  1. Well my Ultimate hair dressers car, a mark 4 MX5 2 litre remapped, has a cd player, sd card slot and usb player so what do I listen, to usually local radio!. 

    The remapping raises the bhp to 240 and tyres to zero!

    I still miss my TVR Tamora (remapped) 415 bhp of noise, in a car weighing less than a metric tonne, in the dry 0-100 in 7.8 seconds 0-60 2.9 seconds. These figures are from the 1st owner on the Nurembergring.

    In the wet left it at home!

    If you have cancelled your booking check your payment details. I checked my credit card account today to find that not only had they not refunded my deposit but taken a further deposit.

    I hope I get the £100 back. £50 deposit £50 extra deposit.

    Well I got both deposits back the next day.

    On the first instance they phoned me I was given the clear chance to change the booking, take the original booking or a refund of any deposit paid.

    I have no reason to back Hoseasons but how can they be expected to know what any boatyard/holiday company has planned for the future.

    I understood the low deposit was an enticement and full deposit would be required on cancelling.

  4. I had the call today and cancelled the booking.

    We do not want to hire from Stalham nothing against the yard.

    We have booked a different kind of boating holiday since.

    We are going to Portsmouth to visit the Maru Rose/Victory etc.

  5. To save money if you have a gas hob, I recommend a portable/fixed induction hob.

    We have a cheapo portable and fixed one that I inlaid into the work top.

    I don't think Jill has used the gas hob since.

    The biggest problem is how quick they are, I put 2 eggs to fry on and some beans on the new hob the beans burnt while I was doing the eggs!

  6. Just a short note about last week on Clearway from Horning.

    A very nice boat and the walk round bed a real boon! In fact next hire will have to have one, we are of that age it is no longer romantic having to climb over each other in the middle of the night.

    We were not happy running out of water on the first night, but oversights happen, otherwise everything was good.

    The boat handles well and frugal with fuel, although we do not travel endlessly we did about 30 hours travelling and some heater use still got £79 back.

    We did not use it on Sunday because we had booked a meal at Flavours for Sat night, a big shout out for them an excellent meal and on the Sunday we went to visit friends in the car.

    For the gourmets, when we ate out.

    Norada very so-so, nowhere near what we had last year.

    Greys fish and chips the same.

    Swan (Stalham) very good lunch.

    Kens very good Fish and Chips as a takeaway.

    Flavours extremely good, would recommend if you can moor nearby, just round the corner from Horning Pleasurecraft behind the Ferry Inn.

  7. Well, I would like to know exactly which boat it was because if I was to hire from that yard, next year, that is the boat I would want!

    A new boat at old boat prices, unless they charge more for that one than others in the class.

    Ps. I do know but T&Cs say I am not allowed to know!

  8. I hope this is not heading to another forum melt down.

    They usually happen after a boat runs aground/sinks.

    Trying to alot blame and/or fighting between members about the right to post their suppositions about blame/fault has caused many a problem here!

    We cannot know what happened unless the parties involved tell us the facts.

    These things occur, car crashes occur, acts of your god occur.

    Calm down and have sympathy for those that have suffered.
