England has been sinking since the last Ice age, that has nothing to do with water levels rising in themselves. Nothing directly to do with golbal warming as they talk about now. It's the great weight of the last ice age being removed from Scotland, which is now rising, while England tilts down to the south. From what I can find it's about 0.5mm a year, or 5mm in ten years, or in many of our lifetimes 25mm in 50 years or an inch. Over the lifetime so far of that bridge say 600 years it's dropped a foot along with the surrounding land... 7000 years ago water levels were 15metres below what they are now, thats about 2mm a year, or four times the rate of the land sinking. So in our life times the bridge has effectively dropped a total of 5 inches. https://www.dur.ac.uk/news/newsitem/?itemno=8805 (PS yes I know I've averaged it all out)

The roads works By wroxham railway bridge have been cleared. I use.. https://www.theaa.com/route-planner/traffic-news

New set of road works and traffic lights in Wroxham. Between the Worxham side of the over the railway bridge on Wroxham Road and the mini roundabout. Looks like a a collapsed manhole cover replacement..

Those are the figures for Norfolk, not the area of the Broads... Including places like kings Lynn 50miles away...

For those interested in the race, Stand J28 at the National Dinghy Exhibition Alexandra Palace, 29th Feb-1st Feb 2020 will have entry forms, information, and people with help and advice about the Race.

One problem is when the figure, Nature provides, do not match what the Climate experts want and they frig the figures. https://jennifermarohasy.com/2014/08/whos-going-to-be-sacked-for-making-up-global-warming-at-rutherglen/

The funniest I've seen was a day boat trying to Anchor on Black horse broad.... Using the rhond anchor...

Douglas grew up as Izzy Demsky and legally changed his name to Kirk Douglas before entering the Navy during World War II. Douglas, Lieutenant Junior Grade, enlisted in the United States Navy in 1941, shortly after the United States entered World War II, where he served as a gunnery and communications officer in anti-submarine warfare on board PC-1139. He was medically discharged for war injuries in 1944. He had been deemed too old for the Air Force, but accepted into the Navy. He discharged was due to chronic ameobic dysentary discovered when hospitalized due to abdominal injuries due to dropping of accidental depth charge.

Thanks but it's not a tarp, it is a sheet of plastic no eyelets, sufficient to cover the sailing boat to half way down each side and the stern and bow. So I've a couple of ancient mainsheets one 20 years old the other about 35 years old that I tie that zigzag around the hull. Each mainsheet is long enough for several zigzags. The bricks are to stop the plastic being pulled up between the ropes. On 3 sides there are 6ft fences or sheds a few feet away from the boat , on the fourth I'll park my landrover for the duration.

Welcome to the site.. Big Cheese. Big cheese there is a minor error in your article.. It reports peat cutting went on until the 14th century, I've recently read a book written by someone holidaying in the broads in the late 1800s, early 1900s period and he reports locals still cutting peat then. It was of course for personal, use not the huge scale of the past...

Wel come to the forum If you don't mind rowing across to the moorings, Then I believe Horning sailing club have some. You have to join of course but this years membership is £133 for a family, and the mooring fees are much less than a commercial mooring. The club have a couple of dinghies for the use of those moored across the river. There is a water point at the club, showers /toilets/ free car parking. You would have the option of attending club social events, or sailing. You would be required to do one days duty per year (Between March and October), galley or rescue boat. You can see the moorings on the front page video. The contact address is there as well.. https://horning-sailing.club/index.php

Saturday Moorning, I'm taking down the covers off the marquee I'm rebuilding the sailing boat inside of. Covering the boat with plastic, tieing it up, putting lots of bricks round the decks to hold the plastic down.. Luckily it's not got the keel on yet, so the hull is only a foot off ground level. I was originally continuing making the new keel Sautrday, I might retreat to a shed to do some bits...

The US and UK

You give Thatcher too much credit, Coal sales had started to collapse, there just wasn't the market for it, the unions were fighting every closure hence ever increasing coal mountains..

or about £80 for above ground extension cable you have to put away + another tenner for the plug and socket.. + you'll need an external 16Amp supply at your house probably another £200-300.

I used to programme some test equipment in ATAL, Atlas Test Application Language. My First computer, a UK101, I had to solder something like 75 TTL chips to a board to build it.. 8Kb memory... Later worked on 920B, that had a huge 4 K a side and was built mostly of transistors. But filled a room. Later again worked on the 920ATC that had 128K core store.. but that without PSU and cooling, fitted in your hand..

Working on a archealogical excavation during the summer Holidays, Mind you, I'd have difficultly getting back off of the ground now... I miss being able to get back off the ground without pain.. I miss not having to wear glasses to read. I miss not buying a bag of chips for 6d on the way back from cubs / scouts... I miss being able to eat or drink with out having to consider the sugar / carbohydrate content. I miss Pounds, Shillings and Pence.. I miss being able to buy a car and not worry that some council might decide to ban it from entering next, day/ week / year / 2035. I miss my grandparents.

Put it in the Bin? you were NOT allowed to put food in the bin, if you refused to eat it, you got the cane.. (you normally tried to find someone who would eat it, if the teachers weren't looking, but they were always patrolling up and down..) Custard pink or off white, lumpy on top, watery at the bottom, Fish.. bones glues together with something grey and inedible, Mashed spuds, runny liquid grey with slightly lighter lumps in it. School milk, was not frozen, in the winter it was curdled, where they stacked the crates next to the radiator to melt them.. the classic school dinner was mashed spud, fish, and cauliflower... inedible grey inedible grey and inedible grey packamac Shorts at primary school all year round (grey of course) ONE channel on TV , BBC1 Black and white 405 line with plenty of ghosting, the Hebridies didn't get 4 channels 625 line and Colour until all at the same time in the early 1980s. Radio 2 247metres well I didn't dislike it, but it was the only channel you could get in the hebridies.. The meal theme continued being ex military, the worst being RAF Swinderby being the square bashing camp.. and Alamein Brracks the former RAF Driffield, where you got back from RAF Staxton Wold to find the place in a total mess, and the only choice being sausages as the squadies had eaten anything of vague interest.. Military meals are now cooked by outside contractors, one camp I was at that was good for food was RAF Boulmer when cooked by the RAF. But now it's run by Sudexo they hit the head lines when photos of the food and the complaints book were published on line..

it's a pretty good wage for Norfolk, not to different you get for working here in a High tech company like I do..

Tescos Blue Boar, also stocks haggis all year round, so I guess all the Extra stores will. I always have a stock of freshly shot haggis in the freezer, I've loved the stuff since 1971, when I first had it for school dinners, it was one of the more edible items at school.. I had a good meal at Snowflakes sailing club last night at their Burns night dinner. A well attended event, which had to listen to me, fully kilted up, giving the Burns address.. No one threw anything at me, so that went well.

They probably included the cost of many meetings, to decide. Do they want signs, Where will the signs be, What lies the signs will say, What colour the signs will be, What dimensions the signs Are, What to put in the tender for contract for manufacture, Which bid to accept, Which councils to ask permission of, When to be installed. All of this will take time money , lots of cups of tea plus biscuits . Lots of paid for employee time, lots of Exectutive paid for time..

They did look at a barrier some years ago, but there is a problem. There is less water going out of the exit to the North sea than comes down the rivers. Where does the rest go, ? Under Yarmouth from the airfield to the exit, GY is built on a gravel spit and leaks like a sieve.. You build a barrier and you could well wash away GY, which may or may not be good news..
