    You pay per pump out. Fred

    Every landowner is entitled to charge for the use of their property be it mooring, car park, carvan/camping site or whatever, I am referring to those lost with no mooring signs or obstructions because of littering, vandalism etc etc. or simply trespassing. Fred

    The past is the past and times change and most things with it. While everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle they also have a responsability to respect the rights and property of everyone else, to much wild mooring has been lost because of the way its been abused, sadly their is a significant minority who seem to think they are unaccountable and every one else suffers the consequences.

    There are places in and around London where that has already been reached if not exceeded, I am familiar with one particular stretch in East London where for 3/4 mile or more the towpath is nose to tail with boats of every description and in some cases double moored and there is nothing to stop others joining on. While many feel aggrieved with the situation on the Broads it pales into insignificances with some areas. Fred

    Quite possibly but I would guess the extra toll is still cheaper than a marina berth, also while residential moorings are permitted and have existed for longer than I can remember there are nowhere near enough to accomodate the escalation in livaboards in recent years. Fred

    While I agree they are far more suitable the 2 week rule is a joke, regardless of what C&RT state on the canalised stretches of my local river most boats are in residence for months on end denying anglers etc access to the waterway, this is a national problem not just a Broads one. While action is often taken against land based squatters and travellers little seems to be done to control liveaboards, I have no issue with anyone who chooses to live on a boat but they should abide by the same rules that apply to everyone else. Fred

    There are many hundreds if not thousands who have done just that on various rivers and canals throughout the country, it is more suited to urban waterways for access and amenities and moorings than the limitations of the rural Broads. Fred

    Which suggests its google maps that's wrong not the app itself. Fred
  9. rightsaidfred
    Not sure if this is linked to google maps, if I open the app at home and go on maps I get the same information as I do on google maps. Fred

    The person who reported it is herself a well respected and highly responsible lady and not one to start or spread rumours. Fred

    I must be quite sad, the only YouTube content I look at is the educational how to fix it ones and even then I am cautious as to their accuracy. Fred
  12. rightsaidfred
    Trouble is that there is far to much money to be made from all forms of social media for bloggers of any stature, how accurate or informative or damaging the content is is irrelevant, there are more than enough people prepared to believe anything without question and follow their particular favourites. Fred

    Yes cash is expensive for a legitimate business, as is employees. Fred
  14. rightsaidfred
    Horses for courses I suppose, in London and I guess elsewhere many businesses only accept cards, personally I would be wary of supporting any business that only deals in cash. Fred

    Trouble is with people detouring of through Newmarket that then becomes gridlocked taking even longer, it was bad enough when the A11 used to run through there with much less traffic than today. Fred
