  3. I was tiling a few weeks ago around the new outside BBQ area... The tiles we removed from a bathroom in MK when we lived there... That was about 25 years ago,... So don't throw anything away it might be useful..

  5. Just a rough outline at the moment, The show held at Poringland, in February is cancelled. The big show held at Hellesdon School Norwich at the beginning of April is cancelled. At the moment Broadland Model Railway clubs open day in Hoveton May is still on, as is our show at the beginning of October in Aylsham.

    Road Works 2020

    All the road works through Hoveton and Wroxham have cleared, except the Avenues now closed diversion via Salhouse rd. There appeared to be some sort of incident in Hoveton, two police cars parked on the pavement at the precinct and another came out from the road that side.

  11. The problem for most of the foiled craft is there is not enough room, small dinghies like the 12ft international Moth, maybe on a big broad, though can you imagine what happens when the T foils hit the mud on the bottom.... As for a broads cruiser, the class rules requiring cabin, berths , matresses, fore and aft bench seating, tabernacle, forehatch. All will make a broads cruiser too heavy even if totally built of carbon Fibre.. Should you be able to make the impossible, then you'd reach the end of each tack on the broad so quickly, you'd rarely be able to stay "flying". Such broads cruisers certainly would be impossible to use on rivers, the extra width would mean continuously tacking, and just how would you tie up against a quay heading?. A passing motor cruiser not seeing the underwater , excrescences would just destroy them.. as would the shallows of the river bank..

    Road Works 2020

    The Roadworks in Wroxham between the Avenues and the flowershop have gone, those uphill from Roys in Hoveton are still there..
  13. Not if natural England has anything to do with it.... There is a very good picture on the EDP (edp24.co.uk) which clearly shows why the cafe hasn't got a chance.. Though I don't think the satellite is that good more a drone picture

    Road Works 2020

    Oh joy.. There is now a set of road works in Hoveton as well , between Roy's and the double mini roundabout. So there are traffic jams everywhere, you get stuck in one set in the tail back from the other set. Then you get the pedestrians crossings stopping you when the lights on the road works go green... Chaos..

    Road Works 2020

    The above road works are still in place with no apparent work having happened. There is another set of roadworks in Wroxham, between the Avenues and the flower shop traffic light controlled. single way working. On the Coltishall road between the NDR and Norwich, just the Norwich side of the Nursery, about 1/3 of the road is barriered off no warning signs, No lights. It suggests they were put there in a hurry maybe a collapsed drain cover or the like..

    Road Works 2020

    The cones in Hoveton disappeared I never saw them used.. Meanwhile just north of Hoveton on Stalham road, at the first left hand bend there is one way traffic light controlled traffic. They are rebuilding the access to telephone ducting in the road..

    Road Works 2020

    The road works outside Stalham Tescos has cleared, they appear to have partly installed a zebra Crossing, as well as building the new entrance to the MaCarthy and Stone homes site. The lights are covered up and there are no road markings yet. I note they've installed it in line with a road hump, a curved top road hump, that could be interesting for someone poorly sighted or on a disabled buggy... Meanwhile Cones have appeared in Hoveton, between the double mini roundabout and Roys, as yet they are stacked on the pavements along with narrow road signs I suspect works are about to start works there..
  18. I suspect for most landowners it would cost more to pay for a water bailiff to patrol their waters than it would provide in income. Horsey being a nature reserve, the landowners had EA backing so it cost them nothing..
  19. Almost every Broad is owned by someone, as it was solid (ish) land before they dug a hole in it, therefore the owners have the rights for fishing and mudweighting. This has nothing to do with being tidal or not. Rights to naviagation only apply if it was granted in the past. Hence no right to navigate on Wroxham broad as there was no staithe and therefore no need to navigate across it. Wroxham broad being closed 1 day a year to enforce the owners rights to non navigation. Horsey has rights to navigate the dyke and Waxham cut. Therefore each broad would need a separate permit, unless the landowners get together to organise something. The rivers are separate, they being natural, the landowners only have the rights to the land, not to stop fishing below the highest tidal point. So Overall: EA have the HMG granted right to charge you for fishing, The landowners have the right to charge you for fishing on a broad, not the rivers. The landowners have the right to charge you for access to a river from their land..
  20. His place of residence is Monaco, He has homes in Monaco, New York, Colorado. He does not pay taxes in the UK. Except for a very very tiny proportion . He has homes in Monaco, New York, Colorado. Note the picture below, all of those companies are not based in the UK so none of that money will be taxed here..
  21. But Hamilton doesn't live in the UK and doesn't pay UK taxes.. So until he does why should he have a say in anything in the UK..

    My Day

    Twice as a youngster when we moved each time for my dad's job, I was the one who found the overflow to the bath hadn't been connected.. I still like a full bath.... Well, another weekend nearly over, The keel was lowered to the floor, somewhat inelegantly, but it got there without damage to it , me , or anything else. The other side got cleaned off, and filleted. The garage workshop has most of the ring main complete, just an outside socket to reconnect. The remaining sheet of osb was demolished into pieces to clad the ceiling, on top of which fibreglass insulation was inserted. It needs about another 1 1/2 osb boards to complete. That allowed the second of three LED batten strip lights to be installed in the workshop, that's now working correctly from a light switch in a lighting circuit . The old lights were connected to the one mains supply rated for lighting that had sockets in it!!!! As someone said.. you couldn't make it up. Oh Yeoman nationals, Snowflake sailing club at Horning Sailing club, the weekend of 5/6 December, Boris and virus permitting. Expect up to thirty boats but sadly the virus may well make that a lot less..
  23. Being of strange mind the thread led me to believe it might be of A Great Western Star class locomotive. Or this a Star class keelboat on Wroxham broad Horning sailing club have radio control racing one afternoon/evening a week but they only race the laser RC model.
  24. The run across the road from the works to the pub at lunch time was famous.. Trying to drive down there at that time it was just a sea of people..
