  1. Looking at the photos supplied I get the impression that a gentleman by the name of Heath Robertson had a hand in the design of the failed part. LOL Good luck with the repair and I hope it doesn't cost a fortune Jeff
  2. that's why I couldn't find it .............I don't do faceache!!!!!! Jeff
  3. Where can I find the details of the proposals please. I have just moved on to Windows 10 and am having difficulty in finding anything Jeff
  4. Never met Ian but will never forget him RIP Pesky Jeff
  5. I see according to AOL news part of the holiday caravan site at Pakefield has decided it wanted to spend a lot more time on the beach !! Jeff
  6. Thoughts are with you Griff. Don't worry about the money side of things........cash can always be replaced. Concentrate on family members.........they need you more than anything just now ( fellow Yorkshire man) Jeff
  7. At those prices it looks like they want to pay for the boat within 3years and make a profit Jeff
  8. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if you are given a receipt to display to show that you have paid for the privilege of using the mooring? If the answer to this is yes then did anyone check to see if the vessel in Grendel's photo had paid as a dayboat or the price for a normal boat? I have a sneaky idea that the boat in question is registered to the BA but did whoever was them helm pay to moor it there? Perhaps they were in the visitor centre paying the fee at the time!!!!!!! Jeff
  9. Thanks for that info. They do say that if you pay attention you will learn something every day Jeff
  10. I have been in touch with the fire brigade who were not called to put out a fire that did not exist and apparently after a thorough investigation it was decided that it was caused by a box a of wet matches being left on board !! Jeff
  11. Just been looking on the BB webcam and have to say how impressive Clifton Bridge looks . Taking into account the time of year it looks exceptional. Very clean and tidy , no scuff marks , everything about it makes it look as good as a new boat. Well done Bridgecraft . It just shows that with attention to detail it can be done!!! Or is it that they only hire to Very careful customers? Jeff
  12. If Horsefen Road is such a problem for access why don't the BA ask themselves for permission to "borrow" a few quid from the petty cash to go and buy a couple of tins of yellow paint and a couple of paint brushes. They could then ask one or two "volunteer rangers" to paint some pretty lines down the side of the road. (no labour charge) Access problem and possibly pedestrian's safety solved !!! Jeff Ouch.! Just bit my tongue and inner cheek together lol Jeff
  13. I wonder, if the BA wanted to create an information centre (or converted telephone box) would the planning application be approved with or without any objections? Or would the change be made and planning be approved afterwards ( if it ever went to the point that approval was needed)? Jeff
  14. Just been looking at the HW webcam and noticed a new shell in the yard. That will give them something to do over the next few months Jeff
  15. If all the yards charged a sensible price in the first place they would not have to offer huge discounts to get their boats out of the yard It seems to me that following Covid they are still trying to recoup what they missed out and so increase the prices for those who cloud not hire a boat at that time. Jeff
  16. Hi Lulu, Love the "new" pictures in your photo. I have just had my second coffee of the day in my mug with the same picture of Wroxham on my mug , (also bought from Roys) Jeff
  17. If you were to take the plunge and try it you would be so annoyed with yourself when you realized what you've been missing!!!!!!!! Jeff
  18. We come down there al the time to try to make it as good as God's own county. Still quite a way to go though in some areas. lol Jeff
  19. Hope someone will provide loads of photos for those of us who will not be able to attend. Jeff
  20. That must have been one heck of a high tide to leave those two boats stranded as high as it did!!!!!! Jeff
  21. I remember that not very long ago, it was always mentioned on the trial run that if there was anything that you were not sure of then "ask and we will go through it again until you are ok with it". This was the norm at every boatyard I have hired from. Are you not allowed to ask questions nowadays or is it "get it right first time or you are out" ? Can you imagine the queue of cars waiting to be dealt with blocking the road outside the yard ? Jeff
  22. HI Robin, Good to see you back where you belong! I notice that black is the colour of choice, both for your fenders and refreshment or was it just something to wash down the meal? Jeff
  23. I have been informed this morning that the dredging work on the River Ant got as far as the entrance to Richardsons and then ended. I am told that the rest of the job will continue next year ! Apparently the area up to Stalham staithe was programmed for four years ago and has still not been done. Anybody got any more information on the situation? Jeff
  24. Nice to know that the council have started to take some action on behalf of public safety. After all don't they have a "duty of care" like so many other organizations ? Jeff
  25. It may go back to car driving lessons. Both my stepson and stepdaughter when learning to drive were both told the same thing by two different instructors. "If the speed limit is 30 then you should drive at 30. Limit of 40 drive at 40. I was taught to drive to the conditions and with a thought for the other road users. Jeff
