  1. There are now signs on the A149 appealing for witnesses to the accident.
  2. The active camera I think is the camera at the Potter end, it appears to have lights and various other fittings that the others don't
  3. Most of the speed cameras although connected up have never been commissioned to be used. I'll be using most from Cats common to Stalham in just over an hour on the way home from work, I use Stalham to Sutton going to the sailing club or Potter.. The route I know well.. Most of the accidents along that section particularly at Tescos are caused by impatient or not seeing oncoming traffic, drivers pulling out on to the A149
  4. I'm getting confused with all these changes..
  5. Hardly surprising, I believe they are owned by the same people, Len Funnel and Family..
  6. It's 50 from Sutton round to Cats Common.
  7. When Tesco was going to expand onto the abattoir site, one of the planning conditions was building a Roundabout on the A149. That was lost, first because to objections to the expansion. Second when Tesco found a big black hole in the accounts and had to sell the site. If ever MacCarthy and Stone get restarted on the abattoir retirement home, when it's finished the access point almost opposite the Tesco warehouse entrance will cause more chaos.. The Accident was on the A149 a 50 mph limit, at that junction with the road that actually goes past Tescos. You'd never get an artic going fast enough to jackknife outside Tescos itself.
  8. and a lot of them were marine magazines, but the guy lived somewhere like Birmingham, and had never had a boat or access to one..
  9. I've got my own 30 year + glut, but at least I've read them..
  10. I had to make up a bandana , my sweat was dripping into the varnish over the weekend..
  11. The name Morning Cloud on the boat should have given you a clue! I wonder what happened to his boats. In later years he lived in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral, with a copper sat in in a tiny shed in the garden. I used to pass his house to get to an aunts just round the corner..
  12. I'd have been extremely tempted to drive off with their boat still attached... And left it on the other side of the river...
  13. you forgot: Lobsters, cos they are almost always red and sunburnt, And the local one... furriners, as in anyone from outside the village
  14. I'm from the west country, via many places, it's the normal term for tourists, If you Choose not to like it . fine.. no different from them talking about NFN or Norfolk webbed fingers..
  15. it would take a lot to hole one of those day boats below the water line, and having sailed all over that area the only possible point would be in the entrance to the Broad, there's a couple of hidden stumps under the water on the left after the gate as you go in. My guess however ...failure of the raw water inlet, and the grockles not knowing how to shut it off..
  16. The 15 metres rule is simply, the point at above which all craft are considered by inland waterways as "limited by their size to manoeuvre " So even in a motor boat, Broads reg 23 (1)(A)(ii) Sailing boat Broads reg 24 (1) (A), You also have to give way to a boat of over 15m
  17. Wroxham broad there won't be a problem, It's a private broad, the sailing club rents, any one else on that broad is by the clubs permission , they can just tell the paddle boarders to Bxxxxxx off. Anywhere else????

    My Day

    I've spent the week repairing the eaves of the mobile home in the garden, later it's time to water proof it all. The heat should help that. But first I'm off down to the boat yard to see how the boat test/ antifouling / service is going on. Horning sailing club's, very limited regatta on black horse broad appears to be going well. Sadly I cant go down due to the limited numbers allowed.

    Towing tin cans on a string might slow you down..
  20. We've always had collies rough or border. Our rescued border is snoring in his bed at the moment. We are intending to get a rough collie next, I've just reviewed rough collie rescue, no dogs available . Various sales sites, no dogs available, specialist exhibition breeders sites, no dogs available . We are not in a hurry anyway, so we'll just wait till the stupidity is over.
  21. You can always add a special character OT your common word.
  22. If you go on line and search "quiet time Morrison's " plus your branch location, it may well come up with a chart showing when it's busy, I've used that for BQ and Tescos, and just checked it worked for Morrison's GY. We went into GY early Monday, the wearing of masks in most stores was surprisingly good, only one customer not wearing a mask, however towards the end of the visit, all the grokles started appearing and it was getting crowded on the streets, so we then started wearing the masks outside as well. The place to avoid were the market food / coffee stands, neither staff nor customers wearing masks, many customers leaning on counters and definitely not distancing.. Officials want you to wear masks to not infect others, however if you are breathing in, through a mask, any airborne particle must stand a chance of being captured by the cloth, especially since the virus is carried by the damp breath of the exhaler. We use the so called disposable masks, however they are disposable because that's what the NHS do as its cheaper than washing them. We have several each they are stored on the car dashboard between uses. By the time they are needed again for the next weeks shopping the will be clear of any virus. After a couple of uses they get thrown in with the wash. They won't last many washes but it extends their life.
  23. All my passwords are different, at each site, using a formula, a common word and something in a sites name. You would need access to several sites passwords to work out the formula. There is a different formula for sites where I purchase items, and a third formula much more complicated for banking. For example, though this isn't my formula, your special word might be "broads" and for this site your resulting password might be sdnabofrb . IE broads spelt backwards with nbf inserted forwards. Or for a company that's no longer with us called Track Shack, sdtaroarb, using the first three letters of track.
