of the lemonade.

I agree Tim & Pru's adventures are worth a watch.
I loved the bit where Pru went into Rotweiller mode when somebody dared to discard an empty bottle in the canal. Just as well she was encouraged to show restraint given the individuals concerned.
Just the right blend of boating and interest provided by the people they meet on the journey.

And everybody lived happily ever after ..... ZZzzzzzzz

I don't live there but when I visit by day boat it is quite magical.
I'm afraid it would not be so if there were a line of large stinkies ploughing their way to the pub.
So leave the bridge alone.
I would however quite like to see formally navigable stretches re-instated such as the Waveney to Bungay.
I know this is unlikely ever to happen but it would be nice.

Teak planking .... doesn't get much better than that.

Norwich ....... the sun didn't come out this morning . gloom ..... gloomier ...... back to gloom.
Couldn't even see anything through the binoculars!!!

Unit pricing of toilet rolls is tricky too... they just make each sheet shorter. it needs to be priced by the metre.
(or by the poos per roll if you want it really useful)
Two edged sword really (ouch)
Smaller thinner sheets ...... increase soap sales!!

Speed limits should be obeyed ...... end.
However the problem I often encounter on our country roads are those drivers who insist on driving at 43.9 mph regardless of good, straight roads.
In my older, more, mellow years I just moan a bit and stay behind, however many wish to pass the mobile chicane which leads to a decision ..... do they exceed the speed limit to pass quickly and safely or pass more slowly legally?

I picture an army of curtain twitchers ..... cameras at ready .................. waiting to name & shame.
But wait......
How did we manage to police the waterways before they went digital?
Perhaps woody folks were better behaved.
That said the bloke in question deserved what he got ....... the result of the red mist descending.

I guess those who want a warm & comfy box to sit in will never understand us "real people (wanted to say men but realised I couldn't!!)" who revel in life at the end of wooden stick (standing not sitting) imagining life as captain on one of Nelson's fleet.
Oh are me hearties ..... bit of rain never hurt anybody ....... Chuck a bucket of salty water in me face ...... proper boating.

Also the graffiti all over the bridges and some of the locks. What is the matter with some people in this day and age, they are not happy unless they are destroying things for the enjoyment of the majority.
I used to think this way too. But not all grafitti is an eyesore. Done well it can brighten up dull, dingey dark places.
Perhaps these underpass type areas could be regularly sprayed blank to allow a blank canvas for new artwork.
Then maybe ..... hopefully ...... they would leave less appropriate areas free of grafitti.

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.
